Dan Deacon to score new Francis Ford Coppola movie, delight Val Kilmer
Dan Deacon, Wham City founding member, local goofball, will score an upcoming movie by Francis Ford Coppola, noted filmmaker of "Bram Stoker's Dracula."
And some little-noticed Italian mobster movies.
Deacon, who was classically trained at SUNY Purchase, will score Coppola's "Twixt Now and Sunrise," a movie starring Val Kilmer and Elle Fanning that will be released later this year, Pitchfork Media reported.
How this meeting of minds happened is not known. I've e-mailed Deacon for a response; Pitchfork credits a press release with the announcement.
Maybe Papa Coppola started listening to "Bromst" on his time off at the vineyard. Though, in all honesty, Deacon sounds more like Val Kilmer's bag, something to rock out to at his ranch.
Interestingly, no Coppola movies are on the schedule for Deacon's Gunky's Basement revival movie series. A suggestion? Screen the deliciously cheese Dracula movie.
Update: Francis Ford Coppola and Dan Deacon explain how they met.

I'm hoping you were being witty with your "noted filmmaker of Bram Stoker's Dracula" line.
I liked Dracula and all, but you do realize this is the guy that directed The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and The Conversation among others?
To quote Weekend Update: Really? Reaaalllly???

Hmmmm... did I miss the line underneath that about the mobster movies? If so, my bad. Or did Maza add that later? Either way I look stupid now. Oh well, not the first time.

I think quoting weekend update took care of the looking stupid part.
