Bill Murray Teaming Up with Sofia Coppola for Christmas TV Special
Bill Murray is a man of many talents, and he continues to surprise his fans with the things he does, both on and off the screen. Variety reports that the actor will be reteaming with his Lost in Translation director, Sofia Coppola, for a TV Christmas musical special. The first thing I thought about when I saw this news was the live TV production of A Christmas Carol in the movie Scrooged. Of course, this special won't be anything like that, but it would be hilarious if it was!
Murray and Coppola are still trying figure sit all out, and there's not much information to share yet. Murray did have this to say, though,
“It’s not going to be live. We’re going to do it like a little movie. It won’t have a format, but it’s going to have music. It will have texture. It will have threads through it that are writing. There will be prose. It will have a patina style and wit to it. It will be nice."
Coppola added her two cents, saying, "We’re working on a Christmas special. Not sure when it will air, but my motivation is to hear him singing my song requests."
I have no idea what to expect from this project, but I can't help but imagine that it's going to be entertaining as hell. How can it not be?! Especially with Bill Murray singing away.
