Age of Consent


I was interested when I heard that Sofia Coppolla was going to be writing and directing a film about Marie Antoinette, starring Kirsten Dunst and Max Fischer Jason Schwartzman. Well the first teaser trailer for it came out and I was very surprised by it. It looks a lot like a music video, mostly because there is no dialogue. The song used is an interesting choice too.
The song is New Order's "Age of Consent." Is Coppolla going to try and use contemporary music to spice up the movie a la A Knight's Tale? I hope that's not the case. Anyway I love the song and thought I'd share it with you, and the trailer, and an Arcade Fire cover of the song. Duh everything has to relate to them some how.

The Arcade Fire are without doubt the best thing to happen to music for years. Just because most of us found out about them before they became big doesn't matter. They became big for all the right reasons, brilliance and originality(but even their cover versions are amazing, there's quite a few now aren't there?) if you have a second head over to http://tommyshots.blogspot.com for some new bands

Arcade Fire sounds terrible. Original is [most of the time] better, and in this case, it sure as hell is. The film also looks crummy. Baby Coppolla is no Daddy Coppolla.
