If you’re in the US it may seem your festive viewing is already going to be bizarre enough. I mean, Christopher Walken is playing an all-singing, all-dancing Captain Hook. That’s enough craziness for one season, right? Wrong. Because Bill Murray has revealed he is to collaborate once more with director Sofia Coppola. But not on a big screen project – the idea is for a Christmas TV Special that will potentially see the star belting out carols. Murray attempted to elucidate:
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.
Thanks Bill, that clears that up. Coppola herself has voiced a desire to see her LOST IN TRANSLATION lead roast his chestnuts on an open fire in a possible medley of classic tunes. Whether this is an elaborate gag between the pair, or if the concept that puts a whole new spin on the word “intriguing” turns out to be true, it’ll be another diverse path the veteran actor’s career will have taken. Ho ho, and indeed, ho.
