ComingSoon.net talked to Sofia Coppola at a recent press day about being pregnant, a baby, and her future project. Here's what she has to say:
CS: Congratulations on the baby. Are you having a boy or a girl?
Sofia Coppola: A girl. I'm seven months along. Two more months to go. My dress is bigger.
CS: How did the scenes of Marie Antoinette and her kids resonate when you become pregnant and would you approach them differently now?
Coppola: I don't know how I'd approach things differently but I wasn't pregnant while I was working on the movie so I just took all that from what I read about her and how unconventional and close she was with her children, so I wanted to show her maternal side which was unusual at that time to be involved with raising of children. So I don't know how it changed my perspective. We'll see.
CS: What's the next film you're going to work on?
Coppola: I'm not sure yet. I feel like I've been working on this for so long that I'm looking forward to taking a break and focusing on the baby and then eventually get back to writing. I'm not sure what I want to do next but I definitely would like to work on a smaller scale after this. It was daunting working on such a big scale which I enjoyed but it was hard. I think I'd like to go back to doing something on a smaller scale.
