Deadline has an exclusive report that Francis Ford Coppola is directing a horror flick called Twixt Now and Sunrise with undertones of being a thriller. His key star is Val Kilmer with Elle Fanning and Bruce Dern.  Kilmer plays a horror novelist with the story written by Coppola.  Production is rolling in Napa, on Coppola’s property.

Lately, Coppola has been picking up speed, directing more movies (Youth Without Youth, Tetro) while making his popular wine.  The thriller/horror genre movie will prove to be worthwhile.   We mustn’t forget is honorary Oscar this coming Academy Awards Governor’s Ball. I am happy to see Kilmer is picking up his pace as well.  He’s been getting some pretty awesome roles of late (Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.)
