Francis Ford Coppola targets San Diego Comic-Con for “Twixt” reveal

Legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola is coming back to San Diego Comic-Con. This will be the director’s first appearance at the show since back in 1992 when he was pimping “Bram Stoker’s Dracula,” so here’s your chance to ask all those burning questions you still have about his 1996 Robin Williams vehicle, “Jack.”

Coppola will be appearing to discuss his new experimental horror film, “Twixt.” Starring Val Kilmer, Elle Fanning, Bruce Dern and others, the movie is being filmed at Coppola’s Napa Valley estate and will feature tunes from electronic musician Dan Deacon, who will also be in attendance at the presentation.

Previously referred to as “Twixt Now and Sunrise,” the now more sleekly named film has been described by Coppola as “one-part Gothic romance, one-part personal film, and on-part the kind of horror film that began my career.” You can get an early look at scenes from the movie on Saturday, July 23 in Hall H (if you can get a seat, that is). But be forewarned: The movie is based upon a dream Coppola once had, said to “have the imagery of [Nathaniel] Hawthorne or [Edgar Allan] Poe,” and we vaguely remember him saying the same thing about “Jack.”

Do you think “Twixt” will be a return to form for Francis Ford Coppola? Also, will he get into cosplay for the convention? Let us know below or on Twitter or Facebook.

The Best Of The Last

Portlandia Goes Out With A Bang

Posted by on

The end is near. In mere days Portlandia wraps up its final season, and oh what a season it’s been. Lucky for you, you can watch the entire season right now right here and on the IFC app, including this free episode courtesy of Subaru.

But now, let’s take a moment to look back at some of the new classics Fred and Carrie have so thoughtfully bestowed upon us. (We’ll be looking back through tear-blurred eyes, but you do you.)

Couples Dinner

It’s not that being single sucks, it’s that you suck if you’re single.

Cancel it!

A sketch for anyone who has cancelled more appointments than they’ve kept. Which is everyone.

Forgotten America

This one’s a “Serial” killer…everything both right and wrong about true crime podcasts.

Wedding Planners

The only bad wedding is a boring wedding.

Disaster Hut

It’s only the end of the world if your doomsday kit doesn’t include rosé.

Your Portlandia Personality Test

The New Portlandia Webseries Is Going Your Way

Posted by on

Carrie and Fred understand that although we have so much in common, we’re each so beautifully unique and different. To help us navigate those differences, Portlandia has found an easy and honest way to embrace our special selves in the form of a progressive new traffic system: a specific lane for every kind of driver. It’s all in honor of the show’s 8th and final season, and it’s all presented by Subaru.

Ready to find out who you really are? Match your personality to a lane and hop on the expressway to self-understanding.

Lane 10: Trucks Piled With Junk

Your junk is falling out of your trunk. Shake a tail light, people — this lane is for you.

Lane 33: Twins

You’re like a Gemini, but waaaay more pedestrian. Maybe you and a friend just wear the same outfits a lot. Who cares, it’s just twinning enough to make you feel special.

Lane 27: Broken Windows

Bad luck follows you around and everyone knows it. Your proverbial seat is always damp from proverbial rain. Is this the universe telling you to swallow your pride? Yes.

Lane 69: Filthy Cars

You’re all about convenience. Getting your car washed while you drive is a no-brainer.

Lane 43: Newly Divorced Singles

It’s been a while since you’ve driven alone, and you don’t know the rules of the road anymore. What’s too fast? What’s too slow? Are you sending the right signals? Don’t worry, the breakdown lane is nearby if you need it.

Still can’t find a lane to match your personality? Check out all the videos here. And see the final season of Portlandia this spring on IFC.
