It is Francis Ford Coppola's first directed film since 1997's The Rainmaker. It will be distributed through Sony Pictures Classics in the United States and Pathé in the UK and France. He told the San Francisco Chronicle in May 2007 "It's very personal... Francis wrote the screenplay based on a book he loves very much, and the treatment is very original. I think people will be surprised when they see it." The film was shot with a Sony HDC-F900 in High Definition and edited on Final Cut Pro 5. The movie has been screened in front of friends and fellow directors after the 79th Academy Awards Ceremony (in which he was a presenter). Coppola has gone on record as saying that the movie is very personal, and not a standard Hollywood film. Originally the movie was to be distributed by United Artists. However, Sony Pictures Classics is going to handle a limited US release of the film on December 14, 2007.
