I was determined and probably spent a year trying to track him down. “I don’t even know how we got our financing without a contract. “We went to Tokyo and were spending money in the hope that he would show up,” Coppola said. Coppola began financing the movie before Murray was officially attached, which she remembered as “nerve-wracking.”
The filmmaker wrote the role of Bob Harris with Murray in mind and knew the entire project lived or died on the comedian agreeing to play the role. She was only 17.”Ĭasting Bill Murray posed a greater challenge for Coppola. I wasn’t surprised she went on to do lots of different things after but I’m surprised when I look back at how young she was. She’s able to convey a lot without saying anything. There was some quality about her that stood out and I connected with. “She had that husky voice even then and seemed mature beyond her years. “She was like 12 years old and I just loved her,” Coppola said. Coppola knew Johansson was the one after seeing her breakout performance in “Manny and Lo.” Scarlett Johansson was the first actress to sign on for the movie in the role of Charlotte, a young college graduate unsure of her marriage to a celebrity photographer. “’Brief Encounter’ was in my mind while writing but I was looking a lot of the idea of being connected because at that moment, I wasn’t.” “I was in this stage where I wasn’t sure if I’d made the right choices or what I was doing in the post-college beginning of my adult life,” Coppola remembered.
