Sony will distribute the film worldwide with the exception of France and Japan, the rights to which Coppola has retained....
"I've always loved the story of Marie-Antoinette and the decadence of Versailles on the brink of revolution," said Coppola, "and the fact she was just a teenager when circumstances forced her to play a significant role in history."

Kirsten Dunst as Marie A!!! WTF???

Damn that chick bugs me.. she spoils the movies that she is in.. is it just me??

Sophia Crapola irritates me more than Kirsten Dumbst.

It works like this - release a rather mediocre film which is partly funded by your famous daddy and the critics acclaim it as "hilarious" (that was the wording), the few people who go to see it say it was "ummm, made me laugh once" and no-one's the wiser.

Oh, apart from the cinema-going public.

Hey, didn't you know? Nepotism is the new meritocracy!

Bah.
