Gia Coppola's childhood home in LA asks $2.25M for sale
Lights, camera, Coppola! A Spanish Revival gem in California with deep ties to Hollywood royalty has hit the market for $2.25 million — offering not just sweeping views of Los Angeles, but a front-row seat to the Coppola family legacy. Tucked into the winding streets of Whitley Heights, a historic enclave once favored by silent film icons like Rudolph Valentino and Charlie Chaplin, the 1922 residence was once owned by 'The Godfather' director Francis Ford Coppola.

Her credits include 'The Last Showgirl,' which came out in 2024. During their time in the home, the mother-daughter duo turned the 1,931-square-foot property into a bohemian Hollywood salon, hosting gatherings that blurred the line between work and play. Advertisement Guests have included everyone from Demi Moore, Leonardo DiCaprio to the Smashing Pumpkins, while Jacqui — whose styling credits span from 'The Darjeeling Limited' to music videos for the Beastie Boys and the Strokes — curated a distinctly calm ambiance. Architecturally, the three-bedroom, four-bath home retains its 1920s charm, with hand-troweled plaster walls, vintage tile, arched French doors and a red-tile roof. 13 Francis Ford Coppola with Gia Coppola in 2014.

Director Sofia Coppola Hates Violent Films, Applauds Old Cowboy Movies
Washington : In an era of action cinema, the 'Lost in Translation' director, Sofia Coppola, says that she doesn't prefer watching "overdone" violent films as it is quite "upsetting" for her, reported Variety. While speaking at a masterclass at the Biarritz' Nouvelles Vagues Festival, as quoted by Variety, Coppola explained her lack of affinity for the action cinema. She said that watching violence in cinema "upsets" her due to the gun violence in the US, her birthplace. "There's so much gun violence in my country. It's really hard to see [those] movies. Old cowboys are cool, but just the way [violence] is overdone now is upsetting," said Sofia as quoted by Variety. Coppola, who flew from New York to be the guest of honor at the third edition of Nouvelles Vagues Festival in the picturesque south-western town of Biarritz, cited Martin Scorsese as a filmmaker whose movies have violence that serves a narrative purpose, reported Variety. "I love Scorsese, so there are moments for it," she said, adding that "violent themes can be interesting or insinuating. But really, gory, not so much for me," as quoted by Variety. At the masterclass, the director also reminded us about her childhood, her early passion for fashion, photography and the making of 'The Virgin Suicides'. She said a male director was initially developing the adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides's novel "The Virgin Suicides" before she came on board and had a much different take on the book, reported Variety. "When I read the book, I loved it, and I heard that a guy was going to make it. He was going to make it very dark and sexual. I was like, 'That's not how I see it. I hope they don't make it like that," said Sofia Coppola as quoted by Variety. The director shared that she started adapting a few chapters to "learn how you adapt a book into a screenplay," and later on, when she felt confident enough, she asked the producers to consider her script "if it didn't work out with the guy they had," she said, reported Variety. Eventually, Coppola directed the film, which world premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999 and became a cult classic.

How much are tickets to see Francis Ford Coppola discuss ‘Megalopolis' live?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Following the theatrical release of 2024's 'Megalopolis,' the film somehow ceased to exist. Francis Ford Coppola's latest — his 23rd feature-length directorial effort and first since 2011 — did not hit streaming services. No physical media hit shelves. It seemed as if you missed the movie at the multiplex, you were out of luck. However, now a little less than a year later, we're starting to see why. The 86-year-old auteur recently announced he's striking out on a six-show 'Megalopolis' tour where he'll screen and discuss the divisive yet rewarding, challenging yet invigorating film live. 'This is the way 'Megalopolis' was meant to be seen, in a large venue, with a crowd and followed by intense interactive discussions about the future,' Coppola shared via Instagram. 'I'm bringing 'Megalopolis' to unique theatres in select cities across the country. Following the screenings, I will lead an interactive conversation about the future of humanity, along with a live audience Q&A.' On the brief trek, the Hofstra grad is set to make two New York and New Jersey stops to chat about the film that tells the story of an 'alternate United States' called New Rome where plans to build 'Megalopolis,' a utopian urbanist community is proposed. First, he'll hit Red Bank, NJ's Count Basie Center on Sunday, July 20. Soon after, the visionary behind 'The Godfather,' 'The Conversation,' 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Outsiders' swings into Port Chester, NY's Capitol Theatre on Wednesday, July 23. If you want to be there to catch the cinema icon/American Zoetrope founder talk about the heady flick (which stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Fishburne, Shia LaBeouf and so, so, so many more), tickets can be scooped up for most shows as of today. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one show was $55 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other shows start anywhere from $60 to $90 including fees.
