I may have written about Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III in the past, I'm not sure, but only today did I add the film to the database along with a gallery of six posters and four pictures from the film as well as the trailer. So I figured I'd give it some attention.
Coppola co-wrote the Oscar-nominated script for Moonrise Kingdom alongside Wes Anderson as well as The Darjeeling Limited before that and now he's coming to the table with his second feature film starring Charlie Sheen, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Aubrey Plaza and Patricia Arquette.
Charles Swan is set in a stylized Los Angeles and described as a playful comedy of lost love, friendship, revenge fantasies, and Brandy Alexanders. Charles (Sheen) is a successful graphic designer whose fame, money and charm have provided him with a seemingly perfect life. When his true love, a perplexing beauty named Ivana, suddenly breaks off their relationship, Charles' life falls apart and he swirls into a downward spiral of doubt, confusion and reflection. With the support of his loyal intimates— Kirby (Schwartzman), Saul (Murray), and his sister, Izzy (Arquette) -- he begins the hard road of self-evaluation to come to terms with a life without Ivana. The film begs the question: Is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time?
Featured below are all ten images as well as the trailer and a large look at the final theatrical poster.
A24, which just picked up James Ponsoldt's The Spectacular Now out of Sundance and will also distribute another film from the Coppola family, Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, will distribute Charles Swan into select theaters on February 8, but it is available right now On Demand and on outlets such as iTunes, Amazon Streaming, Vudu, PS3 Playstation Unlimited, XBOX Zune, CinemaNow and even YouTube.

seems to have the Wes Anderson style to it. I'm game to go see this
I really want to see this, I think it will be a fun, quirky time at the movies.... And it has a hell of a cast...
I hate to be this guy, Brad, but I must correct you.... This is Roman Coppolas second feature film... His first was a movie called CQ, it came out back in 2001 and was a guy making a sci-fi film back in thr 60's...

I remember going to see it back then (when I would go see as many indie films as I could) and being struck by it's charm, but it was very much in the Wes Anderson house of filming style... I should track it down and watch it again... As itvhas bern 12 years since I've seen it
"...it has been...*
Dammit! I looked it up and knew he had done another film, just overlooked it. Thanks, all fixed.
This looks quite interesting. I love Wes Anderson and the Coppola's work is usually pretty good. I will definitely check out CQ and can't wait for Bling Ring. Brad, are you going to review this at all?
