Vampires + witches + a murder mystery + a novelist + Val Kilmer = Twixt, Francis Ford Coppola’s latest directorial effort. The Toronto International Film Festival has just debuted the first trailer from Coppola’s horror thriller and it’s…well…not what you’d expect from the five-time Oscar winner. Hopefully, the film’s much better than this first trailer.
The Twixt Plot: A writer with a career in decline arrives in a small town as part of his book tour and gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl. That night in a dream, he is approached by a mysterious young ghost named V. He’s unsure of her connection to the murder in the town but is grateful for the story being handed to him. Ultimately, he is led to the truth of the story, surprised to find that the ending has more to do with his own life than he could ever have anticipated.
Twixt stars Val Kilmer, Bruce Dern, Elle Fanning, and Ben Chaplin, and was written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
