Ngemuva kokuhoxa kwakhe okwaziwayo efilimini yeshashalazi ethi "The Little Mermaid", iphrojekthi eyamjabulisa ekuqaleni, okwadala ukulindela okuthile emkhakheni, kepha yini umehluko wobuciko (noma lokho okwakudlula) okwamenza washiya umqondo, futhi USofia Coppola ubuye ezindabeni.
Umqondisi owaziwayo usezoqala iphrojekthi entsha, ehlanganisa izici zakhe zomqondisi, umbhali wesikrini nomdidiyeli.
Kuzo ukwenziwa kabusha kwefilimu edlala noClint Eastwood ngo-1971, futhi kwaqondiswa nguDon Siegel "The Seducer." Esiqeshini sayo sokuqala, ifilimu ilandisa ngendaba yesosha laseYankee elifuna ukuphephela esikoleni samantombazane okugibela kuso phakathi neMpi Yombango. Ngenkathi elulama emanxebeni akhe, isosha lithandana nabesifazane abahle kakhulu ahlangana nabo endleleni yakhe, besebenzisa iqiniso lokuthi bacindezelwe kakhulu isikhathi nendawo abahlala kuyo.
Ibhayisikobho kuyinto ngokususelwa kunoveli kaThomas Cullinan, futhi yize ifilimu kusukela kuma-70s okuqala yayingeyona impumelelo ethandwa kakhulu, kubonakala kuyiprojekthi ephelele yomqondisi uCoppola: isikole okuhlalwa kuso samantombazane lapho engangena khona esihlokweni asithandayo: isikhathi sobusha besifazane, imizwa yakhe, imibono yakhe, ukuzidela kwakhe kanye nokungahambi kahle kwakhe.
Umenzi wamafilimu uzungeze ngabalingisi bezintandokazi. Kanye nomlingisi wakhe amthandayo, UKirsten Dunst, ngizo Elle Fanning (obesesebenze noSofia ku-movie ethi "Somewhere: In the corner of the heart" kanye nomlingisi osemnkantshubomvu Nicole Sheridan. UFanning uzohumusha umfundi wasesikoleni okuhlalwa kuso, uDunst aye kuthisha wasesikhungweni esifanayo, noKidman aye kuthishanhloko wesikole.
Ngokuqondene ne umlingisi wesilisa akukaziwa ukuthi ngubani ongadlala le ndima. Futhi asazi ukuthi impikiswano izolandela indlela efanayo nenguqulo yangaphambilini.
