Sofia Coppola to Direct "The Little Mermaid"

Great news came in a few weeks ago. The most talked about female director in the world  is said to direct the live action film adaption of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid."

Why should we be excited? Coppola is the best choice. She is a very unique auteur with films about women being treated unfairly and, sometimes unlawfully. This will be Coppola's sixth feature-length.film and will rest assuredly be her most ambitious one to date.

Funny or Die's parody trailer has smacks of "Somewhere" (2010) and "The Bling Ring" (2013)
