Coppola’s ‘The Conversation’ to become AMC TV series
By Behind The Scenes TV on Aug 7, 2008 in TV, TV Shows
In 1974, in between creating The Godfather and The Godfather, Part 2, Oscar-winning writer-director Francis Ford Coppola made a film that was just as seminal as the Mafia dramas: The Conversation.
It was in many ways a small picture, starring Gene Hackman (in a brilliant performance), and including some people on the brink of stardom, Cindy Williams (pre-Laverne & Shirley), Teri Garr (pre-Young Frankenstein) and Harrison Ford (pre-Star Wars and Raiders). The Conversation won the top prize as the Cannes Film Festival.
Now, AMC has given Tony Krantz (24), the go ahead to produce a pilot based on the film.
