Roman Coppola is best known for co-writing Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited and Moonrise Kingdom, and for directing commercials, and his last feature was CQ, back in 2001. Not for nothing, he also has a righteous monobrow. Next year, he returns to features with A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, which opens February 8th, about a graphic designer who starts going nuts when his girlfriend leaves him. Charlie Sheen plays Charles Swan, Bill Murray his accountant, and Jason Schwartzman his stand-up comic best friend. Today we have a trailer (below), and… well, it doesn’t make any f*cking sense.
Movie? What movie? All I saw was a bunch a actors wearin’ costumes.
I… don’t… know what’s going on…
Closest I can tell, this is some sort of boozy Eurotrash version of Scott Pilgrim. Where instead of fighting seven evil exes, Charlie Sheen has to re-enact a Jerry Lewis sketch with a puppet.

I believe in Bill Murray. Have faith.
Also, I really think that the it was just a really badly made trailer. I could see some Anderson-esque quirkness in there that looked charming but didn’t match up with the music and copy.
Do I need to see A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan Parts I and II first? Ha ha ha.
I hate myself.
But seriously, I bet half the budget was spent insuring Charlie Sheen.
The only time I didn’t want to punch Jason Schwartzman(sp) in the face was when I first watched Rushmoore because I thought he was acting. Then I saw him in other stuff and realized he was a cunt.
You beat me to it with the “Jason Schwartzman is a punchable cunt” comment. In fact, I’m not sure who’s more of a smug twat-faced prick here, Schwartzman or Sheen.
Thank Odin for Bill Murray <3
God forbid a Coppola not have a film career. Isn’t there one of them that’s just like a janitor or something? That said, couldn’t the relative in front of the camera been Nicholas Cage? I mean this seems to be perfect for him.
This has a chance of being brilliant. And there is no end in my faith in Bill Murray.
I like that the trailer didn’t ring of overproduced typical hollywood bullshit. It was more like, here are 30 disconjointed moments from an acid flashback.
I like how they’re trying to cancel out Charlie Sheen’a despicability was with Bill Murray’s lovability. Very crafty.
Bill Murray, Whiskey, Aubrey Plaza and an “R” rating for “Some Nudity”? I’ll take my chances
So basically it’s Sucker Punch but they’ve replaced pretentiousness for whimsy?
After Vince’s comment about Scott Pilgrim I thought Scott Pilgrim meets the dream parts of Eternal Sunshine, but Sucker Punch works too.
Is it bad that I don’t have a uterus, and yet still totally want to have Bill Murray’s babies? Seriously. I’m not kidding. They have GOT to stop working on all that NASA and War in the Middle East crap and start working on making this happen. It’s called priorities people, maybe you’ve heard of them.
This is what happens when you give Sheen a Fellini boxset for Christmas.
Charlie Sheen looks like Tony Clifton.
Look I love Bill Murray as much as the next person but I wouldn’t say I have faith. I go by facts. The facts are that he chose to make a movie with Charlie Sheen (by itself a major red flag) and it looks like shit.
Did they say SSBB? How is Super Smash Bros Brawl involved in all this? Is this a Mario Party gone wrong?
