Kirsten Dunst and the beautiful, barely looking almost 8 months pregnant, Sofia Coppola premiered their movie at the New York Film Festival. The duo spoke at a press conference to discuss the supposed boos at the Cannes Film Festival, the music selection, and how we didn't learn about Marie in school. However, apparently this film won't teach us much either. Here's more:
AP: Kirsten, what had you known about Marie?
Dunst: I'd learned what I learned in school. I never really had tried to take the time to look at a historical figure in a personal way before. When you're in school, you don't. You just memorize dates and wars.
Coppola: They don't teach us very much about foreign history in school.
Dunst: They don't. It was a small paragraph in my book, and then it was more about Napoleon and what happened after. Just like, OK, that was the queen that was beheaded.
AP: Did you have any reservations about playing an 18th century noblewoman?
Dunst: I knew the way Sofia would do it that I could do it. I knew it wasn't going to be a really self-serious film where we're going to teach people a lesson about French history, that it would be an introspective story of what she envisioned this woman's life to be like. So of course, it's a daunting thought, but I felt safe with Sofia. The reason I wanted to do it is Sofia's take on the whole thing made it very exciting.

what are they both wearing??? are they going to a press conference or are they going to bed???
1Beautiful????? Sofia Coppola is one of the most hedious fugly woman in Hollywood. Her face is amazingly hard to look at
2I disagree, I think Sofia is very, very pretty.
3LOL yayi. You're bad!!! I think Kirsten is worst than Sofia.
4She's not pretty at all.
5eh, kirsten needs to BRUSH HER HAIR
6LOL...Man Yayita I have to remember to stay on your good-side!!!
So basically there is NO point whatsoever to this movie...Kirsten is bluntly telling us there is NOTHING groundbreaking about this film...NO insight at all and this was pretty much a paycheck for her.
I'm sorry but I really can't stand Kirsten at all...I wish they would've given this role to an actress who would have been more serious about the movie! I love history and I was very interested in the story of Marie Antoinette...but I most definitely will not be checking out the movie.
Kristen thanks for the heads up...what a dummy.
7Yikes thosetwo look dirty.Likethey should be with Kate Moss or something.
8That is funny Luna
9yet again Kiki proves how dumb she is. you're doing a movie about one of the most famous women in history & you don't know anything about her? nice...
10Sophia is much more interesting to look at than kiki...
Listening to an actress who's uneducated about the role she's playing is a sure sign that this movie sucks.
11I loved "The Virgin Suicides" and "Lost In Translation" but I have no interest in seeing this movie.
I still like Sofia, though. I think she's cute, chic, and smart.
12Did Kirstin just escape from jail?
13I like Kirsten's shirt, actually. To be honest, I don't mind her. I don't particularly LIKE her, but I have nothing against her.
14Hey I am not surprised, I grew up in Colombia, South America and by the time I was in middle school, I knew all about differente countries and their cultures. The schools here in the U.S. are very ignorant. People here graduate from school and know nothing about the world. I mean, look at the President, he knows NOTHING about the international arena and he is suppose to be the representative of this country to the rest of the world. Its pretty embarrasing.
You will always get the Truth from me!
15I hear you TruthLady!!
I guess I'm the only one looking forward to this film ~ however, I'm taking it for what it is, I never expected to learn anything new ~ I'm also excited about this soundtrack!!
16Yeah, the soundtrack looks AWESOME... Gang of Four, Kevin Shields, Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Order, etc.
Love it. Sofia always chooses awesome music for her films.
17oh, i'll definately see it. I love stuff like that. Remember the dance scene in Knight's Tale?! loved every minute of it
18Sofia Coppola is extremely talented but beautiful? I don't think so. I think the film got booed at Cannes.
19WHAT is Kristen wearing?! does this girl have a stylist? if not, she should get one ASAP... if she does - fire her and get a new one!!!
20sofia is interesting looking... not FUGLY by any stretch... but kirsten needs to hire a stylist... you have the money, you cheap hooker!
21This film was booed at Cannes so that pretty much tells you what a pile of crap it is. Was it on here that I read that the soundtrack was like, Marie Antoinette meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High? What's up with that?
22kidcrazy! HEY! Yes, apparently, it is a "modern" soundtrack.
23i dont think its a "pile of crap"... they were in FRANCE, of course the french were gonna boo an alterna-rock american version of the French woman, Marie Antoinette!!!
24Prob modern in the same way the soundtrack was for the Romeo and Juliet remake
25I LOVED that movie and soundtrack. Except I thought Claire Danes was all wrong for the Juliet role. I don't know why, except I cannot stand her now.
26except that was in modern times as well... this will be interesting i think-- sofia is smart and artistic and I am not expecting a historical lesson or anything, just a story of a young woman on a journey of life...
27jenna- me neither... she ruined that for me...
28Yea I liked it also. Claire didn't bother me tho. They didn't have a lot of chemistry tho, now that I think of it.
29Why does Kirsten look like she rolled outta bed and showed up for this? Tres tacky!
Believe in Magic!
30This sounds REALLY bad but I have always thought Claire Danes was very homely and she could never get someone as hot as Leo...so that is why I didn't like her in it. she ran off with a man whose girlfriend was 8 mos pregnant, so that is why I don't like her now.
31oh i loved R&J...one of my all time favs...who did Claire run off with? I know she broke poor sweet Ben Lee's heart...
32sashak- billy crudup... jack ass left his pregnant girlfriend for the ho
33I always thought the opposite, that Leo was too homely for Claire.
She's with Billy Crudup, who left Mary Louise Parker for her.
34They both are hideous looking... I don't know why shes an actress b/c to my opinion she sucks big time, she's so god danm corny and ugly (its not even funny)... I can't stand her
35agreed jenna v rome and juliette was awesome great altho claire danes completely mis cast , and i never got the hoopla over her either. totally fug and hooks up with a man taht has an 8 month pregnant women.. cla- SSY
36"They don't teach you much about foreign history at school..."
Nice cop-out. Ever heard of getting your lazy, self-righteous ass to a library and reading up for yourself?
37Now which one of them is pregnangt? Because I swear it looks like it's Kirsten. Hello? Doesn't she know that horizontal stripes are a no-no? And I'm sorry, but I don't care how big of a trend they become, I would never be caught dead in tapered leg pants. Maybe because I grew up in the 80s and already learned this lesson?
38ha ha "tapered leg pants"! That was funny Veronica81, but I won't speak too soon because I may actually become a "skinny jean" victim. hmmmmmm. . . but I doubt it. I'm too short, and insecure about my thighs.
39She just learned what was in the script I doubt the other actors know about her either
