Bill Murray will be starring in a Christmas TV special, which is set to be directed by Sofia Coppola.
The special will include Murray singing some holiday classics. “It’s not going to be live,” the 64-year-old actor told Variety. “We’re going to do it like a little movie. It won’t have a format, but it’s going to have music. It will have texture. It will have threads through it that are writing. There will be prose.”
Coppola confirmed the news, saying “We’re working on a Christmas special. Not sure when it will air, but my motivation is to hear him singing my song requests.”
Murray and Coppola previously worked together on 2003’s Lost in Translation. Murray earned an Oscar nomination for his role in the film, and Coppola took home the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
