Sofia Coppola admits she was shocked Apple TV+ axed her adaptation of The Custom Of The Country starring Florence Pugh: 'I thought they had endless resources'


The 52-year-old filmmaker had been working on a series based on the book ever since May of 2020, and it was intended to have been made available to viewers on the Apple TV+ service.

The director, who recently spoke about her'magical' childhood with her father Francis, ultimately had her project shut down in the latter months of 2021, and she has since stated that finding out about the demise of the show was 'a real drag.' Coppola also revealed that Florence Pugh had been cast as Undine Spragg, a Midwesterner who attempts to establish herself in New York high society, in the unrealized series. Coppola's newest project, Priscilla, premiered during the 80th Venice International Film Festival and was given a wide release in the United States last November.
