Award-winning director, screenwriter, and producer Sofia Coppola has recently provided more details on why her adaptation of the novel, “The Custom of the Country,” by the acclaimed American author Edith Wharton, was never produced and shown on Apple TV Plus. The director had plans to develop the story into a five-episode miniseries.
In a new interview, which appears in the latest issue of the New Yorker magazine, “Coppola had cast Oscar nominee Florence Pugh to star in the lead role of Undine Spragg, a Midwestern girl who attempts to ascend in New York City society,” according to Variety.
