John Lennon e Francis Ford Coppola



Riprendo un'interessante curiosità che ha messo in luce il sempre interessante sito www.dangerousminds.net

Il regista Cameron Crowe ha postato su Twitter un veloce carteggio tra JOHN LENNON e FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA.
Il regista impegnato nelle faticosissime riprese di "Apocalypse now!" nelle Filippine si rivolge a John, presumibilmente per chiedergli una collaborazione musicale al film.

March 24, 1977

Dear John:
We’ve never met but, of course, I’ve always enjoyed your work.

I am presently in the Philippines making “APOCALYPSE NOW”. I’ve been here eight months, expect to be here another several months. I live inside a volcano, which is a jungle paradise, where there are beautiful mineral springs; and thought of ever you were in the Far East or if ever you would enjoy spending a little time talking about things in general and some distant future projects that I have in mind, please, I would love to cook dinner for you and just talk, listen to music and talk about movies.

If coming to the Far East is difficult, then someday in the future, either in Los Angeles, San Francisco or New York, I would like to meet you.

Sincerely,

Francis Coppola


John risponde un po' sbrigativamente.

Dear Frank,

Having given a lot more thought to this idea, I realize that due to my work schedule I really don’t have the time for such a big new project.

I love the book but it would take to much energy etc.

Best wishes to you, it was nice meeting you

Love
