Bill Murray is making a holiday special for television.
Greatest. Christmas. Ever.
The “St. Vincent” actor will sing classic Christmas carols in a show directed by Sofia Coppola.
No, I’m not making this up.
“It’s not going to be live,” Murray 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. It will have a patina style and wit to it. It will be nice.”
Thank you, Santa Claus.
“We’re working on a Christmas special,” Coppola confirmed. “Not sure when it will air, but my motivation is to hear him singing my song requests.”
It will be the pair’s first collaboration since “Lost In Translation.” No other details have been announced.
