Sept 17 - Francis Ford Coppola quote in this week's Entertainment Weekly

Entertainment Weekly never disappoints. this week, in the article on p. 69 about the new version of The Outsiders, Francis Ford Coppola is quoted:

Perhaps the most noticeable change is the new soundtrack, which cuts back on the velvety score by Coppola's late father, Carmine, substituting the rock & roll extravangza that the director originally wanted. "I listened to it later and thought, this is a little thick. Like a curtin. But I didn't feel comfortable removing his cues. I'd say, 'Hey, Dad, maybe we could use a little more Elvis Presley here.' There came a point where if I put in some more greaser music, it would then remove his. So I couldn't do it."
