Gia Coppola to Direct “Mainstream,” a Love Triangle Featuring Rising Star Maya Hawke

Hawke in "Little Women"

Gia Coppola has booked her next gig. She’ll follow up her 2013 directorial debut “Palo Alto” with “Mainstream,” Variety reports. Described as an “eccentric love triangle and a cautionary tale of preserving your identity within the fast-moving internet age,” the film will star Andrew Garfield, Maya Hawke, Nat Wolff, and Jason Schwartzman.

Hawke, the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, earned raves for her on-screen debut in “Little Women,” PBS’ miniseries adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel. She played Jo March. The actress has since signed on for a recurring role in “Stranger Things'” upcoming third season. Hawke will also have a role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” set against the backdrop of the Charles Manson murders of 1969.

Coppola co-wrote the script for “Mainstream,” which is scheduled to begin filming later this year. She launched her career in photography. Her first feature, coming-of-age ensemble drama “Palo Alto,” starred Emma Roberts, James Franco, and Wolff, among others.

Sofia Coppola is the writer-director’s aunt. “Being a woman I don’t think I would have considered doing filmmaking and photography if I hadn’t seen her doing it,” she’s said of the “Beguiling” helmer. “[Sofia] stayed true to who she was and it made me think I could do it in a way that was true to me and not have to pretend I was this big, strong male director.” You can check out Coppola’s tips for aspiring directors at Dazed.
