Standing disillusioned in an empty hotel room, Bill Murray has dug out his Lost in Translation vibes in the the Netflix teaser for A Very Murray Christmas.
Directed by Sofia Coppola, the new trailer introduces Bill as a nervous host who is worried his guests won’t turn up to his Christmas party due to a snowstorm. Although Netflix assures us he’ll be okay, “Through luck and perseverance, guests arrive at the Carlyle hotel to help him; dancing and singing in holiday spirit.”
It’s worth noting the caliber of the guests he’s expecting: George Clooney, Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, Rashida Jones, Jason Schwartzman, Maya Rudolph, Michael Cera, and Paul Shaffer all appear. Even Miley Cyrus makes it through the snow.
No doubt it’s going to be the director’s usual mix of perfectly scored (oh yeah Phoenix is there too) whimsy. But who are they kidding, as if anyone would ever miss a Bill Murray party.
‘A Very Murray Christmas’ hits Netflix on December 4.
