Colin Farrell Held Hostage by Southern Belles in Sofia Coppola’s ‘Beguiled’ Remake (Video)

“The Beguiled” is set in a Confederate girls’ boarding school during the American Civil War, where things are turned upside down by the arrival of a wounded Union soldier, John McBurney (Colin Farrell, taking over for Eastwood).

Kirsten Dunst plays Edwina Dabney, a school teacher.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Coppola explained her approach to the period drama: I haven’t really done a genre film.
