The story revolves around a showgirl in her fifties dealing with her beloved Vegas act unexpectedly concluding its 30-year run, per the outlet.
To add a twist, her journey as a mom kicks into gear, aiming to patch up a rocky relationship with her daughter.
‘Dream project, dream cast,’ Schwartzman told the outlet.
‘We couldn’t be more honored and appreciative of the chance to tell an authentic Las Vegas story that pays homage to the iconic Showgirl, told through Gia’s unique sense of style and visual storytelling.’
With Gia in the driver’s seat, the star-studded film will be one to watch as she is part of the Coppola Hollywood dynasty.
The famous family boasts several Oscar winners, like patriarch Francis Ford Coppola, his daughter Sofia Coppola and his nephew Nicolas Cage.
Francis is also the brother of Rocky actress Talia Shire, and the father of three children: Gian-Carlo, Roman and Sofia Coppola.
In 1986, the passing of Gian-Carlo left his fiancée, Jacqui Getty, expecting their daughter. On January 1, 1987, Gian-Carla ‘Gia’ Coppola came into the world.
