Schwartzman – the younger brother of Jason and cousin of Sofia Coppola – is a Zombies fanatic. “I really gravitate towards well-crafted songs and every song by The Zombies is just so insanely awesome that it’s hard not to fall for every little bit of their music,” Schwartzman said at the film’s premiere at South By Southwest in 2023.
