Alden Ehrenreich's Coppola Audition

NYMag published an exerpt from a conversation with Alden Ehrenreich about his role in Ford Coppola’s new film, Teatro. What was the Coppola audition like?
It was the craziest. He first had me read from Catcher in the Rye, the part where Holden is talking about his brother Allie, who died, and about how he was such a great kid and wrote poems on his baseball mitt. Then he started asking me questions, sort of filming me on this little camera. That was just the beginning of a six-month process. I went to Napa, to his vineyard. We got to go out and shoot a scene in Diane Lane’s car from The Outsiders, and it was so cool! Then I went to Argentina for another audition.
