Megalopolis: excellent news for Francis Ford Coppola’s great film



The return of a king

While his colleagues and friends Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg make a series of films, Francis Ford Coppola has been very low-key since the early 2000s, with only three directorial attempts: The ageless man (2007), Gloomy (2009) e Twix (2011). Three films that had limited releases and, despite critical success Gloomy AND Twixit remained an anecdotal, not to say confidential, status.

But Francis Ford Coppola’s next film, Megalopolisa 40+ year project that the director put together with difficulty, it should be an important event and bring the director of the trilogy back to his prestigious position The Godfather and’Apocalypse now.

Only a few months left to wait

Guest at the microphone of the podcast The Accutron show, for an episode that aired on January 2, Francis Ford Coppola shared some great news. If we already knew that the film would be released in 2024, the director actually specified when.

All I can say is that I love the actors who appear in my film. It’s unusual and you never get bored. Otherwise “wait and see”. A few more months and we’ll see.

When you are of the caliber of Francis Ford Coppola, legendary award-winning filmmaker two Palme d’Orin 1974 for Secret conversation and in 1979 for Apocalypse nowannouncing at the beginning of January the presentation of his film “in a few months” means giving weight to the hypothesis that Megalopolis could be selected a Cannes Film Festival 2024which will be held in May.

Little is known Megalopolisexcept it’s an epic science fiction drama, in which a woman is torn between her loyalty to her father, a conservative man, and her loyalty to her lover, a progressive architect who wants to rebuild a utopian New York after a devastating disaster. We also know her cast, which is truly impressive as it includes Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Laurence Fishburne and Shia LaBeouf, Aubrey Plaza, Jon Voight and Giancarlo Esposito, Talia Shire, Forest Whitaker, Jason Schwartzman and Dustin Hoffman.
