More than 20 years in the making, Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis has set its star cast. Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones and Fast X), Jon Voight and Laurence Fishburne have been set for the main roles.

Coppola is directing the independently-financed film from his own script. Here's how he is describing the contemporary drama: The fate of Rome haunts a modern world unable to solve its own social problems in this epic story of political ambition, genius, and conflicting interests. The budget will be just under $100 million, and production begins this fall.

Deadline has written often about Coppola's final dream project, a struggle to create a utopia after an accident leaves a New York-like city in need of a rebuild. Coppola has won five Oscars for his work, and he believes that the films of his that stand up best over time, are the ones that seemed riskiest when he made them. This one he puts closest to Apocalypse Now, a film many believed would ruin him as he was making it. Coppola wound up owning it because nobody else would give him the money, and it has poured off a fortune over the years. The 83-year old filmmaker and wine entrepreneur has lofty aspirations for Megalopolis, but his goal is not profits or accolades, but rather something he can leave behind for future generations that reflect his optimism for the potential mankind has, even as social media, polarized politics and many other things have some fearing a kind of fall of the Roman Empire. He sold a piece of his wine empire to make it possible to get the credit line to do this.

I can't believe he's actually making this. I thought he would never get funding, but didn't count on him selling off his wine company to do it.

The odds are still against it being any good: his last good movie was 40 years ago.

Probably December, because Saturnalia is a theme and event in the movie.
The French distributor has a late September date.

It's so pretentious wtf. This looks like one of those movies that are just "too much". You know those movies. The movies that are just way too much. The overly elaborate set pieces and costumes and everyone taking it way too seriously. Too much man.

 

[Grinchy]

Yeah the trailer didn't exactly sell it to me very hard, but if people are saying it's good I'll still wanna give it a shot.

I loved movies like this when I was 20. I'm not sure if I love them now.

But I'm intrigued and want to give it a shot.
