The highly-anticipated new movie is still searching for a distributor.
Megalopolis , the mysterious new film from legendary director Francis Ford Coppola , has just landed a major honor. On Tuesday, reports indicated that Megalopolis is confirmed to be premiering and competing at the Cannes Film Festival , with the film locked in for the evening slot on Friday, May 17th.
What Is Megalopolis About?The plot of Megalopolis largely remains under wraps, but the film is reportedly set in an alternate reality version of New York City dubbed"New Rome." In the film, the fate of Rome haunts a modern world unable to solve its own social problems in this epic story of political ambition, genius and conflicted love. Coppola has been wanting to make Megalopolis a reality since 1979, after initially conceiving of the idea during the filming of Apocalypse Now.
"I would be smiling in my grave if I thought something like that happened, because people talk about what movies really mean if you give them something," Coppola continued."If you encouraged people to discuss marriage and education and health and justice and opportunities and freedom and all these wonderful things that human beings have conceived of. And ask the question, how can we make it even better? That would be great.
