Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola has detailed what his next movie will be following the 2024 release of Megalopolis.
Speaking with The Washington Post, Coppola revealed that he’s planning on moving to London soon to begin work on his next project, Glimpses of the Moon. While not much is known about the project, Coppola calls it a “30s-style strange musical.” The movie will be based on the 1922 Edith Wharton novel of the same name.
While it’s unknown exactly how much the movie will stick to the book, the novel explores various concepts including marriage in the United States, and was first published in 1922. The book actually was adapted into a silent film of the same name in 1923. However, it is a lost film, meaning the film’s original negative or copies have gone missing or been destroyed.
Coppola also noted that he would like to make a movie based titled Distant Vision, based on Thomas Mann’s 1901 novel Buddenbrooks, which follows three generations of an Italian family and centers around the invention of the television. The director didn’t provide any update on that project, however. After years of development and work, Coppola finally released his long-awaited film Megalopolis in 2024. That film was set in an alternate, 21st-century New York City, and followed the story of a visionary architect who clashed with a corrupt state government as he tried to turn the city into a new utopia. The film starred Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman, among others.
