“Every movie I make involves passion,” writer and director Francis Ford Coppola says. “The Godfather is very classical. Apocalypse Now is very wild.” His latest, Megalopolis, is a Roman epic – set in New Rome, a futuristic New York City.
The all-star cast features Adam Driver as an architect named Cesar Catilina who envisions a utopia. He’s pitted against Franklyn Cicero, played by Giancarlo Esposito, who seems content to keep the status quo as the mayor of “New Rome.”
the visual effects crew was fired and the art department quit. Earlier this year,posted videos reportedly of the party scene. And one of the extras, Lauren Pagone, filed a lawsuit against the director for civil battery and assault. She also alleges negligence by Coppola, his production company Zoetrope and two casting agencies.owner Penske Media Corporation told NPR in a statement, “While we will not comment on active litigation, we stand by our reporters.
del Barco: I know you're asking the audiences to have this conversation about these ideas of what a utopia would look like.I mean, this could be a very long conversation. It could be a very short conversation.
Oh, that's a different matter. That's like when you're making a movie that's not like any movie that's ever been made before, you run into occasionally conflict with people who want to make it the regular way, you know, and want to do things the way they're used to doing things. And, you know, my feeling is – I like a movie of mine, I like it to feel a little handmade, like the special effects are not just…like every movie’s special effects.
