“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.”
“It’s very hard for people to understand why or how an artist could spend so much money on creativity,” Wasson told NPR. “That has made him a maligned Quixote figure in the press.” As Coppola told NPR, he has “no intention of litigating this in the media.” In an interview this week, he shared his hopes for Hollywood – and for humanity.. I know it's been your passion project for decades. What do you want audiences to take away from this conversation?Well, first of all, there are a lot of phrases in the movie business. They always want to attach phrases. You referred to it as my passion project. Every movie I make involves passion. All movies are passion projects.
del Barco: Absolutely. And you don't always see something like that – on the … grand scale of humanity. Another thing that was extraordinary to me in this film was that amazing interactive moment – with somebody in real life in the theater and the character on screen. I was wondering if you could talk about that idea of live cinema.: Well, of course, that's something I've always been interested in.
