Francis Ford Coppola Shares First Look at New Film Megalopolis

Featuring an all-star cast, Megalopolis follows an architect who wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster.

Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Nathalie Emmanuel, Kathryn Hunter, Dustin Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, Giancarlo Esposito, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Chloe Fineman and James Remar join the ensemble cast.

Megalopolis wrapped in March 2023, and while there is currently no official release date, Coppola told The Accutron Show, "It's only going to be a few months and it'll be out". This has people speculating about a Cannes premiere.

The five-time Oscar winner is using $120 million of his own money to fund his passion project that he first began writing in the '80s. It will be his first film in almost eight years.

The Hollywood Reporter shared that Coppola said, "There's a certain way everyone thinks a film should be, and it rubs against the grain if you have another idea. People can be very unaccepting, but sometimes the other idea represents what's coming in the future. That is worthy of being considered."
