Between them is Julia Cicero, with her loyalties torn between her father and her lover

Story

The city of New Rome is faced with the duel between Caesar Catiline, a brilliant artist who is an advocate of a utopian future, and greedy mayor Franklyn Cicero. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script in the early 1980s, but the film was put on the back burner partly due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001 after shooting 30 hours of second unit footage and holding a table read with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco and Kevin Spacey, but the project was scrapped after the 9/11 attacks, because a scene in the script (page 166) «predicted» the attacks.

Coppola completely abandoned the project in 2007 and did not begin developing it again until 2019. There are many moments throughout the film where hand movements jump between cuts. The “Ultimate IMAX Experience” version of the film features a live actor asking questions during the filmed press conference.

I desperately wanted to be part of the minority who enjoyed Megalopolis

Referenced in The John Campea Show: Adam Driver to Lead Francis Ford Coppola’s New Film Megalopolis (2022). My Promise Written by Grace VanderWaal Performed by Grace VanderWaal Courtesy of Columbia Records By arrangement with Sony Music Entertainment Produced and orchestrated by Kris Kukul. What an abhorrent nightmare, though; or perhaps a fever dream would be more accurate.

The problem is the execution of those ideas and the dialogue that connects them

There’s no doubt that the set of ideas that make up Francis Ford Coppola’s “masterpiece” is incredibly unique and interesting. I’m obsessed with the idea of ​​New Rome and all those quasi-Roman characters plotting against each other like in a Shakespearean Game of Thrones. But hearing Adam Driver quote Hamlet and then immediately say “in the club” and Jon Voight say “boner” is just inexcusable.

The amount of talent that was wasted on what has to be one of the most beautiful and visually stunning sets is disrespectfully confusing

I more or less understand the plot of Megalopolis, but I can’t even begin to fathom why a character does what he says or does. All that said, I’ll probably force myself to suffer through an extra viewing of Megalopolis, just to be sure that the experience was thoroughly exhausting.
