With Francis Ford Coppola, it’s go big or go home.
How many times has he bet the house on a hugely expensive movie?
He’s done it again with “Megalopolis,” premiering on Thursday in Cannes. The first official teaser trailer offers astonishing images and real excitement.
Adam Driver and Giancarlo Esposito lead an all star cast. Coppola has financed the movie itself, kicking in $100 million of his own money. It’s futuristic and philosophical and will nou doubt be the film everyone talks about in 2024.
Coppola says on Instagram: “Our new film MEGALOPOLIS is the best work I’ve ever had the privilege to preside over.” And he made “The Godfather” trilogy, “Apocalypse Now,” and several other classics.
Play this a couple of times. The trailer is dense with information.
