To surprise of absolutely nobody, Francis Ford Coppola's new film, "Megalopolis" is mired in production difficulties and reportedly well behind schedule and over-budget.
The movie, currently halfway through shooting in Atlanta, has in the last week lost key creative talent including its production designer and supervising art director. That’s on top of losing the entire visual effects team in the first part of December.
The film itself has a reported $120m production budget and is largely self-financed by Coppola himself
In March 2022, Coppola told The Hollywood Reporter he was putting his own money into the film, which has no distributor, in order to make it his way.
Coppola is well known for overseeing extremely messy productions. Apocalypse Now is probably my favourite movie of all time. The Godfather 1 & 2 and The Conversation are all time great films. I have always loved Dracula as well.
I hope that he pulls off one last masterpiece. I also hope that there is a crew doing a "making of" documentary because that could be pretty entertaining.
