Francis Ford Coppola Reveals the Real Message Behind 'Megalopolis'

Without question, Francis Ford Coppola is on Mt. Rushmore of living American filmmaking legends. His work in the 1970s is arguably the hottest streak of films for any director in cinematic history. Winner of 14 Academy Awards (with 55 nominations!), two-time Palme dOr winner at Cannes, and a litany of honors from festivals all around the world. Coppola has been teasing us for years now with his urban fantasy satire, Megalopolis. Due to the events of September 11, 2001, production collapsed, and the film was shelved. Now 23 years later, Coppola has finally chosen to share Megalopolis with audiences thirsty for a fresh moviegoing experience and primed for an exceptionally rare story.
