Science FictionDramaFantasy

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola

In a futuristic New York known as New Rome, visionary architect Cesar Catilina dreams of building "Megalopolis," a utopian city that redefines society’s limits.

    Megalopolis is an incredibly bad film I will never stop thinking about and believe everyone should see. Somehow simultaneously hates the poor and lionizes them. If you told me Francis Ford Coppola had only met one woman one time and had a very bad time, I would believe you.

    This is now my sixth time seeing Megalopolis and it will never not be funny just how deeply misogynistic this movie is, like the type of misogynistic that makes you immediately suspicious of everything Francis Ford Coppola has done in life even if you didn’t know about his controversies

    The new documentary “Megadoc” goes behind the scenes of the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.” The film is “a fascinating, inspiring view of a filmmaker whose methods are as boldly original as his movie,” @tnyfrontrow.bsky.social writes.

    A troubled recording, a long production odyssey guided by the belief that it was worth the effort, a star-studded cast—if there is such a thing as the Megalopolis Of Hallmark Podcast Episodes, this is it. (The movie is fine, the episode is quite good.)

    Maybe you saw that trailer yesterday for “Megalopolis” that quotes negative reviews of Coppola’s past films. Now Lionsgate admits that the quotes were made up. Any ideas what sort of tool someone might have used to generate fake quotes in lieu of doing real research? variety.com/2024/film/ne...

    (LONG thread Incoming) Man, where do I start... Well, production for Megalopolis all started in 1977, when Coppola had the idea to make a film drawing parallels between the fall of the Roman Republic and the future of the United States by retelling the Catilinarian conspiracy in modern New York.

    Disillusioned by the studio system, Coppola did not produce Megalopolis until he built a large fortune in the winemaking business. He spent $120 million of his own money to make the film. Principal photography took place in Georgia from November 2022 to March 2023.

    Sinners, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Lord of the Rings trilogy (saw it in theaters last year, it counts). I also really enjoyed Megalopolis but understand it's not a perfect film, kinda gonzo. If you like Cthulhu type stuff then Nic Cage starred in an adaptation of Lovecraft's "Colors out of space" that my wife and I both really enjoyed. A lot of people missed the 2008 adaptation of Speedracer done by the Wachowski sisters (same people who did the Matrix) which is a real shame…

    This line from the article really sums it up: > He also supposedly plans for a "director’s cut" – sorry, then what was it we watched last fall, exactly? Someone else's cut – called Megalopolis Unbound: longer, weirder, maybe some dream sequences. (Was the whole movie not his own dream sequence?) In all seriousness, the "director's cut" is mostly used nowadays as a marketing term, it seems.
