On September 26th Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” finally hits the cinema. It’s only been over 47 years.

“My great fear is that one of the best ways to make a film is a film that contains a theme, and that mache is gerade. (…) I see the sage from the deep voice hearten, the film is not good.” Who feels like director Francis Ford Coppola (85) with that einschätzung, but nevertheless, is still working on his späteres Meisterwerk “Apocalypse Now”.

The 90s-year-long Doku “Reise ins Herz der Finsternis” about the Threat of the War Dramas from 1979 will probably be a part of the sea life a very demoralizing, by Selbstzweifel plagued Directors. In the report with the Mammut project “Megalopolis”, on September 26, in the Kinos-kommt, the Lage Kaum could not be viewed anymore; here is one of the best results with optimism and the tag. And that while his Opus Magnum on a fast 50 year long Entstehungsgeschichte zurückblickt…

Altes Rom versus Zukunftsvision – darum geht es

First war New Rome the name of the world, the center of power. But corruption and vulture have hollowed out the metropolis and the tooth of the time is destroying a colossal building. One of the greatest forces for the new Rome is: Cäsar Catilina (Adam Driver, 40), Nobel Prize winner and brilliant inventor of the magic substance Megalo, who has a vision of who can climb the mountain.

The power is when mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito, 66) with a power game, a power component of alt Elite camps, and also when the Schicksal besieges the city. Both men are in love with the beautiful Julia (Nathalie Emmanuel, 35) – Tochter des Bürgermeisters en Geliebte des Erfinders.

The great brain project of film history

If the fall of Rom is in a Sci-Fi setting in a package, Coppola will remain unglazed for 47 years. In the year 1977 was the first idea that this idea was spoken, the end of the 80s was such that a new thought could arise. On September 11, 2001, the Corona pandemic was put on the agenda. Der Startschuss der Dreharbeiten will be released in the year 2022.

“Megalopolis” als Herzensangelegenheit von Coppola zu bezeichnet, grenzt an Untertreibung. If the film is financed, 120 million US dollars will have been invested. From 2021, part of the Weinguts will be sold in Kalifornien.

It was going so well last time

After the filming of “Megalopolis” it’s more like the horror stories play out. A noisy filmmaker, chaotic stand-ins on the set, changes in the last seconds: The only one who apparently didn’t want to be in the box office, which Coppola himself did. I know I have an interview with “Deadline”: “I would have a cast, I would say I would get a tag. And on the inside of the schedules and the budgets, I was the most important.”

It’s true: If the police can talk to Coppola about wire fencing, it’s not the first time “Apocalypse Now” has been used. Even his 1972 gangster classic “Der Pate” came out on top of him on Messers Schneide, as the filmmaker himself knew: “I didn’t come with ‘Der Pate’ at all (producer, Anm. d. Ed.) Bob Evans clearly. There is a lot of war going on with the war that has seen three of the four serious events, the Oscar for ‘Patton’ will not be won, but 100 percent will be won.”

If your own financial situation in “Megalopolis” occurs, it is not possible to start your own business. These films take longer than others, but women can not become bigger: a flop of the film will bring huge financing to the director if he sees.
