On the Megalopolis set, Francis Ford Coppola responds to accusations of misconduct: “I’m not sentimental.”
Megalopolis, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, was one of the most talked-about films at this year’s 77th Cannes Film Festival. The Guardian released an article before of the film’s debut that went into detail about the director’s purported misbehaviour on production as reported by staff members. Coppola has now discussed these claims in a new interview and vehemently refuted them.
Coppola’s remarks
When Coppola was questioned about the accusations during the interview, he mentioned his mother Italia and remarked, “She looked like Hedy Lamarr.” I own the photo. I didn’t insult the girls I had crushes on, despite my mother’s advice that making an approach towards a lady indicates you disrespect her. I’m not sentimental. I’m too timid.
Following the publication of the Guardian article, Megalopolis executive producer Darren Demetre made the following statement: “I was never aware of any complaints of harassment or ill behaviour during the course of the project.”
Concerning Megalopolis
Megalopolis, which has been in development for a long time, is described as the director’s passion project. The movie, which is self-financed, supposedly has a $120 million budget. Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Giancarlo Esposito, Shia LaBeouf, Aubrey Plaza, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, and Jason Schwartzman are among the film’s star-studded ensemble. Despite receiving a seven-minute standing ovation from the Cannes crowd upon its debut, the picture was met with mixed reviews upon its release.
The movie centres on an architect named Caesar, played by actor Adam Driver, who plans to reconstruct New York City as an idealised city after a catastrophe. The setting is a future metropolis reminiscent of the Roman Empire. Coppola’s first picture in ten years is Megalopolis, following the 2011 horror picture Twixt.
