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.

Legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola recently addressed accusations of misconduct on the set of his highly anticipated project Megalopolis. Known for his iconic films such as The Godfather series and Apocalypse Now, Coppola has long been a celebrated figure in the industry. However, with the arrival of his new venture, rumors and allegations began to circulate regarding his behavior on set.

In a candid statement, Coppola responded to the accusations, saying, “I’m not sentimental. I’ve always believed in pushing boundaries and creating an environment where artists can freely explore their craft. If that means being tough at times, so be it. I’m not here to coddle anyone; we’re here to make something great.”

The filmmaker went on to emphasize that Megalopolis, which has been in development for years, is a deeply personal project for him. As the production continues, the pressure and intensity have only increased, making it a challenging yet deeply rewarding experience for everyone involved.

Coppola also expressed his belief in the importance of artistic vision, stating that he has always demanded excellence from his cast and crew. However, he stressed that there is a fine line between intensity and misconduct, and he maintained that he operates with the utmost respect for his team.

The response has been met with mixed reactions from the public, with some defending the director’s artistic integrity, while others call for greater accountability on set.
