The Big Picture Decades after first conceiving of the idea for his passion project, legendary director Francis Ford Coppola has finally revealed the first footage from the star-studded Megalopolis. Coppola first began working on the script for his epic back in the 1980s, before putting it on the backburner when it became clear no one would fund the ambitious project. Now, at 84 years old, Coppola isn't waiting on anyone else to make his dream a reality, self-financing the film.
"Megalopolis has always been a film dedicated to my dear wife Eleanor. I really had hoped to celebrate her birthday together this May 4th. But sadly that was not to be, so let me share with everyone a gift on her behalf." A Troubled Production? The story of Megalopolis draws inspiration from the second Catiline Conspiracy, where Roman senator Lucius Sergius Catilina conspired with disgruntled aristocrats to overthrow Marcus Tullius Cicero, a conflict they would eventually lose. In Megalopolis, this takes the form of an "epic story of political ambition, genius, and dangerous love.
