Experts say 1 in 4 people will fall victim to travel scams this summer. Here’s how to prevent that Entertainment Director Francis Ford Coppola poses for portrait photographs for the film 'Megalopolis', at the 77th international film festival, Cannes, southern France, Friday, May 17, 2024. idea-stuffed, open-hearted, unabashedly optimistic “Megalopolis,” one that particularly resonates with the director is: “When we leap into the unknown, we prove that we’re free.”.
In “Megalopolis,” Adam Driver plays Cesar Catilina, a Roman emperor-like figure with the power to stop time in a futuristic New York. He’s an inventor who wants to build a new New York metropolis with a material he’s created called Megalon. In sensibility, he’s more like an artist, though. Cesar quotes “Hamlet,” as well as Emerson, Marcus Aurelius and Ovid. He is, you can't help but notice, a little like Coppola, himself.
“During that time, my thought was that I had used many styles, ‘Apocalypse’ was a wild style, ‘The Godfather’ was very classic — I wondered what my style might be in the future,” Coppola says. “I had curiosity for what kind of film I might make when I was older. I kept a scrap book of things I read. I made a collection of political cartoons. Those say a whole story in one image. That ultimately led to make a Roman epic set in modern America.
“For him to make a film like that at this point in his life I thought was a beautiful thing,” Driver says. “He has conviction and it’s so ballsy. Why is it that he’s doing that at this point in his career and other people aren’t following that example?” When Coppola and Driver first met to discuss the film several years ago, “We talked a lot about babies," Driver says."That they’re constantly at work doing complex things even though it looks like they’re doing nothing.”
