Twenty years in the making and finally, Francis Ford Coppola is ready to start production on what has been called his “dream project.” Megalopolis, a Roman epic set in modern times, written by Coppola himself, has been in the works for decades. Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr. said he saw early footage of the movie back in 2001, but 9/11 then derailed the project. Eventually, Coppola decided he was going to take matters into his own hands, selling off a stake of his wine empire to self-finance the film, which has a budget of around $100 million. So, it’s safe to say that there’s a lot riding on Megalopolis, and with production starting this fall, more information on the highly-anticipated project will likely continue to emerge. For now, here’s everything you need to know about Coppola’s latest film.
