More about Megalpolis

In this sci-fi drama, Adam plays the role of Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who wants to build an idealistic city.&nbsp;

As per the movie's description, “Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Nathalie Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.”

Megalopolis: Teaser, cast, synopsis and everything to know about Francis Ford Coppola’s film

There’s a lot of chatter on Francis Ford Coppola’s upcoming film Megalopolis as makers dropped the first look, which looks anything but average.&nbsp;

He revealed in a Vanity Fair interview that he wrote the script around 300 times before self-financing the passion project for $120 million. He sold a part of his winery estate in Northern California.&nbsp;

<h2>Cast and Plot of&nbsp;Megalopolis</h2>

The film stars Adam Driver and Nathalie Emmanuel in leading roles. The first look from the film has debuted as the lead stars look busy watching something.&nbsp;

Francis Ford Coppola’s film is inspired by HG&nbsp;Wells’s Things to Come. The film is set in a New York City-like metropolis in the aftermath of catastrophic destruction. Adam Driver plays an idealistic architect who wants to rebuild the city into something greater than what it was. Giancarlo Esposito is the city’s corrupt mayor hellbent on keeping things the way they were.

Caught in between the two is the socialist daughter of the mayor who becomes romantically drawn to Adam Driver’s architect. The supporting cast includes Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire and Jason Schwartzman.

<h2>What Francis Ford Coppola has to say on the film</h2>

Speaking to Variety, Francis Ford Coppola said, “I wasn’t really working on this screenplay for 40 years as I often see written, but rather I was collecting notes and clippings for a scrapbook of things I found interesting for some future screenplay, or examples of political cartoons or different historical subjects.”

He added, “Ultimately, after a lot of time, I settled on the idea of a Roman epic. And then later, a Roman epic set in modern America, so I really only began writing this script, on and off, in the last dozen years or so. Also, as I have made many films of many different subjects and in many different styles, I hoped for a project later in life when I might better understand what my personal style was.”

Megalopolis wrapped production last year. The film is set for a world premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival which will begin in May.&nbsp;
