The self-funded passion project might be a tougher sell than the legendary director expected: “There is just no way to position this movie.”
In late March, Coppola’s Megalopolis had its first major screening for Hollywood bigwigs like NBC Universal chief content officer Donna Langley, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, and Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman, as well as Coppola-adjacent stars like Al Pacino and Nicolas Cage. The reaction was, well, muted, to say the least: One source told The Hollywood Reporter there was “a conspicuous silence at the end” of the film, which runs 2 hours 15 minutes.
Megalopolis also reportedly features Shia LaBeouf, who was present at the March 28 screening, as well as Aubrey Plaza, Jason Schwartzman, and Kathryn Hunter. Coppola began writing Megalopolis almost 40 years ago, in 1983. The 85-year old director took it upon himself to fund the passion project, said to cost $120 million, and reportedly used a significant portion of the profits from the sale of his wine empire to fund it. According to THR, Coppola is interested in an Imax release.
