Trending

Francis Ford Coppola first thought of Megalopolis in 1977 but took a break from filmmaking after some unsuccessful releases. Finally in 2019, he decided to come back with this humongous project and even financed it himself. The movie was marred by tragedy as controversies and experiments hit the production, and last-minute improvisations were added to the script. The movie, which revolves around an architect’s rebuilding of Rome, was released in 2024 after almost 47 years since its conception.
