Francis Ford Coppola's dream project "Megalopolis" is barely halfway through and the recording is so chaotic that it may have to be stopped. It oozes "Apocalypse Now" a long way in terms of production.
In a short time, Coppola's upcoming sci-fi "Megalopolis" has lost a lot of key people and several employees have reportedly been fired. Among other things, an art director and the entire special effects team have fled. In addition, the budget is said to be beyond all control.
 
- It was total madness to be on the set, points out a source to The Hollywood Reporter.
 
The dream project has thus turned into a nightmare! The shoot, which is underway in Atlanta, was scheduled for 90 days of work but now things look dark for the entire production, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
 
"Megalopolis" is perhaps the legendary "Godfather" director's most ambitious film to date. With a budget of more than 120 million dollars, also from his own private pocket, "Megalopolis" is his big dream project that he wanted to implement for 30 years. A dream that now does not seem to be coming true.
 
In the cast we have (or maybe had...) big names like Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel and Laurence Fishburne.
