Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Francis Ford Coppola’s new science fiction epic Megalopolis looks like George Lucas’ long-time friend and former producing partner has finally made his own Star Wars movie. Megalopolis is Coppola’s first film since 2011’s Twixt. It’s a passion project that he’s been dreaming about since the 1970s, and after putting up $120 million of his own money, the Apocalypse Now director has finally made this ambitious project a reality.
Despite their close friendship, Coppola wasn’t a huge supporter of Star Wars. In fact, Spielberg was the only one of Lucas’ friends who saw Star Wars’ potential. Coppola deemed Lucas’ weird little space movie to be a waste of his time, and encouraged him to make a film with more mainstream appeal . Still, as a close collaborator of Lucas’, Coppola provided Lucas with plenty of his own notes and advice while he was making his initial Star Wars movies.
Megalopolis will compete for the Palme d’Or at Cannes, where it’s set to have its premiere on May 16. Megalopolis Already Sounds As Divisive As The Star Wars Prequels The Star Wars prequel trilogy was notable for its polarized response, with extremely mixed reactions from both critics and fans. Some say the prequels ruined the franchise; others say they’re misunderstood masterpieces. Based on the early reactions to Megalopolis, it’s looking like Coppola’s big-budget epic will be just as divisive as Lucas’.
