Cannes Cover Story: Aubrey Plaza Says Francis Coppola “Doesn’t Need My Defense”, Reveals The “Collaboration And Experimentation” Of ‘Megalopolis’
When Aubrey Plaza first got the call about her role in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, she’d literally just been at a Godfather gift shop.
After a disaster destroys the city, Caesar pushes for a rebuild with innovative, renewable materials, aiming for a utopia that will free the underclasses, while his enemy Cicero prefers to go with the traditional concrete, corruption, and class system. Framed in the window behind us, the sun glints off the Empire State Building — a fittingly cinematic setting in which to discuss Coppola’s Manhattan-esque film, his first mainstream feature offering since 2011, and one that’s been the talk of the industry in the build-up to its Cannes premiere. When she hosted the Independent Spirit Awards for the first time in 2019, Waters gamely jumped in on her opening monologue, and now she’s cast as the lead in his upcoming film Liarmouth, based on his first novel, which is described as a ‘feel-bad romance’.
