Francis Ford Coppola Didn’t Want ‘Megalopolis’ to Be ‘Some Woke Hollywood Production’ and Says the Cast Includes ‘People Who Were Canceled’


Francis Ford Coppola did not want "Megalopolis" to be a "woke Hollywood production" and cast canceled actors in supporting roles.

“Megalopolis” stars Adam Driver as an architect with dreams of building a utopian city after a catastrophic incident leaves a New York City-like metropolis in ruins. Reports of Coppola’s alleged misconduct on the set surfaced around the same time, including claims that he kissed extras during the filming of a party scene. An additional controversy erupted this month when Lionsgate debuted the trailer for “Megalopolis” and then had to pull it offline because it featured made-up quotes from movie critics.
