Francis Ford Coppola Didn’t Want ‘Megalopolis’ To Be “Some Woke Hollywood Production,” Casting “Canceled” Actors
Francis Ford Coppola said he didn't want 'Megalopolis' to be 'some woke Hollywood production,' casting 'canceled' actors in the movie.
The $120 million film stars Adam Driver as an ambitious, future-facing architect Cesar Catilina who aims to turn a glittering city into a utopia, with the help of his inventive new material called megalon and a cast of less-than-morally-upright characters. LaBeouf is currently facing a lawsuit filed by former girlfriend and singer-songwriter FKA Twigs(née Tahliah Debrett Barnett) over allegations of physical and sexual abuse, with the musician previously stating that her relationship with the actor was the “worst thing I’ve ever been through in the whole of my life,” claiming that he kept a loaded firearm by their bed and made her watch documentaries of murdered women. “One of the things I might say about our wonderful cast is that they reflect all sorts of political ideas,” the Oscar-winner said at a press conference following the Cannes premiere, singling out Voight, who replied that the director’s goal is to “make a better world.”
