Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Megalopolis’ Gets Global Screen Commitment From Imax


Imax has committed screens around the world to show Francis Ford Coppola's magnum opus 'Megalopolis.'

Imax has committed screens around the world to show Francis Ford Coppola ‘s magnum opus “ Megalopolis,” the company’s CEO Richard Gelfond confirmed at a Cannes Film Festival event on Thursday. The run-up to the premiere of Francis Ford Coppola’s self-financed epic at Cannes on Friday has been filled with anticipation and controversy, partly because “Megalopolis” has yet to secure a U.S. distributor — though a global release with Imax may help sweeten the pot. The sci-fi drama also stars Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Jason Schwartzman, Talia Shire, Grace VanderWaal, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter, Dustin Hoffman, Chloe Fineman, Madeleine Gardella, Balthazar Getty, Bailey Ives, Isabelle Kusman, James Remar and D. B. Sweeney.
