Utopia Acquires ‘Megadoc’ On Making Of Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Megalopolis’
A 'Megalopolis' making-of doc titled 'Megadoc' has been acquired by Utopia for release in North America.
The making-of project emerged from a chance encounter, sparked by an email between two old friends, with Coppola inviting Figgis to the Megalopolis set in the lead-up to the first day of principal photography and granting him permission to document whatever he wished. Armed with a small camera and crew throughout the entire shoot, Figgis’s unrestricted access to the production gave way to Megadoc, a unique look into the creative process of one of the most revered directors of all time, and behind the curtain of the most ambitious film of his career. Robert Schwartzman of Utopia added, “Eleanor Coppola’s iconic feature documentary, HEARTS OF DARKNESS, gave audiences an incredible look and access to the making of APOCALYPSE NOW; a film that, in time, became highly regarded as one of the finest cinematic experiences of the era and beyond.
