What exactly is Francis Ford Coppola cooking up? His upcoming “Megalopolis, rumored to premiere at Cannes 2024, is the latest film to land an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA.
The film finished production earlier this year so it’s kind of strange that he would need any kind of agreement to be used. Deadline’s as dumbfounded as I am, adding ..
Maybe Coppola needed a waiver one in order to be sold on one of the markets or potentially screen an upcoming festival and in need of one for publicity.
I don’t think Coppola would pass up the chance of World Premiering “Megalopolis” at Cannes. I bet he’s trying to now shop it around, but does he even need a SAG waiver to do that? Reshoots are another possibility …
Whatever the case may be, “Megalopolis” wrapped production in March and is being edited, or was just a few weeks ago when Spike Lee posted that Coppola had shown him 30 minutes of the film. I’ll update this post if any other details pop up.
