That Screen Daily report from yesterday implying that Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” might “not be ready” for Cannes … I’m about to pour some cold water on it.
Here’s something that was sent by a filmmaker invited to a private screening of Coppola’s upcoming epic, taking place next week. No mention of it being a “work in progress.” The film’s been in post production since March 2023, it’s time to unveil it.
There’s a lot riding on this film, and I hope Coppola has hit it out of the ballpark. Intel suggests that a fall 2024 release, in IMAX, is being eyed for the film. This latest development of a private screening surely leads us to believe it might now be headed to Cannes where it will hopefully be vying for the Palme d’Or.
