Coppola completely abandoned the project in 2007, and didn't begin developing it again until 2019
Line of Events
The city of New Rome faces the duel between Cesar Catilina, a brilliant artist in favor of an Utopian future, and the greedy mayor Franklyn Cicero. Between them is Julia Cicero, with her loyalty divided between her father and her beloved.. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script in the early 1980s, but the film was kept on the back-burner partially due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001 after filming 30 hours of second unit footage and holding table read with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco, and Kevin Spacey, but the project was scrapped after the September 11 attacks, because a scene from the script (page 166) "predicted" the attacks. At 21:40, Catilina's character says the phrase "Holy Jesus Christ!" in amazement. Yet, within universe, the city of New Rome stems from a culture based on Roman Mythology (example: 54:47, the dedication to Vesta; 01:55:51, someone says "The will of Cronus", or at 01: 56:49, a statue of Saturn is displayed prominently, while there are many more depictions of Roman deities).
And, well, I
In this universe, Christianity doesn't exist. There's no reason Catilina would use the phrase "Holy Jesus Christ!" and in such context.. Cesar Catilina: *You* wanna help me?Julia Cicero: Yeah. well, I want to learn.Cesar Catilina: And you think one year of… medical school entitles you to plow through the riches of my Emersonian mind?Julia Cicero: Entitles me?Cesar Catilina: Yes.Julia Cicero: [scoffs] Call me?Cesar Catiline: Yes!Julia Cicero: Call me?Cesar Catilina: YEEEEEES!Julia Cicero: You have no idea about me! You think I am nothing, just a socialite?Cesar Catilina: No, not nothing, but I reserve my time for people who can think.
I love them
About science. And literature, and… architecture and art. Do you find me cruel, selfish and unfeeling? I work without caring what happens to either of us. So go back to the cluuuub, bare it all, and stalk the kind of people that you enjoy.Julia Cicero: Fine! I will.Cesar Catilina: Come back when you have more time!.

The "Ultimate IMAX Experience" version of the film features a live actor asking questions during the filmed press conference.. My PledgeWritten by Grace VanderWaalPerformed by Grace VanderWaalCourtesy of Columbia RecordsBy arrangement with Sony Music EntertainmentProduced and Orchestrated by Kris Kukul. I so desperately wanted to be part of the minority who enjoyed Megalopolis. However, what an abhorrent nightmare; or maybe a fever dream is more accurate. There's no doubt that the actual bundle of ideas that make up Francis Ford Coppola's "masterpiece" are incredibly unique and interesting. The problem is the execution of those ideas and the dialogue that connects them together.

I am obsessed with the idea of New Rome and all these quasi Roman characters plotting against each other like a Shakespearean Game of Thrones. But listening to Adam Driver give a quote from Hamlet and then immediately saying "in the clurrrrb" and Jon Voight saying "boner" are just unforgivable. I roughly understand the plot of Megalopolis, but I cannot even begin to fathom why any character does anything they say or do. The amount of talent that was wasted on what has to be one of the most beautiful, visually stunning backdrops, is disrespectfully confusing. With all of that being said, I will probably cause myself to suffer an additional viewing of Megalopolis, just to be sure I'm sure the experience was so exhausting..
