Director Francis Ford Coppola defended his upcoming passion project, “Megalopolis,” arguing has a politically diverse cast and does not intend to lecture audiences.
Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola defended his upcoming film, “Megalopolis” in an interview as one that features actors from a variety of political backgrounds. The filmmaker’s goal is to avoid having the movie “deemed some woke Hollywood production that’s simply lecturing viewers.”
Coppola, famous for films such as “The Godfather” series, as well as “Apocalypse Now” and “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”, recently gave an interview about his upcoming futuristic epic, “Megalopolis”, which will be released in September.
The passion project, into which Coppola has reportedly invested $120 million of his own fortune after pondering it for decades, will feature a wide range of famous actors, including Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Shia LaBeouf, and many more.
During an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, the magazine’s senior editor David Fear noted, “You cast Jon Voight in a role that bears a strong resemblance to Donald Trump, and I’m going to guess that there are some political viewpoints he holds that you don’t share.
