Francis Ford Coppola’s passion projectMegalopolishas been on his mind since the ’80s, and now we finally have a first look.
The sci-fi epic is set in New York City after a devastating disaster, following a woman torn between loyalties to her father and her lover. The former has a classical view of society, while her partner wants to rebuild the city as a utopia following its collapse.
The first image gives very little away, but we can see some of New York City in disarray as a statue is toppled and the streets look like they’ve been looted. Shared via The Godfather director’sInstagram, it could suggest a trailer may not be too far away.
Outside of that, not much is known about the film’s premise yet, but Driver called the movie one of the “best shooting experiences” of his life in an interview withCollider. “Watching [Coppola] work that crew, that design team, he has such a command over cinematic language and an archive in his mind of shots that are so beautiful,” he added.
