George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, two old friends whose careers have long intersected. Coppola, of course, got George Lucas his start in the business, and Lucas dropped Apocalypse Now to make Star Wars. Lucas sits on a mountain of cash after selling Star Wars to Disney for a cool $4 billion. Coppola sold his winery to make a movie that no studio wants to distribute and found “sadness” in his protege’s success.
Others presumably worried that words like “From the twisted mind of Francis Ford Coppola” or “Starring Shia LaBeouf” would pose too great a challenge to any studio’s marketing department. Nevertheless, according to Variety, Coppola is going to test his luck with the buyers at Cannes, where Megalopolis will premiere in competition on May 17. As hard as it is to believe, Cannes Director Thierry Fremaux is actually excited to screen a movie directed by the guy who made The Conversation. Go figure.
