The interim agreement is finding more and more projects under its umbrella. We've applied to it for the next project I'm on, and I've used it for smaller projects I've produced this year as well (commercials are exempt from it all entirely which helps). With the film already in the can, this is likely for publicity and screening sake as the article suggests. Strike one for Zaslav and the others making Dune move to March. Strike two will be fucking with the success of Coppola's final movie, and we nerds will not stand for this shit! |

I think Francis heard that you work for the white slavers and didn’t want to upset his old friend and business partner. If you had stayed with Spielberg, making farting dog movies, you would have already seen Megalopolis. |

Based on the hype coming out of the screening, I'm more excited than ever.

Based on the hype coming out of the screening, I'm more excited than ever. First-hand buzz or the Hollywood Reporter hit piece about all major studios passing on it cause it’s “too weird”? Looks like this’ll either be an A24 project or a streamer. It looks like Coppola is trying to recoup his investment but showed up late to the Apple party. Thanks, Ridley. |

It looks like Coppola is trying to recoup his investment but showed up late to the Apple party. Thanks, Ridley. They say it's weird, bold, and audacious. But people don't think it's not good. That gets me excited. It's a big budget arthouse movie. Would love for A24 or Neon to run with it and I'm glad they're holding out for a theatrical release. Is it going to recoup its budget? Not a chance. But there's a way to market this as Coppola's biggest cinematic feat since Apocalypse Now that if done correctly will sell tickets. |

Fair. Dracula and Rumblefish are really about the only things worth watching after Apocalypse Now.

I’m perfectly fine pretending Bram Stoker’s Dracula was the last Coppola movie. |

One From the Heart, The Outsiders, The Cotton Club, The Godfather Part 3, The Rainmaker, Youth Without Youth, and Tetro are all flawed to one degree or other... but I would call them "worth watching."

If anything slowly going through Coppola's post-70s filmography has been a pleasant surprise in terms of how good and interesting his movies still are.

One From the Heart, The Outsiders, The Cotton Club, The Godfather Part 3, The Rainmaker, Youth Without Youth, and Tetro are all flawed to one degree or other... but I would call them "worth watching." One From the Heart is awful. A tedious, repetitive movie that features some of the most annoying characters ever to hit the screen. Also bankrupted his production company so wouldn't label that one a success. The Outsiders is pretty uninteresting and a very safe adaptation. Famous for its cast and not much else. Rumblefish is a vastly superior work in every way. Cotton Club is a nice production but it's forgettable. Tetro and Youth Without Youth are interesting concepts that don't fully pan out, but yeah I like what he was going for with those. Rainmaker is a silly movie that isn't believable in the slightest (like when Matt Damon literally kills a guy and it never comes back to bite him in the ass...what!?) but yeah it's watchable. When I say worth watching, I'm referring to movies that are actually good. None of those you mentioned with the exception of Godfather III and Tetro would I say make the cut. And there's also films like Gardens of Stone, Jack, and Twixt that are downright embarrassing efforts from him. |

You can watch all those or you can watch this… It's not an 'or' situation. When’s the last time you watched any of those without be forced to or for video essay reasons? So yes, it is an “or” situation. Do you want to watch an actual good movie or do you want to be a masochist? |

If anything slowly going through Coppola's post-70s filmography has been a pleasant surprise in terms of how good and interesting his movies still are. His filmmaking prowess is always there. But his choices are odd ones. Why make Gardens of Stone? Or The Cotton Club? Or Jack? Did he lose a step after Apocalypse Now? I don't think so. But the burnout seems real. He didn't align himself with interesting projects after it which is what I find frustrating. Rumblefish and Dracula are showcases of Coppola's talents. They're both filled with style and fascinating filmmaking choices by him that you don't see in almost everything else he did from One From the Heart on. Okay that's not true; One From the Heart has a lot of style and incredible production design but it's centered around a lousy movie. Did Coppola choose to make safe movies for the remainder of his career? Sort of feels that way. Which is why I'm so excited for Megalopolis. It might have as many flaws as Tetro or One From the Heart or Youth Without Youth, but it's anything but a safe choice for him. I don't want Gardens of Stone. Or Cotton Club. Let any hack for hire from the '80s make those movies. We wanted Coppola swinging for the fences. That's not what we got, but hopefully Megalopolis is the perfect swan song for one of the greatest directors of all time. |

But his choices are odd ones. Why make Gardens of Stone? Or The Cotton Club? Or Jack? On paper, those weren’t bad ideas. What’s wrong with a movie about the Cotton Club? Here’s the elephant in the room about Coppola. What do Godfather’s, Apocalypse Now and Dracula have in common? They’re all based on well-regarded novels. Coppola is at his best when he’s paired with a strong source material and/or screenplay. Coppola isn’t Scorsese. He doesn’t elevate the material. He needs it on the page. |
