Francis Ford Coppola, the renowned filmmaker behind classics like The Godfather, is preparing for his next movie, an adaptation of Edith Wharton's Glimpses of the Moon. Following the disappointing financial performance of his last film, Megalopolis, which cost $120 million and received critical backlash, Coppola indicated that he will face budget constraints for this new project. He humorously shared on Rick Rubin's podcast that he has no money left, having invested heavily in Megalopolis. As pre-production progresses in the UK, he aims to create a ‘cheap’ production reminiscent of a 1930s-style musical.
It's as though Noel Coward adapted an Edith Wharton novel in England which is why I'm here in the UK. I'm actually in pre production.
Megalopolis was a decades-long passion project for Coppola, which premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival to baffled reviews.
