Francis Ford Coppola discusses Megalopolis and future film plans

Director Francis Ford Coppola has provided updates regarding his upcoming projects. While an official release date for his science fiction epic, Megalopolis, has not been confirmed, expectations suggest a late 2024 release. Filming for the project concluded in March 2023, and the story follows an architect attempting to rebuild a devastated New York City into a utopian metropolis.

During a recent appearance at the World Business Forum in Bogotá, Coppola expressed a desire to shoot “one more film.” This follows a period of uncertainty regarding his planned musical adaptation of Edith Wharton’s “The Glimpses of the Moon.” Despite various projected start dates and production shifts spanning from 2025 to 2026, the project has faced significant delays and financing challenges following Coppola’s substantial investment in Megalopolis.
