shooting Metropolis, is Coppola's long-cherished wish for many years. To raise money for the film, he sold his winery to fund the film, which cost more than $100 million to make. Written in the 1980s, the film is set in New York and follows an architect's attempt to create a utopia in the city, an attempt strongly opposed by the mayor. The film is described as "a grand tale of political ambition, genius and contradictory love that mirrors the fate of Rome in a world that cannot solve its own social problems". In terms of setting, it is very grand, but it has a certain degree of theme similarity with the previous "New York Synonyms".
In 2019, on the eve of his 80th birthday, Paula said he would be shooting "Metropolis" soon. At the time, Coppola said: "It's going to be a big epic, it's extraordinary, it's going to have a huge cast, and it's going to use the different styles and genres I've tried over the years in my filmmaking." In terms of other actors, Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Lawrence Fishburne, Jon Voight, and Aubrey Plaza will star. According to the previous plan, the filming process of the film will continue until March next year.
