1905 Movie Network News Recently, the title poster of the new film "Metropolis" directed by Francis Ford Coppola has been revealed for the first time. Filming this film has been Coppola's long-cherished wish. In order to raise funds for the film, he sold his winery to inject capital into the film. The production cost exceeded US$100 million.
The script of "Metropolis" was written in the 1980s. The story is set in New York and tells the story of an architect who attempts to create a utopia in the city, an attempt that is strongly opposed by the mayor. The film has been described as a grand story about political ambition, genius and contradictory love, reflecting the fate of Rome in a contemporary world unable to solve its own social problems. In terms of setting, it is very grand, but it also has a certain degree of theme similarity with the previous "Synecdoche, New York".
Regarding the film, Coppola said: This film is very unusual and will never be boring. Other than that, wait and see. In a few months, it will be released. Adam Driver, the film's star, thinks the film is crazy. He said: It is very imaginative, grand and epic, it is bold and risky.
At present, the film has not yet been released and is expected to have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
