A passion project that has existed since just after the days of Apocalypse Now, it’s an ensemble piece involving an architect rebuilding New York City after a financial crisis cripples the metropolitan hub. Coppola had tried to get the film off the ground back in 2001, as a way of returning to original screenplays. He shot second unit footage and was eyeing a cast that included Robert De Niro and Nicolas Cage. However, the September 11 attacks put the film on indefinite hold.

While some conversations are further along then others, the actors Coppola is discussing roles with include Oscar Isaac, Forest Whitaker, Cate Blanchett and Jon Voight, with Zendaya, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jessica Lange also among those he is seeking.

He is funding this with his own money bruh
Costs between 100-120 mil

why is there no thread for this

I’m in now fam!!!

Coppola still makes movies

yoooo hope this gets made sounds epic hope copolla goes out with a magnum opus

He still alive?

This s*** better be in the MCU if he's willing to sink in that much money in it.

Lol you must not know how Francis is. Nigga is willing to kill himself to make sure his ideas get made

Desperately need a 21st century classic from Coppola

He'll hardly not miss with this one

His last few movies were big ol mid, need a hitter from him here to wrap up an incredible career

This was supposed to star Shia Labeouf. Guessing he got kicked off after the FKA Twigs controversy.

I’m in either way

Probably cuz like that Spawn movie that's been in development hell for over a decade, it prolly won't ever actually get made

Plot sounds lit

Hope it gets made

After his last few movies it’s time to retire grandpa

Oscar Isaac

I’ve been seeing Cate get casted in so many projects recently man

Isaac dropped out

has he gone into any movies with this much ambition since the 70s? I’m not too familiar w his newer work, but the way he’s talking about this has me excited.

I’m also trying to think if there are any big directors that came back w a hitter after 40 years of mostly mid

oscar isaac to feige before moon knight starts: btw after this im done im doing francis coppola movie btw :D no more marvel for me

feige

Didn’t know that was his uncle
