MEGADOC Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: A raw, fly-on-the-wall documentary about Francis Ford Coppola’s decades-long journey in creating his self-financed passion project, MEGALOPOLIS. The bold and unrelenting epic returns in Mike Figgis’ portrait of Coppola’s creative process – weaving together archival material, unfiltered cast interviews, and a close-up view of how the legendary filmmaker drew from Roman history, political allegory, and his own singular vision to shape the world of Megalopolis. This isn’t a record of a production on the brink, it’s a personal memoir unfolding in real time.

Directed by Mike Figgis | Produced by Tara Li-An, James Mockoski

Featuring Francis Ford Coppola, Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Nathalie Emmanuel, Dustin Hoffman, Giancarlo Esposito, Chloe Fineman, Shia LaBeouf, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Voight, Talia Shire, Robert De Niro and more.

00:03I have money. I already have fame.
00:05I already have Oscars.
00:06What do I get that I want?
00:08Some fun.
00:09I want to have fun.
00:14You have been working on this project for a while.
00:1730 years.
00:21How can someone spend 120 million dollars of their own money on film?
00:26Say a prayer.
00:27Action!
00:28I read the script 25 years ago.
00:32I'm Giancarlo Esposito.
00:35People may look back in 30 years and say,
00:37God, you've got to go back and watch Mechalobolis.
00:39No one I'm working with realizes how weird a movie this really is.
00:43I read it and then I emailed him back and I said,
00:45this is a nightmare.
00:46What is going on right now?
00:49That guy knows.
00:51He is structured to trust his cast,
00:53to come up with something that he hasn't thought of.
00:55I want you to be able to do anything you want to do.
00:58You seem to thrive on chaos.
01:00No.
01:01I am confronting chaos.
01:02Everyone sit down and don't do anything.
01:04I've done this for 50 years.
01:06He works from pure passion.
01:08Give me what I want!
01:10I don't know what you want.
01:11He's a romantic.
01:13And he's very repressed.
01:15He's very what?
01:16What?
01:17What was the last phrase?
01:18I was so young when I started working with him.
01:20He is my godfather.
01:23It's Francis.
01:24I know where I am and I know it's the Super Bowl.
01:27He's got a big dream.
01:28He feels that it's visceral.
01:30We're in need of a great debate about the future.
01:33That's good.
01:34That's what's extraordinary about Francis.
01:36He's the opposite of me.
01:37I'm a planet out, plodding along, and he's a jump off the cliff guy.
01:42Jacques Dati, for his last film, put all his money in and lost it.
01:46He died broke.
01:47Who cares if you died broke if you made something that you think is beautiful?
