00:00Talia Shire, Shia LaBeouf, and more stars have joined the cast of Francis Ford Coppola's big-budget indie film Megalopolis.
00:07The call sheet is now a family affair with Coppola's sister and his godfather star Shire and nephew Jason Schwartzman joining the project.
00:15Also joining the cast are LaBeouf, Grace VanderWaal, Catherine Hunter, and James Remar.

00:45The fate of Rome haunts a modern world unable to solve its own social problems in this epic story of political ambition, genius, and conflicted love.
00:54The film notably marks LaBeouf's highest-profile project since his former girlfriend FKA Twigs detailed in a February 2021 lawsuit alleged abuse she suffered at his hands.
01:04The actor has been back in the headlines over the past week.
01:07He fired back at filmmaker Olivia Wilde, who says she fired him from her film Don't Worry Darling.
01:11He asserts that he quit, and he leaked text messages and a video from Wilde, he says prove that point.
