And so it came to pass after all those scare stories about Francis Ford Coppola's new film, telling us that no distributors would touch it, because of Coppola's demands for a $100m P&A budget, it seems that bad spell has been broken and fortunately we'll get to see Megalopolis at a cinema near us. S...

It's amazing, MEGALOPOLIS is all anyone is talking about here are Cannes. I'm so bummed I can't make the premiere we have our Stage 32 + PJ Party event the same time as the first screening.
Meh. The trailer looks a messy genre mashup. So the movie has overseas distribution. No shock there. Lots of recent bts reports, from crew complaining the first day of production to FFC kissing & groping Extras. Anyways, he is a legend filmmaker but he peaked 40-years ago
Maurice Vaughan me too, Maurice. I can't wait to see it. It looks epic. I'd love to see the screenplay!
Amanda Toney that's a bummer. Couldn't you sneak out for a while in your PJs and watch it?
Dan MaxXx awh, Dan. You're just spoiling the vibe, man.
Francis Coppola is in the news with his latest film, MEGALOPOLIS, scheduled to premiere at Cannes. Consequently, I've been thinking about him a lot lately. Below is a glimpse of his process when he worked on THE GODFATHER. One gets a sense of why he is a true master filmmaker. I wonder how his proce...

It's intriguing to see how Coppola draws inspiration from history's tapestry
Fantastic share, Tucker Teague! That's a really thick notebook! Filmmakers, do you make notebooks for your projects?
The dedication and passion he puts into his work to tell his stories is inspiring. The documentary of his late wife about the journey of making Apocalypse Now tells us a lot about the fire that drives him.
G'day directing friends.
Screenwriting novice here. I wonder if you could provide some insight into how I might address something I'm told could put the backs up of directors.
Right at the top of my script, before we've met anyone, I want to set a scene and have used the term 'we drift through' to de...

This is ridiculous! Worst set up I have ever encountered. As a seasoned presenter, this is amateur hour. I will be putting in for a refund. And, if this is caliber of tech service, I really wonder about the quality of any presentation. Stephen Wade Nebgen
Still haven't got my question answered from last time: I really want to know what's going on with marketing/distribution, because my friends and family hardly hear any new releases of Film and TV, esp...

Making quality docs is already such a challenge creatively and financially. Definitely going to follow this ruling and the journey in court that may follow.
