The production has been supposedly rife with both upheaval and discord; the reports go on to paint a dramatic paint of a project barely holding it together. Right smack-dab in the middle of these allegations, stands Coppola’s supposedly regressive behaviors towards women, the female members on set, both cast and crew alike? The octogenarian director, who’s like, now 85 or something, is accused of unsettling gentle cuddles, it seems—he allegedly has drawn women onto his lap and made somewhat questionable moves during a powerful two-day shoot full inside a nightclub scenes.

Disconcerting accounts point out that Coppola trying to distribute kisses to female extras, some of these women were in various states of dress down, a bit unappropriated while he tried creating an air of super-real feel.

The Executive co-producer Darren Demetre kinda leaped to his side, arguing that Coppola’s actions was just nice, kind hugs and occasional cheek kisses, meant for enriching the movie’s feels. However, Demetre admits his head was in the sands about any potential whispers of harassment or miscarrying throughout the entire times the movie was made. Megalopolis is like a pillar of Coppola’s never-give-up spirit, a project of great proportions that seen the maestro push the limits trying to manifest his dream into realities? By sacrificing parts of his loved vineyard to fund this huge challenge, Coppola have stood strong against skeptics and disbelievers from distribution sides. They’re all scaredy-cats about the movie’s power to pull in profits or whatever.

One distributor, after a viewing, ominously warned that throwing cash into marketing and spreading the word will probably see their money flying out the window. Yet, despite the storm brewed behind curtains, the Megalopolis is keep standing tall for its highly anticipated reveal at the fancy Cannes Film Festival where it wants to win some nods or something among, uh, peers. As the curtain gets ready to go up on this long-waited film spectacle, the big question is hanging there: Will the chaos that has totally defined its making pave(paths), uh, to a cinema brilliance, or just signal the start of more mess? Time, as they say, goanna reveal if Coppola’s big cinema bet wins big or flops on the silver big screen.
