Nathalie Emmanuel to join Adam Driver, Laurence Fishburn, Forest Whitaker, and Jon Voight in Francis Ford Coppola’s New Film Megapolis.
The logline for the film reads: “The 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.”
Coppola is independently producing the movie, which is budgeted at just under $100 million. Coppola talked to THR about self-funding the project at a 50th-anniversary event for The Godfather, saying, “There’s a certain way everyone thinks a film should be, and it rubs against the grain if you have another idea. People can be very unaccepting, but sometimes the other idea represents what’s coming in the future. That is worthy of being considered.”
“It’s strange to say goodbye to Missandei because it’s like saying goodbye to a really pivotal part of my life and becoming who I am today. Yeah, it’s sad, but you know what? I just feel like we did this really beautiful thing together. People were so invested and engaged, and that doesn’t happen very often.”
