A recent article from The Hollywood Reporter seemed to confirm rumors whispered around the entertainment industry the past few weeks; that the set of Francis Ford Coppola’s latest epic, Megalopolis, was in a state of chaos. The effects-heavy film, according to the article, saw half of the Visual Effects Department had been fired with the other half quitting soon after. The article also said that the production budget – paid for entirely out of Coppola’s own pocket – has ballooned over the past few months, with several key cast members fired.
It’s an alleged debacle some in Hollywood are calling “Apocalypse Tomorrow,” after the film Apocalypse Now, the director’s masterpiece set during the Vietnam War that saw chaos, budget overruns, and key talent firings on set. But now Coppola himself has reached out to Deadline.com to deny the speculation in the Reporter that his new film is falling apart.
