This video made me love Coppola so much more. Look how much he cares about his crew of actors. He's trying to take the attention away from himself. He's asking the reporters to ask questions from the other actors and his son and sister instead of him. Wow.
I don't care what anyone says...I want to see it.
Let's get a distribution deal! We want to see it!
Yes!!
you can see it in IMAX yes?
If I'm not wrong, both girls at the beginning are Romy and Cosima Mars (Sofia Coppola's daughters). That's why he mentions at 1:07 about that time when he brought Sofia Coppola on his shoulders when 'Apocalypse Now' premiered in Cannes.
One of his granddaughters became uncomfortable and embarrassed standing next to her grandpa. Listening to their conversation was such a family thing. I recall being with my grandparents at functions and being shy. I think the beginning of the clip is very human; very much about family. Love it
@@slate49 Maestro Ford Coppola, 'Happy is he who dares courageously to defend what he loves.' A look to look forward to in this movie...
Genius. Francis is a rare filmmaker in so many ways - his films are made of mind, and will continue to stand the test of time. Bravo, Francis.
30:16 all the inspiration you need today
So cute copallas granddaughter staring at him.😊
Damn, Coppola is very sharp for someone his age, he didn't say a single thing that didn't make sense, and he is already working on a new project, we're gonna have Francis for a while
I’m really excited to see this film. I’m even more excited that he’s writing another.
Lots to think about after watching this press conference. I hope the film gets a distribution deal. Many movie fans are tired of remakes, sequels and prequels. And many people have never seen a Francis Coppola film in theater so the industry needs to give this film a chance to find an audience here in the US.
So excited for this film!! Can’t believe I got to witness it in person face to face with these people 😢 so grateful
That was one of the quickest 40 minutes videos I've ever seen lol
Speaking of time, pretty amazing this was made by a man in his 80s. I believe Francis is 85 now
Yes, and so is Voight
THIS IS HISTORY ✊️✊️✊️✊️
Adam Driver is so weird attractive,he looks great here, never met someone with such a contraditory quality
And it’s unlikely you ever would as if he wasn’t rich and famous and cast often enough in h wood for you and I to recognize him this ‘quality’ wouldn’t exist. As with many actors who have made it who aren’t traditionally attractive: if he hadn’t gotten to this point as an actor and he walked right past you in your day to day, you would think nothing of him. *It’s the chicken, not the egg*
@@RBGRBGRBGRBG I disagree, I find him very attractive but it took me a few movies to get it and I guess also a few interviews that I saw that made me discover how much I also like his personality and sense of humour… I think if he was a regular person that I could get to meet as a peer, Id end up finding him really attractive cause he’s got a slow burning type allure that has nothing to do with the fact he might be famous or rich now
@@edgar7021I mean that’s a very para social thing to say.. also, I can make that statement and it doesn’t necessarily mean that I personally don’t see his appeal, I’m saying, again, that with anyone who is not classically handsome or whatever… the reality is we will never know with a lot of these people because *we only know of them after they become rich and famous*. It’s literally impossible to know because you never knew them in any other context, and someone who is rich and famous is always going to be more appealing for myriad reasons.
This is the most ambiguous and mysterious press conference I have ever seen
I agree. It is one of the most tense press conferences I’ve seen. Clearly not a great working relationship on the set of this movie. It must be awkward. It must not have been a pleasant atmosphere on set while shooting it. Everyone is saying praises to Coppola but clearly not all true. Both the press and the crew are having a difficult time balancing between their respect to an established director and their true opinion regarding this bad movie. They all know it is not a good movie, even Adam Driver is not convinced it works…
@@VH07654how do you know it's a bad movie when you haven't seen it yet?
@@SlyQueguy the reviews have been bad so far, some of the press boo’ed the movie at the Cannes screening and when being interviewed for the movie Ferrari a few months ago, Adam Driver was asked about Megalopolis and he expressed his skepticism about it. If the lead actor on a movie is not singing praises of the movie, it is usually not a good indicator… both press and actors want to be courteous to Coppola but clearly it is not one of his best movies
@@VH07654 come on mate, why spend all this time writing these paragraphs casting doubt and negativity. the passion from all these guys on the panel shined to me. just wait to watch the movie instead of casting negative speculation. don't let the reviews or any of this speculation make your experience any less pure.
@@RBGRBGRBGRBG if I recall correctly, it was during the marketing of the Ferrari movie back in December
Some how there’s a kind of master-servant dynamics in this conference, I haven’t seen the movie yet but I can tell the impact on all these actors is perhaps life long
Adam Will have his Oscar soon..and Coppola Will never die.
Fantastic conversation from the master !
Wonderful
soc cute to bring family along
Фрэнсис глыба в кинематографе,художник,он научил меня отличать великое от подделки,с большим желанием посмотрю его работу.
The granddaughter sat behind FFC with an angelic face and pure expression on her lovely face - that's who gives me hope! The future generation. The love and care of her and his son Roman for their legendary patriarch is just wonderful!
I can not wait!❤
For Aubrey fans, she speaks at 17:11.
Yeah for this portion of the day Grace VanderWaal had to settle for a chair in the audience.
who cares
What's that? People?
@@Calers-gu1ib im sorry but who tf is and who cares about Grace van der Waal, im sure she’s beloved by social media fans but she’s not exactly a much-praised actor and renowned for her performances
@@GuineaPigEveryday "not exactly a much-praised actor and renowned for her performances" You know she was 19 when the movie was filmed?
Aubrey will be 40 this June. Did you know Aubrey did her first movie when Grace was 2 yrs old, 18 yrs ago when she was 22?
Simon Cowell tried to turn Grace into some sort of Pop Jojo Siwa so it appears she fought that and Columbia has limited her to 3 songs a year for the last 3 years. No radio time. Only allowing her one full album and a EP in 8 years. In the last 3 yrs she had to change genres trying to attract a different audience. If someone liked her song and they wanted to hear more all they could find was the music she did when she was 12-14 yrs old. Any work she got in the last 3 years she had to go out and get it herself. Nothing she did in the last 3 years showed that Columbia was involved with anything she did.
From 12 to 20 she couldn't get any radio time from Columbia either. She's been performing for packed house since she was 12 and since she doesn't do Rap or Hip Hop she has stayed under the radar.
Coppola was looking into LG technology and that's how he met her father. Her Dad told Coppola about his daughter and after Coppola saw her work he instantly hired her for this movie. Columbia/agents had nothing to do with her being in this movie it was her father.
Check out this video just after her 13th Birthday singing in front of a packed arena for the 2017 Special Olympics in Austria.

Months after that she stunned the Austin City Concert organizers by stealing the audiences from the other stages.
ruclips.net/video/A1j2FUBKUc4/видео.html
She started out singing folk/rock and Simon Cowell screwed her career for 8 years fighting her to be another Pop star attracting 8 year olds. She is now picking up the pieces. This is sad because Aubrey is my favorite actress right now.
These reporters ask the dumbest questions. They just want to stir things up and get click bait headlines
Adam Driver looks so pissed at the dumb questions.
I've seen Cannes reporters be WAAAAY worse than this.
Exactly
Imagine a movie 40 years in the making and those are the first 2 questions you get at one if not the biggest movie festival in the world. Especially the second one. These people are the reason we only get capeshit, remakes and video game movies and not something special anymore.
This movie will be guaranteed kino
Finally, a pertinent question by the public: the opinion of Coppola about 1. the state of Hollywood with the lack of secured IMAX film distribution in the USA & 2. streaming today.
You know honestly that stopping of time was an amazing scene to see. I haven't seen the whole movie, but just about every movie that does that captures my imagination. All of it looks amazing, but when I saw that scene I really smiled.
Francis Ford Coppola and Megalopolis Cast and Crew "Let's Go" ! 😎👍
So cute roman capolla staring at her dad.,,😊
Don't you mean Francis's granddaughter Gia starring at Francis?
@@Owen-ub3fv 👍
I can’t wait to see it! God bless you FFC! 🚀🙏❤️
Interesting that no one asked or mentioned Fritz Lang's 1927 film, Metropolis
If I'm not mistaken, at some point along the way (before it was ever clear if this would ever come out or not), Coppola said it would be his Metropolis.
I'm in this film..........get ready 4 a ride.
thiswasgold!!!
Driver has strong features and a great voice.
Is Jon Voight turning into Christopher Walken or is Christopher Walken turning into Jon Voight?
They're the same person converging at different time lines. The answer is they're the same person.
Both soon they will swap places.
They're in a David Lynch movie turning into each other
Christopher Walken’s hair has been declared the 8th wonder of the word (declared by Walken himself). Voight’s intelligence and wisdom the 9th wonder. They will collide with one another- and the resulting Big Bang will transcend them to the rank of first and greatest wonder of the world.
no they're both turning into christoph waltz
Just a hunch - the average critic and viewer should be given Giancarlo Esposito's speech at 4:14 to compehend what they have just witnessed.
I’m all in. Any opportunity I have to see a film from Coppola, no matter how many editions, I will do it.
This guy is one of the few directors that has actually kept true to his vision of film-making (and nurtured how many others?!) and I’ll pay the ticket to see his latest endeavor on the biggest screen possible.
Where’s Shia?
Anyone know what brand of glasses roman Coppola is wearing
The exchange about politics between Coppola and Jon Voight I think says a lot about how different things are now than they were 25 years ago. Coppola *wants* to make it political and Voight doesn't, even though you would think the right winger was the one who would be pushing their beliefs and ideas on you. Voight was asked about politics and just returned a beautiful, heartfelt salutation to Coppola's genius and the movie and coming together, and when it shifts back to Coppola he brings it back to politics and says "we don't agree." It's a very interesting exchange.
The only wing I consistently see pushing their beliefs on others these days are the Woke Progressives.
Yeah its interesting given Voight’s insistence on making things political especially with that Roe v Wade movie and how it’s caused conflict between his daughter and him
I agree, but it depends as much as everything else, If it was Paul Thomas Anderson and David Mamet (i like both), maybe the opposite would happen
Good catch, glad someone else noticed it. And a damn shame that it has come to this, that especially old timers like Coppola who have lived through 'simpler' times between the two parties can't see what's going on at the moment...Divide and rule. Given the fact he has made a movie about a falling empire he SHOULD see it, so it kinda has me worried about how he will approach this in his film 🤣 We'll see.
Damn he put Jon Voight on the spot there. Wtf was he expecting from him? Defend Trump or his conservative views in a room full of staunch liberals?
It was Schopenhauer who said "Architecture is frozen music", not Goethe.
Well, it's a thing to say to invite discussion. Just like this film is inviting us to think about our real world.
Could they find a more cramped table?
I want t to meet Adam so bad 🙏🙏🤞❤❤❤
Too bad Shia wasn’t here but still a great conference ! Can’t wait to watch this
im not a big adam driver fan
but ill give props bec he used his star wars fame to help other movies get made & noticed like baumbach's marriage story, ridley scotts gucci, michael manns ferrari, and coppola's megalopolis.
I was thinking that he may also have a very good agent.
@@RoodeMenon adam driver does not have an agent. he left his former agency years ago and does his own thing
@@frankcross6958 wow.
A24 go all in man this movie is gonna be that new staple
There is no doubt that Francis Coppola is one of the greatest cinematoligist of the 20 the century !
Você está se referindo ao que começa co David Work Griphith até Copolla?
Olha que entre os dois tem tantos caras também excepcionais que fica difícil que um só deles possa ser o maior...
38:16
hey
I see their DEI Hire, the one that can't act for anything, was a no name side character in Game of Thrones.
This movie is going to bomb at the box office. I'll see it, I see everything.
22:28 Does anyone know what the reporter says right here? I just can´t understand him
Maybe « nah not this scene » ?
@@paulinecobo929 Mm I´m not getting it sadly
can anyone hear what his granddaughter is complaining about in the beginning before she leaves?
Most of the day she stood by Grace VanderWaal and Grace was sitting in the audience so maybe she wanted to join her.
Where’s Shia??
Imagine making a movie 40 years in the making and the first 2 question are political and the second even about a person who has literally nothing to do with the movie! Coppola handled the questions amazing but this just shows where peoples head is nowadays. No wonder this movie is distributed by himself, there has to be something to it that they do not like.
Why are people saying this movie is doomed? I know nothing about filmmaking but enjoy Sci-Fi movies, why is this movies having so much trouble getting a distributor or studio?
Because it's a big expensive movie, that if it bombs, will cause the distributor to lose a lot of money. And ambitious niche projects like this often don't return what they cost to make, at least not in the short term. Sometimes they become hits later, or gather a following and make money with streaming or purchases later. But most people don't see movies like this that dont have a direct tie-in to something else they know. Aka star wars, marvel films, etc.
They said earlier that Hollywood directors were jealous of him having the opportunity to do his own film without Hollywood's interference. A month ago I read one director who have some trivial complaint about him.
They did say Titanic and Avatar were going to fail.
Different time, cinema is dead @G-MIP
That’s kind of sad the whole conference is only about Coppola, they should have done an interview with him. So many great actors there and the same questions over and over again to Francis. I wonder what’s the point of actors coming there?
Voight , like a good politician , answering the question without answering, knowing that he’s surrounded by individuals who are diametrically opposed to his views.
Voight’s not afraid of anyone there. If anything, the others fear him. It wasn’t the time or place to get on a soap box.
@@G-MIP That’s interesting because he doesn’t seem like anyone to be afraid of….✌🏻
He spoke like a true Trumpean; in word salad that said practically nothing.
Ya Jon Voight is obviously a racist. How is he even allowed at Cannes?
I believe that is called "class".
No, artists are the PULSE OF SOCIETY - they are NOT there to "illuminate". Art is the result of a process of inspiration AND PEOPLE give it meaning. What is Coppola high on?!
I got an ad pretty much every two minutes trying to watch this video. Do better Variety
Fast the video forwarded to near the end and then wind it back to the beginning no more adds
Too many commercial interruptions!!!
Why is everyone acting so weird?
Will Coppola do a director's cut release in the future? Of course! why? Cause its a way to GAIN CASH!
It is one of the most tense press conferences I’ve seen. Clearly not a great working relationship on the set of this movie. It must be awkward. It must not have been a pleasant atmosphere on set while shooting it. Everyone is saying praises to Coppola but clearly not all true. Both the press and the crew are having a difficult time balancing between their respect to an established director and their true opinion regarding this bad movie. They all know it is not a good movie, even Adam Driver is not convinced it works…
Damn he put Jon Voight on the spot there. Wtf was he expecting from him? Defend Trump or his conservative views in a room full of staunch liberals?
This is probably the worst cast in a movie. Even they don't know what this film is about. Time can never be stopped.
I told you to stop working
I can't wait for the sequel. Rumor has it Francis is working on it, and the working title is:
"Megalopolislopolislopolis 1+1=2"
I hope George Lucas comes out of retirement too.🙂
Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, said, "President Trump is the most flawed person I've ever known. The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it's more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life." Greg Cohn, Trump's chief economic advisor in the early white house years, said, "He gets up because he is bored. And his staff is no better. Kushner is an entitled baby who knows nothing. Bannon is an arrogant prick who thinks he's smarter than he is. Trump is less a person than a collection of terrible traits. No one will survive the first year but his family. I hate the work, but feel I need to stay because I'm the only person there with a clue what he's doing. The reason so few jobs have been filled is that they only accept people who pass ridiculous purity tests, even for midlevel policy-making jobs where the people will never see the light of day. I am in a constant state of shock and horror."
Stay blind

Looks like this will be an epic flop, and the vineyard is gone forever.
Not quite. He made between $500m-$1b with the sale of his Sonoma wineries...
A lot of money old guy. For what? Not Disney hindu Star Wars but old Georgy technician Star Wars. Cities were important altough Luke was a good farmer hero. Somebody innocent, not as Dracula. You know what? Technicians like you learn how and then achieve to count a lot of money for their... Things. But the end of your time arrived. This present looks like you: A rusty mechanism. Aha, Emmanuel, your daugther. Go with Bill to hell, don't fly her to the moon, you are not taller enough. Your love.
Hollywood is gross.
The death stare of Coppola when unknown actress Plaza comments at 18:01 LOL What is she rambling about? Of course actors need to play around to build the character!!
People in Hollywood talking about saving the world is like the Gestapo saying were saving Jews
I agree with your statement. But I have hope for this movei. I think soam of us including the some elits have to be sick and tired of what is happening with not only the US but the word.
This press conference is BS, but I would see the film if available to rent online.
Well, no more messing around, Grandpa Coppola has put his last dollars into the affair. Even if it's total shit, we close our eyes, we clench our butts and we swallow the Cannes propaganda.
I can't stand all this bullshit about comparing the USA to the Roman empire ... But what can you expect from a director who made the bombing and massacre of the Vietnamese people look cool?
So you just didn’t understand Apocalypse Now?
So you're a dumb child that didn't understand Apocalypse Now? How cute.
Although many people lack historical awareness,we are still living in the Roman era.

Not enough room, maybe sitting with Grace VanderWaal in the reserved seats in the audience.
