MightyDargon Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Clearly Megalopolis is inferior to THE GREATEST SUPERHERO MOVIE SINCE THE DARK KNIGHT that Zaslav loved so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyDargon Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 The real trolls are the studio heads claiming this is somehow irredeemably bad while putting out loads of...dubious movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interiorgatordecorator Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) >Cesar (Adam Driver), in turn, would be a master builder, a great architect, designer, and scientist combining elements of Robert Moses, as portrayed in the brilliant biography The Power Broker lol, I love it Edited April 30 by interiorgatordecorator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just doing his version rethink to modern world, of course it’s a new incarnation of many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but he won't name Ayn, cuz he doesn't need more scrutiny, hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoleon Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 4 hours ago, interiorgatordecorator said: In his statement to VF, Coppola includes a long list of names that influenced the creation of “Megalopolis”: “I wouldn’t have been able to make it without standing as I do on the shoulders of G.B. Shaw, Voltaire, Rousseau, Bentham, Mill, Dickens, Emerson, Thoreau, Fuller, Fournier, Morris, Carlyle, Ruskin, Butler, and Wells all rolled into one; with Euripides, Thomas More, Moliere, Pirandello, Shakespeare, Beaumarchais, Swift, Kubrick, Murnau, Goethe, Plato, Aeschylus, Spinoza, Durrell, Ibsen, Abel Gance, Fellini, Visconti, Bergman, Bergson, Hesse, Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Cao Xueqin, Mizoguchi, Tolstoy, McCullough, Moses, and the prophets all thrown in.” Will admit to letting myself get excited Taylor Swift?

And it's not like every movie about an artist struggling to bring about his creation is a theft from "THe Fountainhead", Edited April 30 by dudalb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. And how about not "any movie about an artist", but specifically about an struggling architect? How many can you name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interiorgatordecorator Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 thats at least an hour shorter than I expected hope its 2:18 min long because coppola wanted it to be 2:18 min long and not an example of why self-funding 9 digit productions is a bad idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderByte Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I think distribution wise the 100 mil promotion thing is gonna be a sticking point. Most likely candidate is probably Apple still but this does sound like a steep sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
