Sounds like garbage

Just from that screenshot I can instantly see that it's disgusting visual slop full of shit colors, shit lighting, shit cgi and shit framing. It's fricking SHIT.

1960s Film School draft dodgers telling people that work for a living they suck? That should sell those $30 IMAX tickets.
>adam driver's ugly face on an imax screen
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, I like FFC and was really interested in the film, but I dont know if I can take that kind of abuse
I'll wait til I can deepfake his face with someone less ugly
I did not care for Megalopolis
it sneeds upon itself
>big ensemble cast
>disaster in NYC
>coppola ego
>100m budget
I'll give it a go.
Coppola is finished if this doesn't break even.
coppola peaked with apocalypse now and has been burning through his frick you status that he earned with godfather and godfather 2 since then
Zendaya would have saved him. No one will watch his shitty movie now.
Looks way better than the final cast.
>OH NOOO this 84 year old man is FINISHED
Yep, he sold his livelihood to fund this movie. Coppola's going all in on this one.
Would an 84 year old really give a frick if he has an 8-figure net worth vs a 9-figure net worth?
All his properties were mortgaged too, he's going to be eating at the soup kitchen if this movie bombs.
I'm sure he could get paid $750k a year easily if he took up a lecturing professor job at USC's film school or some shit.
He sold his vineyard to finance this, it's his last hurrah and it really doesn't matter if it makes even one cent of profit
He's got kids. They might care. That's their inheritance Francis just pissed away.
>He sold his vineyard to finance this
and that is why i'm going to buy an IMAX ticket. I dont even care if its bad.
He had a net worth of $400 million before production started. He'll be fine either way. Worst case scenario his 3 kids only inherit around $100 million each.
How are they supposed to survive on a measly $100 million?
It's going to be tough but I have faith in them.
>IMAX
What was it shot on?
iphone 10
Arri Alexa 65
an IPad
Samsung galaxy
so its a high concept film?
got it
It's dishonest, is what it is.
I want it to be good, I want it to be great, mainly to shit on Cuckatino's theory that old directors only make bad movies.
reading the trivia section on imdb, it sounds like a fricken shitshow
don't trust anything discussingfilm tweets
Why? I just follow it to keep updated on movie news.
Is this a metropolis sequel ?
>This is Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight's first movie together since Midnight Cowboy (1969).
ok I will watch this
Nice, they'll be able to include the sex scene in this one.
This is honestly probably the only movie since covid that I'm actually interested in enough to watch in theaters.
only movie i'm interested in. even a massive coppola failure would be interesting.
"it's got good ideas" is code for "the movie is an unsalvageable mess"
It didn't even say they were good ideas
whose the star?
Adam Driver.

the ukulele girl from America's Got Talent? sheeesh
>Grace Vanderwaal
I love loose (legal) zoomer teens stfu
I heard she's dating Daniel Larson
she can go from cute to grim in the next photo
Zendaya isn't in it anymore. She dropped out and was replaced by Grace VanderWaal.
What a downgrade
>downgrade
zendaya is fricking ugly and sucks at acting
>slave girl from got
it's over
I wonder what type of character Giancarlo Esposito is playing
> The main villain is portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito as the city mayor opposing Caesar’s vision.
So a villian again.
yeah I figured
Let me guess
He’s le cool and le colected and calculating villain
Hes also gay
what would MAGAlopolis look like?
dude do you spend all day thinking about trump jfc
Mega = Maga
not that complicated
so yes?
weird marriages and lots of corruption. Probably the maga equivalent of detriot.

So this is basically the champagne socialist's answer to The Fountainhead.
Sounds like garbage.

Coppola is going to write the best socialist (with American characteristics) masterpiece of film history since The Deer Hunter
sounds gay
gay cast
>OLD BAD! NEW GOOD!
>RENEWABLE!!!!
>*cut to footage of "renewable* materials and "renewable" power generators in a landfill and leeching toxic materials into the environment*
What if fountain head but even more moronic
you mean fixed right?
Unwieldy late career passion projects from directors whose egos have grown too big for anyone to tell them no are the most kino.
Just from that screenshot I can instantly see that it's disgusting visual slop full of shit colors, shit lighting, shit cgi and shit framing. It's fricking SHIT.
it's another 'zoomer thinks he is better than 70s legends like coppola and ridley scott' post
Zoomers are seething that their slop has no cultural relevance the month after their release.
>SLOPPALOPOLIS
looks coal, scifi by someone that doesn't have any education in the sciences and hero is a black woman.
Kino inbound. Scorshitty already btfo.

Rumble Fish is unironically the worst movie i've ever seen
