>First written in the 1980s, his sci-fi epic Megalopolis concerns an architect dreaming of a utopic version of New York City in the near future and his battle with the conservative mayor, who has other ideas of the city. Contained within the epic are myriad storylines and characters with Warren Beatty, Parker Posey, Robert De Niro, Russell Crowe, Nicolas Cage, Paul Newman, James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Claire Danes, Kevin Spacey, and Meryl Streep all having been previously attached at one point or another. Coppola even shot second unit footage in preparation, but then after 9/11 happened, his idea of a NYC-set utopia was deterred, both because of an eerily similar disaster sequence in the film and the director’s focus on his smaller projects. Now, it looks like it may finally be back on.

Not pointing the elephant in the room
IRL wasnt it the opposite - new york was an utter shithole from the 60's-80's until the conservative Rudy Giuliani cleaned it up?
>Rudy Giuliani cleaned it up?
Was pulling out 9/11 part of the cleanup?
I hope he pulls it off. He needs one last great movie to sign off on. Anyone that’s listened to his commentaries knows that he seems like a good guy.
He wasn't that fat user
he kicks the bucket before it is ever completed, calling it now
