I hope you don’t mind an interloper. Hah! I figure the more I know about...

I like the lineup, Pat Alexander! I'm really looking forward to “Megalopolis,” “Furiosa,” "The Substance," and "Bird."
Very strong lineup again. Thierry ain't screwin' around. I'm already working on my Megalopolis tixs ;)
Yeah, it's Megalopolis for me too. Really hope this is a great swan song for FFC.
Don't count him out just yet. Apparently in development on another! This time off of a novel, however.
Richard "RB" Botto , can you tell us more about Coppola's next project? The book?

Hi All! I've been busy working All American and haven't been able to post/comment this past month or so! Thought I'd post a little bit about my show. Thing about TV is no matter how big or small the episode is, it's 8 days to shoot. Or at least on regular network/cable show. Sometimes it's 7, we are...

Maurice Vaughan, yea it'll suck you in!

A sad state of affairs, indeed. Coppola deserves better.
It's hard to believe a director like Francis Ford Coppola has had problems finding a home for "Megalopolis," Nick Phillips. I think he's eventually gonna find a home for it. I'm looking forward to see...

Maybe it's just a bloated, indulgent film? You can't always rest on your laurels. Anyone see Coppola's Youth Without Youth? It was a disaster.
The last line of that article says it's "So not good". Now I want to see it. Somehow, he'll get it picked up I bet.
It's been a minute since we had an update on the Rust shooting incident. At the time, if you look back at my posts, my opinion as someone with decades of set experience - and having directed and produced lots of action and stunt sequences - was that the armorer was primarily to blame, as well as the...

M LaVoie Agree with you 100% on this.
Thanks Stephen & M!
Based on her subpoena'd texts and recorded phone calls in prison, the armorer showed little remorse and a jarring lack of responsibility for her actions.
No one should ever ever touch a gun on set unless the armorer has checked it first and gives permission to hold to actor. Never. Period. As a 1st AD for a long time, I don't care who's rushing, I stil...
