“The fate of Rome haunts a modern world unable to solve its own social problems in this epic story of political ambition, genius, and conflicted love.”

Coppola is independently producing the movie, which is budgeted at just under $100 million.

"One person told me it's unreleasable. I didn't go there in my newsletter, but Kim Masters and her piece did go there. There's a scene apparently with John Voight, who apparently has an erection, 85 years old in the scene.

And he and Aubrey Plaza have an interaction that I think a lot of people in the theater were laughing at. There's a lot of other stuff that is sort of baffling. At one point during the screening, there was a live person that came up and started to have a dialogue with the screen, which apparently is like baked into the movie.

So try replicating that in a multiplex environment where you've got to have a person come down and talk to the screen during the movie. I don't know that that's going to translate. Like it's clearly an experimental already film from a guy who does not give a shit what people think and more power to him."

coppola just made a deal with a distributor in France to release it there, which automatically bars Netflix from buying it since France has a law that any movie released in french theaters cannot be streamed for 15 months. At a screener in Hollywood every studio passed on the movie lol

What a bizarre story (the making/release of this movie). Having real people interact with the screen sounds like what James Cameron pioneered with the T2 3D film at Universal Studios.

The synopsis sounds like a completely different movie from what the trailer shows. No idea what we're getting here... and it's probably the most excited I've been for a movie in years. It evoked some feelings I haven't gotten from a trailer in ages. Something that's wildly different from the norm might be what cinema needs at this point.

You are saying this like there are not many movies that are wildly different from the norm constantly being made. Now, some are easier to have access to than others. I was going to mention Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World, but apparently it can be seen on Amazon Prime Video!
