Francis Ford Coppola (born April 7, 1939, Detroit) is an American filmmaker of Italian descent whose career spans more than six decades. The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now are consistently ranked among the greatest films ever made. In 2024 he released Megalopolis, a self-funded sci-fi epic he had been developing since the 1980s, selling part of his wine estate to finance it.
The Italian region of Basilicata announced that Coppola's new film Glimpses of the Moon will be filmed in southern Italy - in the regions of Basilicata and Calabria.
Coppola announced that Megalopolis will receive a new cut with added dream sequences that will make the film even more bizarre - he originally cut them due to concerns about audience reaction.
Coppola launched a tour with Live Nation titled An Evening With Francis Ford Coppola and Megalopolis - six stops in American cities with interactive discussion after the screening.
Coppola received the 50th AFI Life Achievement Award at a gala evening at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles; the award was presented to him by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
Coppola admitted in an interview with Rick Rubin's podcast that after the financial losses from Megalopolis, he does not have the funds to finance another project and is seeking government grants.
