Director Francis Ford Coppola he threw Shia LaBeouf in his $ 100 million self-funded epic Megalopolis. LaBeouf has been in the news a lot lately, but that has nothing to do with any of the drama in his life. This is his next film concert and production is expected to begin this fall.
The actor will join an already impressive ensemble cast that includes Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight, Aubrey Square, Jason Schwartzman, Laurence Fishburne, Grace Vander Waal, Kathryn Hunter, Giacomo RemarAnd Talia County.
The film tells the story of an architect who dreams of a utopian version of New York City in the near future and his battle with the conservative mayor, who has other ideas about the city. Within the epic is contained a myriad of plots and characters. “The fate of Rome haunts a modern world unable to solve its social problems in this epic story of political ambition”.
Coppola also described the film as “a love story. A woman is torn between loyalty to two men. But not just two men. Every man comes with a philosophical principle. One of her is her father who raised her, who taught her Latin in her womb and is devoted to a much more classical vision of society, the vision of Marcus Aurelius. The other, who is the lover, is the enemy of the father but is dedicated to a much more progressive ‘Let’s take a leap into the future, let’s jump over all this garbage that has contaminated humanity for 10,000 years. We discover who we really are, that we are an enlightened, friendly, joyful species. ‘”
