Variety also reports the cast includes plenty of other well-known actors, from the “Star Wars” franchise’s Adam Driver to Laurence Fishburne and Jon Voight. As for the plot, Coppola told Nob Hill Gazette, “It’s about what kind of world we can make to live in that would be as close to a harmonious utopia as possible.”
Giant Freakin Robot, which first reported the news in July, noted that “Megalopolis” has been a dream of Coppola’s he has worked to get off the ground for decades.
