Coppola abandoned the project altogether in 2007
Scenario
The city of New Rome faces a duel between Cesar Catilina, a brilliant artist who advocates for a utopian future, and the greedy mayor Franklin Cicero. Among them is Julia Cicero, whose loyalties are divided between her father and her lover. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay in the early 1980s, but the film was shelved in part due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001, with 30 hours of second unit footage shot and a table read with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco and Kevin Spacey. the project was shelved after the 9/11 attacks because a scene in the script (page 166) "predicted" attacks. and started creating it again only in 2019. The security video of Cicero entering Ceasars office should be two different cameras as the small text in the upper left corner indicates. It's just the same footage flipped and tilted a bit. Cesar Catilina: *You* want to help me?
Julia Cicero: Yes
And, well, I... well, I want to learn.Caesar Catiline: And you think one year of... medical school entitles you to exploit the riches of my Emersonian mind?Julia Cicero: Entitles me?Caesar Catiline: Yes. Julia Cicero: [smiling] Give me the right?Caesar Catiline: Yes!Julia Cicero: Give me the right?Caesar Catiline: YEEEEEES!Julia Cicero: You have no idea about me! Do you think I'm nothing but a socialist? Cesar Catilina: No, not anyone, but I reserve my time for people who can think. About science. And literature, and... architecture and art.
Julia Cicero: Great!
Do you think I'm cruel, selfish and callous? i am I work without caring what happens to either of us. So go back to the club, endure it all, and follow the people you like. I will.Caesar Catiline: Come back when you have more time!. "The Ultimate IMAX Experience" the film version features a live actor asking questions during a filmed press conference.

Don't forget the Marcus Aurelius quotes
You can see every penny on the screen. That's the good thing about Francis Ford Coppola's latest and probably last film. Between the actors, the costumes, and the sets that recreate New York as New Rome, you can see it all. The only question is, why did 42nd Street from Third Avenue to Times Square stay the same, but what about the movie theaters from 7th to 8th Avenue? But naturally, we are skeptical of what is essentially a fascinating biography of Robert Moses. . Especially when Ayn Rand wrote it as an answer to METROPOLIS and then pitched it to Abel Gance, who convinced him to make a movie about Julius Caesar instead of Napoleon. All in all, this is a very learned film. To understand the details, you have to have read a lot of Roman history, seen a lot of silent films, and be familiar with New York in the second half of the 20th century, including the run of the middle and upper classes from the 1950s.
what do i think The performances are great
until 1980 Because of the vagaries of my upbringing and the chaotic course of self-education, I can say those things. So. However, as with many films these days, I wonder who Coppola made this film for. He is said to have spent about $140 million of his own money on the feature. A general rule of thumb is that to break even, a film needs to make roughly twice its production costs. I don't see a large enough audience to produce $300,000,000 in tickets and secondary rights.
