What the expert says...
What is Megalopolis about?
Megalopolis is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 2024 and is highly anticipated with the movie a longtime passion project written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
The film sees Adam Driver star as Caesar who looks to rebuild a City similar to New York as a sustainable utopia after an accident destroys it, with opposition coming from the cities mayor and other people.
Coppola has wanted to make the film ever since 1979 when he first conceived the idea but years have gone by without it happening until now where he had to spend $120 million of his own money on the film for it to be made.
When does this year’s Cannes Film Festival take place?
The 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival will take place between the 14 to 25 May 2024.
Various awards are handed out across the full 11 days including different independent awards, specials screenings, short films competitions and much more.
Studio Ghibli and George Lucas will both receive Honorary Palme d’Or awards at the festival this year with honorary awards given to those who have achieved massively successful bodies of work in their career without ever winning the main Palme d'Or award.
