Even from a single image, there’s plenty to look at here – a sense of crumbling empires, though a setting that reads as contemporary New York; the eeriness of those abandoned apartments and broken doors; that ominous broken statue; the grandiosity (and sci-fi leanings) of that title treatment. Consider us almightily intrigued. The film stars Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurence Fishburne, Dustin Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, Talia Shire, and Kathryn Hunter, to name but a fraction of the cast. And it’s both written and directed by Coppola himself.
Stay tuned for more imagery on the film as it moves through post-production – and, fingers crossed, we may see the full thing before the year is through. Here’s hoping it proves worth the wait.
