So anyone knows anything about the script? Is this about the fall of a kind of Roman/western empire? Shit looks spectacular but also grim as fuck.
Art DecoReminds me Bioshock somehow.
That's the upcoming Jason Statham film Meg 4: Meg In The City.Meh, i thought it was about a city full of megalodons.
Reminds me Bioshock somehow.
Part 5 will be amazing. Meg 5: Shutup MegThat's the upcoming Jason Statham film Meg 4: Meg In The City.
Looks like an allegory for the collapse of the "American Empire." New York is known as The Empire State, so the fall of what looks like bazzarro world New York is symbolically about the America falling. At least that is my no-caffeine-just-pulled-an-all-nighter brain is telling me.So anyone knows anything about the script? Is this about the fall of a kind of Roman/western empire?

The names of the characters are a bit on the nose don't you think:An accident destroys a decaying New York City-like metropolis. Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), an idealist architect with the power to control time, aims to rebuild the city as a sustainable utopia, but is opposed by corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo. Torn between them is Franklyn's socialite daughter, Julia (Nathalie Emmanuel), who, tired of the influence she inherited, searches for her life's meaning.
Possibly created so that even dummies can pick up what he's putting down.The names of the characters are a bit on the nose don't you think:
Catilina = Lucius Sergius Catilina
Cicero = Marcus Tullius Cicero
Julia & Cesar = Julius Caesar
Is this a university creative writing project?
Old draft is on the Internet Archive. It's inspired by the Catilinarian Conspiracy. Adam Driver invents miraculous new material, wants to build utopian neighborhood in the middle of NY, Chicken Man is the corrupt mayor who opposes him, conspiracy and drama ensues. The tone is like The Fountainhead and Things to Come had a baby.So anyone knows anything about the script? Is this about the fall of a kind of Roman/western empire?

130 minutes.It's gonna be good seeing some classic filmmaking class again that isn't just self felating Scorsese wank.
Hopefully this isn't like 12 hrs long or something
Oh no doubt he made classics and will be remembered for them.130 minutes.
I can't stand late stage Scorsese. He was my favourite back in the day.
Is this supposed to be a bad thing in the current environment of Barbies and Super-heroes?abstract art project.
Excellent point. I got EWS vibes as well. It's the all around decadence and high contrast with colour usage. This will be a wonderful joint. If it is a train wreck, it will be one of the decade's most enjoyable train wrecks to witness.Also for whatever reason I get late Kubrick/Eyes Wide Shut weirdness vibes. And similarly, it took Kubrick forever to make EWS (was putting things together since the late 60s right after 2001)

Not the biggest fan of Driver as well. He was ok playing the bus driver on that Jarmusch film and that's kind of it.Oh I cant wait. I cant stand Driver, but the rest of the cast? Dustin Hoffman wat Talia Shire wat John Voight wat
He's bringin out some legends. For that and the visuals/cinematography Im in 1000000%. Looks fuckin nuts.
It's a real film, Jack.

As the gay man that I am, I have to congratulate him on having a really nice back and shoulders though.
Booking IMAX tickets for 3 as soon as it is available.
going to be a lot of talk about this film.

Well that's just put me off completely. Sound's right up its own arse.An accident destroys a decaying New York City-like metropolis. Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), an idealist architect with the power to control time, aims to rebuild the city as a sustainable utopia, but is opposed by corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo.

Co-producer's response to the on-set behavior “I have known and worked with Francis and his family for over 35 years. As one of the first assistant directors and an executive producer on his new epic, Megalopolis, I helped oversee and advise the production and ran the second unit. Francis successfully produced and directed an enormous independent film, making all the difficult decisions to ensure it was delivered on time and on budget, while remaining true to his creative vision. There were two days when we shot a celebratory Studio 54-esque club scene where Francis walked around the set to establish the spirit of the scene by giving kind hugs and kisses on the cheek to the cast and background players. It was his way to help inspire and establish the club atmosphere, which was so important to the film. I was never aware of any complaints of harassment or ill behaviour during the course of the project"
Post the entire thing next time.
Lets not jump to conclusions here. I thought we were better than the other forum.
Obviously took inspiration from Hideo Kojima.The names of the characters are a bit on the nose don't you think:
Catilina = Lucius Sergius Catilina
Cicero = Marcus Tullius Cicero
Julia & Cesar = Julius Caesar
