Peter Bart: Coppola's ambitious and idealistic film sparks discussion at Cannes, as former collaborator George Lucas quietly prepares his own expensive, futuristic project.

Reported 5 months ago

Francis Ford Coppola's utopian epic film "Megalopolis," which he financed with $120 million of his own money, stirred debate at Cannes while his former partner George Lucas celebrated his 80th birthday at Skywalker Ranch. Despite the contrasting paths they took in their careers, both filmmakers eventually became billionaires, with Coppola focusing on his expanding wine business and Lucas preparing to open his billion-dollar art museum in Hollywood called The Museum of Narrative Art. Lucas has remained tight-lipped about the museum's specifics but has hinted that it will encompass all forms and genres of storytelling.
