What Is Megalopolis About?

Megalopolis is a movie about an architect who dreams of building a utopia in New York City after a disaster.

“I know that Megalopolis, the more personal I make it, and the more like a dream in me that I do it, the harder it will be to finance,” Coppola told GQ. “And the longer it will earn money because people will be spending the next 50 years trying to think: What’s really in Megalopolis? What is he saying? My God, what does that mean when that happens?”

Where Is Megalopolis Being Filmed?

Filming for Megalopolis is happening in Fayetteville, Georgia at Trilith Studios. Filming will reportedly run until February 2023.
