Stop the presses. Francis Ford Coppola is directing again. The visionary filmmaker is renowned for crafting the best movies ever (on multiple occasions), which is why any film associated with Coppola should get people pumped.

Coppola's next film is called Megalopolis - a passion project largely self-funded through The Godfather director's own wine business. The sci-drama surrounds a master architect called Caesar, who hopes to rebuild New York as a utopia, after it was destroyed.

Considering Coppola has been writing the script for over 40 years, the epic blockbuster obviously holds a very dear place in his heart. The hype for Megalopolis is accentuated by its breathtaking ensemble, which includes Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Jon Voight, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza Shia LaBeouf, and Dustin Hoffman.

Since Coppola is 84 years old, it's likely this film will serve as his swan song, making it all the more poignant. No matter how Megalopolis turns out, it's commendable the movie-making maestro's passion project will see the light of day.

Megalopolis will be (hopefully) released sometime in 2023.
