Coppola delays "Megalopolis" opus
By Charles Lyons
NEW YORK (Variety) - Francis Ford Coppola's futuristic epic 
"Megalopolis," which centers on the rebuilding of New York after a 
disastrous incident, is headed back to the think tank after nearly 15 
years in development.
The picture had seemed ready to roll in late summer, but Coppola has 
elected to do a rewrite on the Cecil B. DeMille-style picture, which is
budgeted at $50 million-$60 million. He plans to start production next 
fall.
In an interview last year with Daily Variety, Coppola compared the New 
York of his film to "a New York of 15 years ago, when the city was badly
in debt and desperate for renovation."
The picture centers on two primary characters. The mayor is dedicated to
preserving the city's heritage, while an architect planner looks ahead.
When a massive renovation project is planned for an area running from 
8th Avenue to the Hudson River and from 34th to 20th streets, it becomes
the nexus of a battle over vision, scale and profits, involving "every 
layer of society from workers, labor unions, the man on the street to 
the idea men, the money men and all those involved with them," Coppola 
said.
Associates say the events of Sept. 11 have convinced Coppola all the 
more that his movie is relevant to the times. "I feel as though history
has come to my doorstep," Coppola has told friends.
Coppola already has what one source called "the envelope of the picture,
in terms of real footage." Using the 24-frames-per-second digital camera
with which George Lucas shot "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom 
Menace," Coppola already has 30 hours of second-unit footage around New
York, which he shot prior to Sept. 11 and in the two weeks afterward.
Longtime associate Fred Roos said Coppola has staged several readings of
the picture but has not yet decided on a cast.
