That tweet is basically a clickbait, there's no development yet.

If (big if) production starts sometime in the near future, it will be the film event of the decade at least. I love this WGAF attitude from Francis

I'm still shocked that none of his billionaire friends fellow filmmakers with fuck you money like Spielberg or Lucas never helped him, even a goddamn bit, to fund this project. Seriously, how hard it is for them to put 60-70 Million each, personally or throughout their companies??

Lucas has helped Coppola financially in the past.

This is turning out to be Mattsby's next favorite movie. Terrific article, by the way.

Cage was in the mix of that superstar casting back in '01..... along with De Niro, Newman, Gandolfini, Crowe, etc. Really hope he gets a part!
As for the leads...... so, Jude Law and Oscar Isaac passed on Sergio Cataline? If you want an Italian, Luca Marinelli... especially if they're getting Zendaya as the main love interest, I imagine they'd want a younger lead. So no Bardem? What about Matthias Schoenaerts (who's in the same agency as Coppola)...... They'll prob get Adam Driver, who we kidding!

Mr. Coppola, make him an offer he can't refuse.

Definitely hoping he pulls down a big A lister for the lead here to make it an event. Bale would be cool.

I've this from inner sources that the talks are on going and nothing has been signed yet. Would really love to see this happen with Bale. Fingers crossed.

The GOAT and the maestro, together again! Take with a grain of salt World of Reel...who even says themselves take it with a grain of salt.....um.........
A potential cast list for Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” has leaked online (via DeuxMoi). This isn’t any kind of confirmation, take it with a grain of salt, but here goes ..
Adam Driver seems to have taken the lead role, edging out potential competition from Christian Bale, Matt Damon and Chris Pine.
Al Pacino is said to have been cast in a small role. Others rumoured to be part of the cast include Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito, and Tracy Adkins.
The project is aiming for a September shoot in the Pacific Palisades. The studio is said to start revealing the cast one-by-one on a weekly basis ala what Christopher Nolan did with “Oppenheimer.”
A Variety interview with Coppola stated “Megalopolis,” which would mark his first film since 2011’s “Twixt,” could potentially go into production in the fall. It’s been reported that Coppola will invest $120 million of his own money to make the damn thing

Hmmm ... if true Driver would presumably filming directly after Ferrari which is set to start filming in May I believe ... if both finally come to fruition with Driver leading both that's a pretty insane "it'll never happen" double feature.

Hiring Adam Driver instead of Bale, Damon, or Pine is beyond questionable.

Driver over Bale would be... a choice.
I don't feel strongly about Driver as an actor, but the fact that all these major directors seem to love him is mystifying to me.

Assuming this isn't BS: * I guess this is all in addition to some of the other names - Blanchett etc - but some of the other names could have left? * This has the whole top stars of the noir movie "Sniff" (filming soon!) - Pacino, Freeman, Mirren, DeVito - way to steal that little movies cache Francis...um * We don't really know the role - maybe Driver is better for it........maybe Bale refused to read for it or something. I say this all the time - Driver is going to be in big movies for the next 15 years.......everybody seems to like him, his work ethic is insane, seems to be "a good hire" .......I'm not a huge fan of his work - though he's always been good and I'm sure will be great at some stretch......but trust me when he goes from 2 Oscar nods to 5 .........MAR will love him like he's the new ..........Bradley Cooper

What makes me doubt that news is the part about 'the studio'. This film isn't attached to any studio yet.
