The city of New Rome faces a duel between Caesar Catilinus, a brilliant artist who advocates for a utopian future, and the greedy mayor Franklin Cicero. Among them is Julia Cicero, whose loyalty is divided between her father and her lover. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay in the early 1980s, but the film was shelved in part due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001. after shooting 30 hours of second-unit footage and a table read with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco and Kevin Spacey. project was canceled after the 9/11 attacks because a scene in the script (p. 166) "intended" attacks. Coppola abandoned the project entirely in 2007. and updated only in 2019. 9:40 p.m. Catilina’s hero utters the phrase “Holy Jesus Christ!” out of surprise. But in-universe, the city of New Rome comes from a culture based on Roman mythology (example: 54:47, dedication to Vesta; 01:55:51, someone says “Crone’s will” or 01:56:49, a statue of Saturn is seen, and there are many more Romans images of deities). Christianity does not exist in this universe. There is no reason for Catiline to use the phrase “Holy Jesus Christ!” and in that context.. Cesar Catilina: *You* want to help me? Julia Cicero: Yes. And, well, I… well, I want to learn Caesar Catiline: And you think one year of… medical school entitles you to exploit the riches of my Emersonian mind? Julia Cicero: Do I have rights?Caesar Catiline: Yes.Julia Cicero: [mocking] Give me rights?Caesar Catiline: Yes!Julia Cicero: Give me rights?Caesar Catiline: YES!Julia Cicero: You have no idea what I am! Do you think I’m just a social person? Caesar Catiline: No, not at all, but I reserve my time for men who can think. About science. And literature, and… architecture and art. Do you find me cruel, selfish and insensitive? i am I work without thinking about what will happen to any of us. So go back to the club, stop watching everything and find people you like. Julia Cicero: Okay! I will.Caesar Catiline: Come back when you have more time!. "The ultimate IMAX experience" the film version features a live actor asking questions during a taped press conference.. Amanda’s Jedi Show: MEGALOCOLIS is my nightmare | Explained (2024). My PromiseWritten by Grace VanderWaal. Performed by Grace VanderWaal courtesy of Columbia Records. By arrangement with Sony Music Entertainment Produced and orchestrated by Chris Kukul. Full disclosure: this movie is a disaster of epic proportions, an absolute trainwreck that derails, crashes, and somehow catches fire. It’s a so-bad-it’s-almost-awesome, so-scary-it’s-awesome nightmare for future cult fans to dream about. And you know what? I respect Coppola for that. The guy is a movie legend who just decided to throw caution to the wind (and coherence) and drive a scientist crazy. It’s a brilliant, unfiltered mess from the mind of a genius who has clearly stopped caring what anyone thinks. Bravo, great madman! 👏🏻.
