Francis Ford Coppola first came up with the idea for Megalopolis in 1977 .

Adam Driver stars as an idealistic architect who challenges the regressive mayor of New Rome .

The film's plot was a little too similar to the 9/11 terrorist attacks for him to continue.

Francis Coppola said he wanted Megalopolis to be "some woke Hollywood production" He said Shia LaBeouf and Dustin Hoffman have been accused of sexual assault.

The movie received mixed reviews after its Cannes premiere.

It was accused of behaving inappropriately toward female extras on set.

The trailer was pulled in August for including fabricated quotes from critics.
