Thanks to my guide on DSLR cinematography I have the opportunity to get my hands on some filmmaking equipment for review purposes. This is also possible because I'm moving into an apartment July 1, which will be the first time in nine months that I'll have steady access to my 5D (not to mention a physical address to receive things in the mail). In light of this, I started wondering, "what gear would people like to see reviewed?" And then I realized I should just ask you! So please leave a comment with any gear you're wondering about. This could be a category of tools (e.g., tripods, viewfinders, steadicams) or a specific item (e.g., Zacuto Z-Finder, Genus Matte Box, Shoot35 Follow Focus). Let me know and I'll do my best to get ahold of it and let you know if it's worth your hard-earned dollars!
Bask in Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' Trailer
The auteur is back in action.
Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis is an upcoming American epic science fiction fable written, directed, and produced by Coppola.
And he self-fianced, too.
Check out the trailer below.
The Megalopolis Trailer
Megalopolis is set in a modern America that has experienced a devastating disaster. The story follows an architect who wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia.
The film features an ensemble cast, including Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Jason Schwartzman, Talia Shire, Grace VanderWaal, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman.
Megalopolis has been a passion project for Coppola since the late 1970s. It has faced numerous delays and cancellations over the years, but Coppola has finally brought his vision to life.
The film is scheduled to premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 2024, and will be released in theaters later in the year.
