Feature From ‘Megalopolis’ to ‘Juror #2,’ how are longtime filmmakers faring tod
Manage episode 445164648 series 2411543
Referred to by Vulture as a box office “Mega Flop(olis),” Francis Ford Coppola’s decades-long project didn’t have an ideal opening, making $4,000,000 domestically across 1,854 theaters. Coppola, now 85 years old, hasn’t gotten much love from audiences for the film, although one sequence has become the subject of many online memes. Megalopolis also arrives at a time when advertisements for the 94-year-old Clint Eastwood’s new film, Juror #2, are set to release in November. Both filmmakers have extensive filmographies, including some hits and misses, but are their new projects resonating as much as prior works? How are they faring compared to longtime auteurs like Martin Scorsese and Michael Mann? We talk to FilmWeek critics Tim Cogshell and Wade Major about whether these filmmakers are still resonating with audiences, and what challenges they face with making films in their twilight years.
