Among them is Julia Cicero, whose loyalties are divided between her father and her lover
Scenario
The city of New Rome faces a duel between Caesar Catiline, a brilliant artist in favor of a utopian future, and the greedy mayor Franklin Cicero. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay in the early 1980s, but the film was shelved in part because of his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001 after shooting 30 hours of second footage and a table read with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Eddie Falco and Kevin Spacey , but the project was scrapped after the 9/11 attacks because a scene from the script (page 166) "predicts" the attacks.
It’s just the same shot, flipped and slightly tilted
Coppola completely abandoned the project in 2007 and did not begin developing it again until 2019. The security video of Cicero entering Ceasars office is believed to be from two different cameras, as indicated by the small text in upper left corner.

Full disclosure: This movie is a disaster of epic proportions – an absolute train wreck that derails, crashes, and then somehow sets itself on fire.
And you know what?
It’s so bad it’s almost brilliant, kind of so awful it’s a genius nightmare that future cult fans will rave about. I have a hell of a lot of respect for Coppola for this. The guy is a movie legend who just decided to throw all caution (and coherence) to the wind and become a complete mad scientist for the matter.
Well done, great lunatic!
It’s a glorious, unfiltered mess from the mind of a genius who has clearly stopped caring what others think. 👏🏻. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival and more.
