Trailer Released for ‘Megadoc’ After Playing at Telluride and Venice

One of the more interesting documentaries to have played last week at the Telluride Film Festival and Venice Film Festival has got to be Megadoc. Directed by Mike Figgis of Leaving Las Vegas fame, the movie follows journey Francis Ford Coppola went on to finally make Megalopolis. The doc will be released in theaters on September 19th.

This is the synopsis for the film:

A raw, fly-on-the-wall documentary about Francis Ford Coppola’s decades-long journey in creating his self-financed passion project, Megalopolis. The bold and unrelenting epic returns in Mike Figgis’ portrait of Coppola’s creative process – weaving together archival material, unfiltered cast interviews, and a close-up view of how the legendary filmmaker drew from Roman history, political allegory, and his own singular vision to shape the world of Megalopolis. This isn’t a record of a production on the brink, it’s a personal memoir unfolding in real time.

Here is the trailer for Megadoc:
