Megalopolis boasts an all-star cast of Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurence Fishburne, Forest Whitaker, Dustin Hoffman, Chloe Fineman, Shia LaBeouf, Talia Shire, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jason Schwartzman, and Jon Voight. Filming wrapped just this past March, after Coppola reportedly financed the project himself. In a 2007 interview with Ain't It Cool News, Coppola revealed that he directed Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Jack (1996), and The Rainmaker (1997) simply to "save money up" so that he "could keep that money separate and use it to make Megalopolis."
