From 'The Godfather' to 'Apocalypse Now', here's how you can watch every film directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
It seemed for a while that the ambitious project would just never happen, but recently Coppola stated that he still has not given up on Megalopolis and is now willing to invest out of his own pocket to make it happen. Tetro is available to stream on Roku and Vudu. Tucker: The Man and His Dream tells the true story of Preston Tucker and his vision for the automobile industry in the 1940s. It's similar to The Rain People as it once again centers around a woman wanting to start a new life, albeit this time it's a bit more of a comedic take on the subject. Perhaps the biggest draw to Apocalypse Now is how it seamlessly examines the notorious lack of morale and leadership present in American troops in Vietnam, centering on one soldier who is instructed to kill a rogue commander. Financially it was another story, as the cost of the film became so high that Coppola was forced to file for bankruptcy. On one hand, you have the continuation of Michael Corleone's story, where the still young mob boss has to continue to uphold his family's legacy and potentially discover a mole in his own organization. Coppola was still working with Corman on a separate project, and Corman allowed him to work on Dementia 13 using the equipment and crew that they had. It's hard to imagine that this came out of 1969 because of how timeless and grounded it is, showing that the current era of filmmaking was moving in a far different direction from the big-budget glossy musicals. The story for this one is even vaguer than The Bellboy and the Playgirls. Basically, two guys go to Vegas and go to a gentleman's club and watch some adult entertainment. Everyone except Hugh Hefner (seriously) seemed to hate the sexploitation flick, but the fact is this was a low start for Coppola and each following film would steadily increase in quality from this point on. Coppola's job was to "direct" a reedited version of the film to dub the dialogue in English and remove most allusions to the Soviet Union altogether.
Speaking with Bleeding Cool, The Offer star Dan Fogler discussed his approach to portraying The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola.
"He said to get 'The Godfather Notebook', which has Francis' thoughts in the margin of his genius book of Puzo's book. Reflecting on his first impression of Coppola from growing up watching Hearts of Darkness, the documentary film about the production of Apocalypse Now, Fogler said "This eccentric genius running around, (the) ringleader of this epic circus that he's creating. What sets this story apart are the players involved, and what sets this series apart are the portrayals of Hollywood's biggest names.
