T💦he sprawling cast also stars Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, a🥂nd Jason Schwartzman. In a statement accompanying the first look, Coppola shared that he’s been working on the film for 23 years (not the 40 that’s often reported) and it’s heavily inspired by ancient Rome. 

"Ultimately, after a lot of time, I settled on the idea of a Roman epic," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Apocalypse Now director Coppola says. "And then later, a Roman e♓pic set in modern America, so I really only began writing this script, on and off, in the last dozen years or so. Also, as I have made many films of manyꦆ different subjects and in many different styles, I hoped for a project later in life when I might better understand what my personal style was."

Early 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:leaked reactions to the film from an industry screening have been divisiveജ. One vie🥀wer shared that it was "unflinching in how batshit it is" while another said the ending is "baffling". It will debut at the Cannes Film Festival in a few weeks when the first official reviews will be released ahead of its expected release later this year.
