Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola taken to hospital in Italy for procedure
Francis Ford Coppola has been taken to an Italian hospital for a planned medical procedure, The Independent has learned. The legendary 86-year-old director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now had been in Calabria to present a screening of his controversial latest film Megalopolis. Coppola, whose wife Eleanor died last April at the age of 87, recently completed a tour of U.S. theaters where he has been screening Megalopolis in person. The film, which stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, and Shia LaBeouf, is a futuristic fable that draws parallels between modern day America and the fall of Rome. Critics were divided over the movie when it was released last September. Earlier this year, Coppola told GQ that he preferred to tour the film himself rather than release it on streaming or DVD. Asked why he hadn't approved a home release, Coppola responded: 'Because the film is still being shown in theaters. I don't want anyone to own it.' Francis Ford Coppola at Paris Fashion Week in June 2025 (Pascal) He continued: 'After the election, people are selling out screenings of Megalopolis —the way it was intended to be seen. Being that it was so prophetic or prescient to say America is like Rome—it's going to maybe lose its republic—now people are rushing to see it in theaters. 'We sold out three screenings in Boston recently, in Detroit, and people are really lining up. 'It's just like what happened with Apocalypse Now . Apocalypse Now was a big flop, it got terrible reviews, everyone said it was the worst movie ever made. And yet people never stopped going to see it. The same thing is now happening with Megalopolis.' In a three-star review for The Independent , Geoffrey McNab wrote: ' Megalopolis , Francis Ford Coppola's self-funded $120m (£94m) epic, certainly isn't another Godfather or Apocalypse Now , but it's at least bursting with ideas. 'The filmmaker spent decades trying to get Megalopolis off the ground. What if it was no good? And what to make of the many claims of chaos on its set? Ultimately, this isn't the car crash it could have been. It is, though, deeply flawed and very eccentric... Watch Apple TV+ free for 7 day New subscribers only. £8.99/mo. after free trial.

'Box office prospects for Megalopolis look wretched, though it will be no surprise at all if the film achieves cult status by dint of its wondrous oddity.'

Director Francis Ford Coppola doing 'fine' after cardiac procedure in Rome
LOS ANGELES, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Francis Ford Coppola, the acclaimed American director of "The Godfather" movies and "Apocalypse Now," underwent a non-emergency cardiac procedure in a Rome hospital and is doing fine, he and a U.S.-based representative said on Tuesday. "Mr. Coppola went in for a scheduled update procedure" performed by renowned Italian-born cardiologist Dr. Andrea Natale "and is resting nicely," the representative said in response to Italian media reports that the director was hospitalised. "All is well." Coppola, 86, has been a patient of Natale for more than 30 years, the representative said. The filmmaker was admitted on Tuesday to the Policlinico Tor Vergata, a public hospital in the Italian capital, news agency ANSA reported. The U.S.-based representative declined to give any details about the nature of Coppola's medical procedure, but said: "There was not an emergency. He went to the hospital in a car. He had a scheduled appointment." Coppola posted a photograph of himself on Instagram appearing relaxed and smiling with a message reassuring fans, "I am well." "Da Dada (what my kids call me) is fine, taking an opportunity while in Rome to do the update of my 30-year-old afib procedure with its inventor, a great Italian doctor - Dr. Andrea Natale," it said. He did not elaborate further. The term "a-fib" in medical parlance is short for atrial fibrillation, a type of abnormal heart rhythm. Natale, currently the executive director of the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute, is an electrophysiology specialist who pioneered several treatments and devices for the treatment of such disorders. Coppola was in Italy to promote his latest movie, the science-fiction epic "Megalopolis," a $120 million self-funded production about a visionary architect's quest to transform a futuristic version of New York City called New Rome into a utopian community. The film, which has drawn mixed reviews and struggled at the box office following its 2024 debut at the Cannes Film Festival, was reported to have received a special screening at the Magna Graecia Film Festival in Catanzaro, Italy. The Italian-American director has won five Academy Awards, four of them for his work on the first two films in "The Godfather" trilogy, widely considered by cinema buffs to rank among the greatest movies of all time.
