Movie City News was in attendance at the DGA special presentation for Francis Ford Coppola's upcoming "Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier" DVD and asked about his in the works projects:

"Coppola's most recent cut of "Youth Without Youth" comes in at 166 minutes, and editor Walter Murch is working on cutting it down right now. Coppola was very clear that he has no intention of making the release version of this movie anywhere near that length.

Coppola said quite clearly that Megalopolis is over... because, he says, he failed to lick the script, because the budget was too high for art financing and too small a film for franchise funding, and because over the decade he's been working on it, things have changed so much in the world that the script would need significant reworking.

Coppola is also 40 pages into his next screenplay, another personal film that he can self-finance".
