Sweeney, and Dustin Hoffman. Directed, written, and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, the film unfolds as a Roman epic tale in a reimagined modern America.
In the City of New Rome, an imminent transformation sparks conflict between two visionaries: Cesar Catilina, a brilliant artist aspiring to create a utopian, idealistic future, and Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who clings to a regressive status quo driven by greed, special interests, and partisan strife. Caught in the crossfire is Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter and a socialite whose love for Cesar forces her to confront her loyalties and question what humanity truly deserves.
The production team includes Fred Roos, Barry Hirsch, and Michael Bederman, along with executive producers Anahid Nazarian, Barrie Osborne, and Darren Demetre.
