Francis Ford Coppola is assuring audiences that “Megalopolis” was mega-fun to film, despite rumors of “chaos” on set.
The Oscar winner revealed in an interview with Deadline alongside Kevin Costner that he can understand the parallel between rumors surrounding the notorious production of “Apocalypse Now” and now, almost a half-century later, “Megalopolis.” The epic film, which Coppola has described as a futuristic “love story,” has a staggering reported $120 million-plus price tag that Coppola financed himself.
Production wrapped in March 2023 amid reports of creative unrest on the project, which stars Adam Driver, Shia Labeouf, Forest Whitaker, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Voight, Jason Schwartzman, and Dustin Hoffman.
“Well, ‘Apocalypse Now’ was out there being edited for months and months and months. And because it had been made in the Philippines, it was sort of mysterious,” Coppola said. “[With ‘Megalopolis’] it was much the same thing. A rumor starts out; there was a report about chaos.

San Francisco, Nov 14 (Ians) Apple continues to hire employees for its Ar (augmented reality)-Mr (mixed reality) headset project, which indicates that the operation is still active.

Unfortunately for G4, going woke didn’t result in success. Comcast has pulled the plug on the video-game-centric network less than a year after its relaunch. The news was confirmed following a memo that was sent out to all employees, with Spectacor CEO Dave Scott explaining that the company’s investment and efforts in trying to revive the network didn’t result in profitable gains. The news isn’t much of a shock as most of the staff at G4 was released in the summer and the departure of G4 president Russell Arons certainly spelled doom for the network. Earlier this year, G4 TV

G4, the Comcast Spectacor-owned cable channel dedicated to gaming, has shut down — again.
Dave Scott, the Comcast Spectacor chairman and CEO, broke the news to the G4 staff in a memo circulated on Sunday. (IndieWire obtained the note; it’s posted below.) Comcast Spectacor is the sports- and entertainment-focused subsidiary of Comcast that owns the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers and used to own the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. Forty-five staffers at G4 lost their jobs immediately as a result of the decision.
The shutdown comes just under a year since the channel’s relaunch last November. The channel’s relaunch — first announced in July 2020 — followed seven dormant years for the gaming channel, which first began in 2002. The early version of the network was operated by G4 Media, a joint venture between Comcast and NBC Universal Cable.
The channel ceased original programming in 2012, when NBC Universal signed a deal with...

Comcast is shuttering gaming network G4 for a second time.
In a memo sent Sunday, Dave Scott, chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor, the cable network’s sports and esports division, said the company was shutting down the network “effective immediately” due to low viewership numbers.
“Over the past several months, we worked hard to generate that interest in G4, but viewership is low and the network has not achieved sustainable financial results. This is certainly not what we hoped for, and, as a result, we have made the very difficult decision to discontinue G4’s operations, effective immediately,” Scott said in the memo.
G4 TV was originally launched in 2002 and then shut down in 2013. The network returned in July 2020 with online content, available on YouTube and Social Media, and then moved to linear TV, with shows available on Xfinity TV, Verizon Fios,...

Exclusive: Comcast’s Spectacor division is pulling the plug on video game-centric network G4 TV, whose early incarnation in the 2000s remains a cultural touchstone for many millennials, just a year after its relaunch.
In a memo set to be sent out to all employees, Spectacor CEO Dave Scott explained that the company’s investment and efforts to revive the network just didn’t gain traction.
A few dozen employees and contract workers are affected by the shutdown. Comcast said it will assist them with outplacement and consider some for internal opportunities.
The departure over the summer of Russell Arons, an experienced digital media exec who had come aboard as G4’s president in 2021, was a precursor to today’s news. Her duties were added to the portfolio of Joe Marsh, a Comcast Spectacor vet who has been CEO of T1, an international esports joint venture with Korea’s Sk Telecom.
