Following the recent press conference unveiling the Cannes lineup, festival director Thierry Fremaux addressed various key topics, including the highly anticipated film 'Megalopolis' by Francis Ford Coppola. The 135-minute epic, with a budget of $120 million and starring Adam Driver, has been selected to compete at the Cannes Film Festival but currently lacks a distribution deal in France.
Fremaux noted that while it's not uncommon for films in the official section to lack distribution, the situation with 'Megalopolis' could potentially become problematic. The absence of a French theatrical distribution deal may clash with Cannes' rule requiring all competition films to have such an arrangement.
