Megalopolis is the American director's first film in more than a decade.
US film director Francis Ford Coppola is accused of trying to kiss scantily clad extras while filming a nightclub sequence.
In response, a representative for the American director referred to a statement from executive producer Darren Demetre, published by The Hollywood Reporter, in which he said, “I was never aware of any complaints of harassment or ill behaviour during the course of the project.” The article focused largely on the movie’s unusual production conditions and, citing an unnamed crew member, said that Coppola stayed in his trailer for hours at a time, delaying filming.
The Guardian’s report was published in advance of the film’s premiere in the Cannes competition on May 16, where the stakes are high since the movie has yet to find US distribution.
