“Sorry, if I come up to you and kiss you,” director Francis Ford Coppola boomed into a microphone on the set of his new film Megalopolis, according to an unnamed source who was there. “Just know it’s solely for my pleasure.”
On Friday, Variety published two exclusive video clips leaked from the set of that much-maligned epic that show the 85-year-old filmmaker walking up to a scantily clad background actor and kissing her on the mouth.
The Guardian previously reported witnesses who saw Coppola act in this inappropriate way during the film’s nightclub scene and quoted him as saying he was “trying to get them in the mood.”
