Actor Adam Driver, who is leading Francis Ford Coppola’s upcoming film Megalopolis, says his character’s traits are quite similar to the writer-director himself.

The upcoming sci-fi epic is Coppola’s passion project, which he has also self financed.

Megalopolis is believed to be set in a futuristic city much like the Roman Empire and follows an architect named Caesar (Driver), who wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster. According to the 40-year-old, Caesar’s struggles and philosophy mirror Coppola’s.
