In this universe, Christianity does not exist

The city of New Rome is pitted against the duel between Cesar Catilina, a brilliant artist who espouses a utopian future, and the greedy mayor Franklyn Cicero. Between them is Julia Cicero, whose loyalties are divided between her father and her beloved. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay in the early 1980s, but the film was shelved, partly because of his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001 after filming 30 hours of second unit footage and holding a table read with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco and Kevin Spacey, but the project was abandoned after the September 11 attacks, because a scene in the script (page 166) “predicted” the attacks. Coppola completely abandoned the project in 2007 and only started developing it again in 2019. At 21:40, the character Catiline utters the phrase “Holy Jesus Christ!” in astonishment. Yet, within the universe, the city of New Rome comes from a culture based on Roman mythology (example: 54:47, the dedication to Vesta; 01:55:51, someone says “The will of Cronus”, or at 01:51; 56:49, a statue of Saturn is prominently displayed, while there are many other representations of Roman deities). There is no reason for Catiline to use the phrase “Holy Jesus Christ!” and in such a context…

Julia Cicero: Yeah

Caesar Catiline: *You* want to help me? Well, I… well, I want to learn. Cesar Catilina: And you think a year of… medical school gives you the right to delve into the riches of my Emersonian mind? Julia Cicero: Does that give me the right? Yes? Julia Cicero: [scoffs] Does it give me the right?

Cesar Catilina: Yes!

Julia Cicero: Does it give me the right? Cesar Catilina: YES! Julia Cicero: You have no idea about me! Cesar Catilina: No, not nothing, but I reserve my time for people who can think. About science. And literature, and… architecture and art. Do you think I’m cruel and selfish and insensitive?

Julia Cicero: Fine!

I am. I work without caring what happens to any of us. So go back to the club, bare it all and hunt down the kind of people you like. I will. Cesar Catiline: Come back when you have more time!. The “Ultimate IMAX” experience version of the film features a live actor asking questions during the filmed press conference Explained (2024). My PledgeWritten by Grace VanderWaalPerformed by Grace VanderWaalCourtesy of Columbia RecordsProduced and orchestrated by Kris Kukul. Full disclosure: This movie is a disaster of epic proportions: a real train wreck that goes off the tracks, crashes, and then somehow bursts into flames.

And you know what?

It’s so bad, it’s almost brilliant, the kind of so-horrible-it’s-brilliant nightmare that future cult fans will crave. I have so much respect for Coppola for that. The guy is a movie legend who just decided to throw caution (and coherence) to the wind and go completely mad scientist about it. This is a glorious, unfiltered mess from the mind of a genius who has clearly stopped caring what anyone else thinks. Well done, you magnificent madman! 👏🏻.
