Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola closed a decades-in-the-making chapter of his long career on Thursday as his passion project 'Megalopolis,' an epic science-fiction tale drawn from Roman history, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
Have YOU got a story? EmailAn extra allegedly kissed by director Francis Ford Coppola on the set of Megalopolis has broken her silence after shocking videos emerged.
Pagone said she decided to come forward when another extra seen in one of the two videos, Rayna Menz told Deadline the Oscar winner 'did nothing to make me or for that matter anyone on set feel uncomfortable. She said: 'I don’t appreciate anybody speaking for me. I would never speak for that actress. I’ve kept my mouth shut. I’ve kept quiet.
According to a call sheet reviewed by the publication - several actresses were cleared to go topless for the nightclub sequence. Pagone was not nude and wore a top with a plunging neckline. She told Variety : ' I was in shock. I didn’t expect him to kiss and hug me like that. I was caught off-guard. And I can tell you he came around a couple times.'; pictured May 17 in Cannes, France
The crew member that shot the video that Variety initially posted and who was on set during almost all of the shoot confirmed that Coppola kissed female extras during the New Year’s Eve sequence - and added it was one of 'several instances' in which he had kissed extras. They claimed that after multiple takes, Coppola got on a microphone and announced to everyone in the room: 'Sorry, if I come up to you and kiss you. Just know it’s solely for my pleasure.'This comes days after Menz wrote that Variety's story had a 'misleading headline' in an Instagram statement.
While speaking to Deadline , Menz claimed that the 85-year-old Oscar winner 'did nothing to make me or for that matter anyone on set feel uncomfortable' Closed sets are typically used in situations in which actors are filming nude scenes, or sometimes for particularly emotional scenes that may be disrupted by extraneous people on set.It's unclear if the person or persons who shot the videos were allowed to be on the allegedly closed set, and if there were any prohibitions against filming the shoot.
She met Coppola while working on the set of his feature directorial debut, the low-budget horror film Dementia 13 , and the two married later that year. She was best known for directing the classic documentary Hearts Of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, which took a behind-the-scenes look at Coppola's famously troubled production of Apocalypse Now.
