Ancient Rome + Futuristic NYC = "Megalopolis"

Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola has a new movie coming out about how a disaster ruins a huge city, and how the forces of progess fight the forces of regression in their attempts to rebuild it.

Hence they battle for the future of this Megalopolis -- a city that has the power structure of Ancient Rome but with the whiz-bang technology of a futuristic NYC. 

It's a high-concept "fable" about the forces that tear apart humanity. Seems especially relevant now -- and I can't wait to see it!
