Francis Ford Coppola is just days away from premiering his new movie 'Megalopolis' at the Cannes Film Festival, but the production has already been hit with controversy before it's even reached audiences.
The 85-year-old director is being accused of questionable behavior toward several female extras on the film set, with one witness claiming he even tried to kiss some of them.
"He came on set and tried to kiss some of the female extras who were topless or semi-naked," the source alleged, as quoted by the Mirror.
Coppola has since been defended by 'Megalopolis' producer Darren Demetre, who attempted to justify the behavior in question. "There were two days when we were shooting a Studio 54-type party scene where Francis was walking through the set to get the spirit of the scene going, and giving hugs and kisses on the cheek to the cast and background actors," he explained to The Guardian.
Demetre went on to say that these displays of affection "were in character for the film and were done to help inspire and create the nightclub atmosphere that was so essential to the movie."
The producer concluded by stating that he "was never made aware of any complaints of harassment or inappropriate behavior" and noted that he has worked with Francis Ford Coppola for some time.
Coppola, it's worth noting, has directed and produced such acclaimed films as 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Godfather' trilogy. He has yet to comment on the controversy.
