TORONTO – Giancarlo Esposito first read the script of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” more than two decades ago, and he says it somehow feels more relevant now.
The actor, who plays corrupt prosecutor-turned-mayor Francis Cicero in Coppola’s self-funded $120-million passion project, says that when he returned to the project decades later he marvelled that something so long in the making could remain so current.
