Even when legendary director Francis Ford Coppola tried to continue holding panels for his new film, megalopolisIn orbit, fervently anti-Trump actor Robert De Niro claimed he would go off the rails to attack the former president.

During a question-and-answer session Monday as part of the New York Film Festival, Coppola spoke about the film's theme of urban decay and rebuilding, but De Niro used the discussion as a pretext to argue for the 2024 election. I rushed in right away.
“I'm worried. I see some of that and similarities in Francis' films.” raging bull star rail. “For me, it's not over until it's over. We have to go all in to defeat the Republican Party — that Republican Party, they're not the real Republican Party. Defeat Trump. It's that simple. We can't let someone else run this country. Everyone has to go to the polls and vote, and we have to define what America is.”
Coppola desperately tried to get the event off the ground to promote the film, but neither Ni Niro nor director Spike Lee were interested in speaking. megalopoliswanted to target Trump and the Republican Party instead.
