Home Actor Francis Ford Coppola HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers October 2023 Francis Ford Coppola Instagram - I was always delighted that my friend George Lucas supposedly based the iconic character of “Han Solo” on me.   To George, everything in his life was sort of the inspiration for what he used. His Alaska Malamute dog INDIANA used to sit next to him in his Camaro car and was the inspiration for the "Wookie" and later for “Indiana Jones.”   In 1973 a young carpenter was fitting a door for American Zoetrope at Goldwyn Studios when my colleague Fred Roos asked him to help out by reading the lines written for a film called “American Graffiti.” That carpenter was Harrison Ford.

Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – There are three somewhat independent efforts being created alongside @megalopolisfilm , which are:
 
1) A documentary about the ‘making of Megalopolis’ by esteemed director, Mike Figgis @figgismike
 
2) A novelization by the great Colleen McCullough (the photo is of the book that inspired me to write to her, from her series “Masters of Rome”). Novelizations are, in essence, book-length descriptions of movies, typically written not by the author of the screenplay. They are the complete opposite of the more familiar practice of turning a book into a movie. 
 
3) A graphic novel undertaken by Chris Ryall @chris_ryall .
 
All three projects are independent of me but based on my many scripts and ideas over the decades.
Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – Perhaps the most interesting aspect of @megalopolisfilm is it’s science, which is not fiction.

“In physics, a system is 100% efficient if it can use 100% of the energy inputted to perform some type of energy-intensive work.”

Photosynthesis is the only known process that does this, and is on the verge of being fully understood through quantum mechanics.

“In plants, nearly 100% of the incident photon energy from the Sun gets converted into electron energy which eventually powers the production of sugar: the photosynthetic process.”

How is that possible?

If we can learn Nature’s secret all around us, our relationship with plant life will be multiplied incredibly. So when plant life becomes our form of architecture, which it will — it is almost hard to imagine the change, because all life will benefit, and dangerous issues of climate, food, and population balance will begin to disappear. 

That is the scientific vision of what @megalopolisfilm is proposing.
