Francis Ford Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola (US: /kopl/; born April 7, 1939), also credited as
Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Coppola, is an American film director, producer, screenwriter and film
composer. He was a central figure in theNew Hollywood wave of filmmaking.

After directing The Rain People (1969), he co-wrote the 1970 film Patton, earning
the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay along with co-writer Edmund H.
North. His directorial prominence was cemented with the release in 1972 of The
Godfather, a film which revolutionized movie-making in the gangster genre,[1]
earning praise from both critics and the public before winning three Academy
Awardsincluding his second Oscar (Best Adapted Screenplay, with Mario Puzo),
Best Picture, and his first nomination forBest Director.

He followed with The Godfather Part II in 1974, which became the first sequel to Coppola at the 2011 San Diego
win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Highly regarded by critics, it brought him Comic-Con International
three more Academy Awards: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best
Born April 7, 1939
Picture, and made him the second director, after Billy Wilder, to be honored three
Detroit, Michigan,
times for the same film. The Conversation, which he directed, produced and wrote,
U.S.
was released that same year, winning the Palme d'Or at the 1974 Cannes Film
Festival. He next directed 1979's Apocalypse Now. While notorious for its lengthy Residence Napa Valley,
and strenuous production, the film is widely acclaimed for its vivid and stark California, U.S.
depiction of the Vietnam War. It won the Palme d'Or at the 1979 Cannes Film Education Great Neck North
Festival, making Coppola one of only eight filmmakers to win two Palme d'Or High School
awards. Alma mater Hofstra University

While a number of Coppola's ventures in the1980s and 1990s were critically lauded,
he has never quite achieved the same commercial success with films as in the Occupation Film director,

Early life
Coppola was born in Detroit, Michigan, to father Carmine Coppola (19101991),[5] a flautist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra,
and mother Italia Coppola (ne Pennino; 19122004). Coppola is the middle of three children: his older brother was August Coppola,
his younger sister is actressTalia Shire. Born into a family of Italian immigrant ancestry
, his paternal grandparents came to the United
States from Bernalda, Basilicata.[6] His maternal grandfather, popular Italian composer Francesco Pennino, immigrated from Naples,
Italy.[7] Coppola received his middle name in honor of Henry Ford, not only because he was born in the Henry Ford Hospital but also
because of his musician-father's association with the automobile manufacturer. At the time of Coppola's birth, his father was a flautist
as well as arranger and assistant orchestra director for The Ford Sunday Evening Hour, an hour-long concert music radio series
sponsored by the Ford Motor Company.[8][9][10] Two years after Coppola's birth, his father was named principal flautist for the NBC
Symphony Orchestra and the family moved to New York, settling in Woodside, Queens, where Coppola spent the remainder of his
childhood.

Having contracted polio as a boy, Coppola was bedridden for large periods of his childhood, allowing him to indulge his imagination
with homemade puppet theater productions. Reading A Streetcar Named Desire at age 15 was instrumental in developing his interest
in theater.[11] Eager to be involved in film-craft, he created 8mm features edited from home movies with such titles as The Rich
Millionaire and The Lost Wallet.[12] As a child, Coppola was a mediocre student, but he was so interested in technology and
engineering that his friends nicknamed him "Science".[13] Trained initially for a career in music, he became proficient on the tuba
and won a music scholarship to the New York Military Academy.[12] Overall, Coppola attended 23 other schools[14] before he
eventually graduated from the Great Neck North High School.[15] He entered Hofstra College in 1955 with a major in theater arts.
There he was awarded a scholarship in playwriting. This furthered his interest in directing theater despite the disapproval of his
father, who wanted him to study engineering.[16] Coppola was profoundly impressed after seeing Sergei Eisenstein's October: Ten
Days That Shook the World, especially with the movie's quality of editing. It was at this time Coppola decided he would go into
cinema rather than theater.[16] Coppola says he was tremendously influenced to become a writer early on by his brother, August,[14]
in whose footsteps he would also follow by attending both of his brother's alma maters: Hofstra and UCLA. Coppola also gives credit
to the work of Elia Kazan and for its influence on him as a director.[14] Amongst Coppola's classmates at Hofstra were James Caan,
Lainie Kazan and radio artist Joe Frank.[15][17] He later cast Lainie Kazan in One from the Heart and Caan in The Rain People and
The Godfather.

While pursuing his bachelor's degree, Coppola was elected president of the university's drama group, The Green Wig, and its musical
comedy club, the Kaleidoscopians. He then merged the two into The Spectrum Players and under his leadership, they staged a new
production each week. Coppola also founded the cinema workshop at Hofstra and contributed prolifically to the campus literary
magazine.[12] He won three D. H. Lawrence Awards for theatrical production and direction and received a Beckerman Award for his
outstanding contributions to the school's theater arts division.[18] While a graduate student, one of his teachers was Dorothy Arzner,
.[11]
whose encouragement Coppola later acknowledged as pivotal to his film career

Career

1960s
After earning his theater arts degree from Hofstra in 1960, Coppola enrolled in UCLA Film School for graduate work in film.[12][19]
There he directed a short horror film called The Two Christophers inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "William Wilson", and Ayamonn the
Terrible, a film about a sculptor's nightmares coming to life,[13] before directing the experimental softcore comedy Tonight for Sure
in 1962.[15]

At UCLA, Coppola metJim Morrison. He later used Morrison's song "The End" in Apocalypse Now.[20]

The company that hired him for Tonight for Sure brought him back to re-cut a German film titled Mit Eva fing die Snde an directed
by Fritz Umgelter. He added some new 3-D color footage and earned a writer's and director's credit for The Bellboy and the
Playgirls, also a box-office failure. Coppola was hired as an assistant by Roger Corman and his first job for Corman was to dub and
re-edit a Russian science fiction film,Nebo zovyot, which he turned into a sex-and-violence monster movie entitled Battle Beyond the
Sun, released in 1962.[15][21] Impressed by Coppola's perseverance and dedication, Corman hired him as dialogue director on Tower
of London (1962), sound man forThe Young Racers (1963) and associate producer ofThe Terror (1963).[18]

While on location in Ireland for The Young Racers in 1963, Corman, ever alert for an opportunity to produce a decent movie on a
shoestring budget, persuaded Coppola to make a low-budget horror movie with funds left over from the movie.[18] Coppola wrote a
brief draft story idea in one night, incorporating elements from Hitchcock's Psycho,[22] and the result impressed Corman enough to
give him the go-ahead. On a budget of $40,000 ($20,000 from Corman and $20,000 from another producer who wanted to buy the
movie's English rights),[22] Coppola directed in a period of nine days Dementia 13, his first feature from his own screenplay. The
film recouped its expenses and later became a cult film among horror buffs. It was on the sets of Dementia 13 that he met his future
wife Eleanor Jessie Neil.

In 1965, Coppola won the annual Samuel Goldwyn Award for the best screenplay (Pilma, Pilma) written by a UCLA student.[12]
This secured him a job as a scriptwriter with Seven Arts. In between, he co-wrote the scripts for This Property Is Condemned (1966)
and Is Paris Burning? (1966). However, with fame still eluding him and partly out of desperation, Coppola bought the rights to the
David Benedictus novel You're a Big Boy Now and fused it with a story idea of his own, resulting in You're a Big Boy Now (1966).
This was his UCLA thesis project that also received a theatrical release via Warner Bros.[15] This movie brought him some critical
acclaim and eventually his Master of Fine Arts Degree fromUCLA School of Theater, Film and Television in 1967.[18][23]

Following the success of You're a Big Boy Now, Coppola was offered the reins of the movie version of the Broadway musical
Finian's Rainbow, starring Petula Clark in her first American film and veteran Fred Astaire. Producer Jack L. Warner was nonplussed
by Coppola's shaggy-haired, bearded, "hippie" appearance and generally left him to his own devices. He took his cast to the Napa
Valley for much of the outdoor shooting, but these scenes were in sharp contrast to those obviously filmed on a Hollywood
soundstage, resulting in a disjointed look to the film. Dealing with outdated material at a time when the popularity of film musicals
was already on the downslide, Coppola's result was only semi-successful, but his work with Clark no doubt contributed to her Golden
Globe Best Actress nomination. The film introduced to him George Lucas, who became his lifelong friend as well as production
assistant in his next film The Rain People in 1969. It was written, directed and initially produced by Coppola himself, though as the
movie advanced, he exceeded his budget and the studio had to underwrite the remainder of the movie.[15] The film won the Golden
Shell at the 1969 San Sebastian Film Festival.

In 1969, Coppola took it upon himself to subvert the studio system which he felt had stifled his visions, intending to produce
mainstream pictures to finance off-beat projects and give first-time directors their chance to direct. He decided he would name his
future studio "Zoetrope" after receiving a gift of zoetropes from Mogens Scot-Hansen, founder of a studio called Lanterna Film and
owner of a famous collection of early motion picture-making equipment. While touring Europe, Coppola was introduced to
alternative filmmaking equipment and inspired by the bohemian spirit of Lanterna Film, he decided he would build a deviant studio
that would conceive and implement creative, unconventional approaches to filmmaking. Upon his return home, Coppola and George
Lucas searched for a mansion in Marin County to house the studio. However, in 1969, with equipment flowing in and no mansion
found yet, the first home for Zoetrope Studio became a warehouse in San Francisco on Folsom Street.[24] The studio went on to
become an early adopter of digital filmmaking, including some of the earliest uses of HDTV. In his book The American Cinema,
Andrew Sarris wrote, "[Coppola] is probably the first reasonably talented and sensibly adaptable directorial talent to emerge from a
[25]
university curriculum in film-making... [He] may be heard from more decisively in the future."

1970s
Coppola epitomized a group of filmmakers known as the "New Hollywood" that emerged in the early 1970s with ideas that
challenged conventional film-making. The group included Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma, Terrence Malick,
Robert Altman, Woody Allen, William Friedkin, Philip Kaufman and George Lucas.[15][26]

Patton (1970)
Coppola co-wrote the script for Patton in 1970 along with Edmund H. North. This earned him his first Academy Award for Best
Original Screenplay. However, it was not easy for Coppola to convince Franklin J. Schaffner that the opening scene would work.
Coppola later revealed in an interview:[27]

I wrote the script of Patton. And the script was very controversial
when I wrote it, because they thought it was so stylized. It was
supposed to be like, sort of, you know, The Longest Day. And my
script of Patton wasI was sort of interested in the reincarnation.
And I had this very bizarre opening where he stands up in front of an
 American flag and gives this speech. Ultimately, I wasn't fired, but I
was fired, meaning that when the script was done, they said, "Okay,
thank you very much," and they went and hired another writer and
that script was forgotten. And I remember very vividly this long,
kind of being raked over the coals for this opening scene.

"When the title role was offered to George C. Scott, he remembered having read
Coppola's screenplay earlier. He stated flatly that he would accept the part only if
they used Coppola's script. 'Scott is the one who resurrected my version,' says
Coppola."[28]

The movie opens with Scott's rendering of Patton's famous military "Pep Talk" to
members of the Third Army, set against a huge American flag. Coppola and North
had to tone down Patton's actual language to avoid an R rating; in the opening
monologue, the word "fornicating" replaced "fucking" when criticizingThe Saturday
Evening Post. Over the years, this opening monologue has become an iconic scene Coppola in 1976

and has spawned parodies in numerous films, political cartoons and television
shows.

The Godfather (1972)

The release of The Godfather in 1972 was a milestone in cinema. The near 3-hour-long epic, which chronicled the saga of the
Corleone family, received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and fetched Coppola the Academy Award for Best Adapted
Screenplay, which he shared with Mario Puzo and two Golden Globe Awards: for Best Director and Best Screenplay. However,
Coppola faced several difficulties while filming The Godfather. He was not Paramount's first choice to direct the movie; Italian
director Sergio Leone was initially offered the job, but declined in order to direct his own gangster opus, Once Upon a Time in
America.[29] Peter Bogdanovich was then approached but he also declined the offer and made What's Up, Doc? instead; Bogdanovich
has often said that he would have cast Edward G. Robinson in the lead had he accepted the film. According to Robert Evans, head of
Paramount Pictures at the time, Coppola also did not initially want to direct the film because he feared it would glorify the Mafia and
violence and thus reflect poorly on his Sicilian and Italian heritage; on the other hand, Evans specifically wanted an Italian-American
to direct the film because his research had shown that previous films about the Mafia that were directed by non-Italians had fared
dismally at the box office and he wanted to, in his own words, "smell the spaghetti". When Coppola hit upon the idea of making it a
metaphor for American capitalism, however,he eagerly agreed to take the helm.[30]

There was disagreement between Paramount and Coppola on the issue of casting; Coppola stuck to his plan of casting
Marlon Brando
as Vito Corleone, though Paramount wanted either Ernest Borgnine or Danny Thomas. At one point, Coppola was told by the then-
president of Paramount that "Marlon Brando will never appear in this motion picture". After pleading with the executives, Coppola
was allowed to cast Brando only if he appeared in the film for much less salary than his previous films, perform a screen-test and put
up a bond saying that he would not cause a delay in the production (as he had done on previous film sets).[31] Coppola chose Brando
over Ernest Borgnine on the basis of Brando's screen test, which also won over the Paramount leadership. Brando later won an
[22]
Academy Award for his portrayal, which he refused to accept. Coppola would later recollect:

The Godfather was a very unappreciated movie when we were making it. They were very unhappy with it. They
didn't like the cast. They didn't like the way I was shooting it. I was always on the verge of getting fired. So it was an
extremely nightmarish experience. I had two little kids, and the third one was born during that. We lived in a little
apartment, and I was basically frightened that they didn't like it. They had as much as said that, so when it was all
over I wasn't at all confident that it was going to be successful, and that I'd ever get another job.
After it was released, the film received widespread praise. It went on to win multiple awards, including Academy Award for Best
Adapted Screenplay for Coppola. The film routinely features at the top in various polls for the greatest movies ever. It has been
selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. In addition, it was ranked third, behind Citizen Kane, and
Casablanca on the initial AFI's 100 Years100 Movies list by the American Film Institute. It was moved up to second when the list
was published again, in 2008.[32] Director Stanley Kubrick believed that The Godfather was possibly the greatest movie ever made
and had without question the best cast.[33]

The Conversation (1974)

Coppola's next film, The Conversation, further cemented his position as one of the most talented auteurs of Hollywood.[34] The
movie was partly influenced by Michelangelo Antonioni's Blowup (1966)[35] and generated much interest when news leaked that the
film utilized the very same surveillance and wire-tapping equipment that members of the Nixon administration used to spy on
political opponents prior to the Watergate scandal. Coppola insisted that this was purely coincidental. The script for The
Conversation, was completed in the mid-1960s (before the election of Richard Nixon); the spying equipment used in the film was
developed through research and use of technical advisers and not by newspaper stories about the Watergate break-in. However, the
audience interpreted the film to be a reaction to both the Watergate scandal and its fallout. The movie was a critical success and
Coppola won his firstPalme d'Or at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival.

The Great Gatsby (1974)

During the filming of The Conversation, Coppola wrote the screenplay for The Great Gatsby. However, in the commentary track to
[36]
the DVD of The Godfather Coppola states, "I don't think that script was [actually] made."

The Godfather Part II (1974)

Coppola shot The Godfather Part II parallel to The Conversation and it was the last major American motion picture to be filmed in
Technicolor. George Lucas commented on the film after its five-hour-long preview, telling Coppola: "You have two films. Take one
away, it doesn't work", referring to the movie's portrayal of two parallel storylines; one of a young Vito Corleone and the other of his
son Michael. In the director's commentary on the DVD edition of the film (released in 2002), Coppola states that this film was the
first major motion picture to use "Part II" in its title. Paramount was initially opposed to his decision to name the movie The
Godfather Part II. According to Coppola, the studio's objection stemmed from the belief that audiences would be reluctant to see a
film with such a title, as the audience would supposedly believe that, having already seen The Godfather, there was little reason to
see an addition to the original story. However, the success of The Godfather Part II began the Hollywood tradition of numbered
sequels. The movie was released in 1974 and went on to receive tremendous critical acclaim, with many deeming it superior to its
predecessor.[37] It was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and received 6 Oscars, including 3 for Coppola: Best Picture, Best
Adapted Screenplay andBest Director.

The Godfather Part II is ranked as the #1 greatest movie of all time in TV Guide's "50 Best Movies of All Time"[38] and is ranked at
#7 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the "100 Greatest Movies of All Time".[39] The film is also featured on movie critic Leonard
Maltin's list of the "100 Must-See Films of the 20th Century",[40] as well as Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" list.[41] It was also
[42]
featured on Sight & Sound's list of the ten greatest films of all time in 2002, ranking at #4.

Coppola was the third director to have two nominations for Best Picture in the same year. Victor Fleming was the first in 1939 with
Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz; Alfred Hitchcock repeated the feat the next year with Foreign Correspondent and
Rebecca. Since Coppola, two other directors have done the same: Herbert Ross in 1977 with The Goodbye Girl and The Turning
Point, and Steven Soderbergh in 2000 with Erin Brockovich and Traffic. Coppola, however, is the only one to have produced the
pictures.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Following the success of The Godfather, The Conversation and The Godfather Part II, Coppola began filming Apocalypse Now, an
adaptation of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness set in Cambodia during the Vietnam War (Coppola himself briefly appears as a TV
news director). The production of the film was plagued by numerous problems, including typhoons, nervous breakdowns, the firing
of Harvey Keitel, Martin Sheen's heart attack, extras from the Philippine military and half of the supplied helicopters leaving in the
middle of scenes to go fight rebels and an unprepared Brando with a bloated appearance (which Coppola attempted to hide by
shooting him in the shadows). It was delayed so often it was nicknamed Apocalypse When?[43] The 1991 documentary film Hearts of
Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, directed by Eleanor Coppola (Francis's wife), Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper, chronicles
the difficulties the crew went through making Apocalypse Now and features behind-the-scenes footage filmed by Eleanor. After
filming Apocalypse Now, Coppola famously stated:[44] "We were in the jungle, there were too many of us, we had access to too much
money, too much equipment and little by little, we went insane."

The film was overwhelmingly lauded by critics when it finally appeared in 1979 and was selected for the 1979 Cannes Film Festival,
winning the Palme d'Or along with The Tin Drum, directed by Volker Schlndorff. When the film screened at Cannes, he quipped:[43]
"My film is not about Vietnam, it is Vietnam." Apocalypse Now's reputation has grown in time and it is now regarded by many as a
masterpiece of the New Hollywood era and is frequently cited as one of the greatest movies ever made.[15][45][46][47] Roger Ebert
considers it to be the finest film on the Vietnam War and included it in his list for the 2002 Sight & Sound critics' poll of the greatest
movies ever made.[48][49]

In 2001, Coppola re-released Apocalypse Now as Apocalypse Now Redux, restoring several sequences lost from the original 1979 cut
of the film, thereby expanding its length to 200 minutes.

1980s

One from the Heart (1982)

Apocalypse Now marked the end of the golden phase of Coppola's career.[15] His musical fantasy One from the Heart, although
pioneering the use of video-editing techniques which are standard practice in the film industry today, ended with a disastrous box-
office gross of $636,796 against a US$26 million budget,[50] far from enough to recoup the costs incurred in the production of the
[18] He would spend the rest of the decade working to pay of
movie and he was forced to sell his 23-acre Zoetrope Studio in 1983. f his
debts. (Zoetrope Studios finally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1990, after which its name was changed to American
Zoetrope).[15]

Hammett (1982)
Following the disastrous One from the Heart, Coppola co-directed Hammett along with Wim Wenders in the same year. Although
Coppola was not credited for his effort, according to one source, "by the time the final version was released in 1982, only 30 percent
of Wenders' footage remained and the rest was completely reshot by Coppola, whose mere 'executive producer' credit is just a
technicality."[51]

The Outsiders (1983)

In 1983, he directed The Outsiders, a film adaptation of the novel of the same name by S. E. Hinton. Coppola credited his inspiration
for making the film to a suggestion from middle school students who had read the novel. The Outsiders is notable for being the
breakout film for a number of young actors who would go on to become major stars. These included major roles for Matt Dillon,
Ralph Macchio and C. Thomas Howell. Also in the cast were Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lane and Tom
Cruise. Matt Dillon and several others also starred in Coppola's related film, Rumble Fish, which was also based on a S. E. Hinton
novel and filmed at the same time as The Outsiders on-location in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Carmine Coppola wrote and edited the musical
score, including the title song "Stay Gold", which was based upon a famous Robert Frost poem and performed for the movie by
Stevie Wonder. The film was a moderate box-office success, drawing a revenue of $25 million[52] against a budget of $10
million.[53]
Rumble Fish (1983)
Rumble Fish was based on the novel of the same name by S. E. Hinton, who also co-wrote the screenplay. Shot in black-and-white as
an homage to German expressionist films, Rumble Fish centres on the relationship between a revered former gang leader (Mickey
Rourke) and his younger brother, Rusty James (Matt Dillon). The film bombed at the box office, earning a meagre $2.5 million
against a budget of $10 million[54] and once again aggravated Coppola's financial troubles.

The Cotton Club (1984)

In 1984 Coppola directed theRobert Evans-produced The Cotton Club. The film was nominated for several awards, including Golden
Globes for Best Director and Best Picture (Drama) and the Oscars for Best Film Editing and Best Art-Direction. However, the film
failed miserably at the box-office, recouping only $25.9 million of the $47.9 million privately invested by brothers Fred and Ed
Doumani.[34]

Rip Van Winkle (1984)

The same year he directed an episode of Faerie Tale Theatre entitled Rip Van Winkle, where Harry Dean Stanton played the lead
role.[55][56]

Captain EO (1986)
In 1986, Coppola directed Captain EO, a 17-minute space fantasy for Disney theme parks executive produced by George Lucas,
starring singer Michael Jackson.

Peggy Sue Got Married(1986)

In 1986 Coppola released the comedy Peggy Sue Got Married starring Kathleen Turner, Coppola's nephew Nicolas Cage, and Jim
Carrey. Much like The Outsiders and Rumble Fish, Peggy Sue Got Married centered around teenage youth. The film earned Coppola
positive feedback and provided Kathleen Turner her first and only Oscar nomination. It was the first box-office success for Coppola
since Apocalypse Now[57] and the film ranked number 17 onEntertainment Weekly's list of "50 Best High School Movies".[58]

Gardens of Stone (1987)

The following year, Coppola re-teamed with James Caan for Gardens of Stone, but the film was overshadowed by the death of
Coppola's eldest son Gian-Carlo Coppola during the film's production. The movie was not a critical success and performed poorly at
the box office, earning only $5.6 million against abudget of $13 million.[59]

Tucker: The Man and His Dream(1988)

Coppola directed Tucker: The Man and His Dream the following year. A biopic based on the life of Preston Tucker and his attempt to
produce and market the Tucker '48, Coppola had originally conceived the project as a musical with Marlon Brando after the release
of The Godfather Part II. Ultimately it was Jeff Bridges who played the role of Preston Tucker. Budgeted at $24 million, the film
received positive reviews and earned three nominations at the 62nd Academy Awards, although its $19.65 million box office was a
disappointment. Two awards came its way: Martin Landau won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and Dean Tavoularis
took BAFTA's honors for Best Production Design.

New York Stories (1989)

In 1989 Coppola teamed up with fellow Oscar-winning directors Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen for an anthology film called New
York Stories. Coppola directed the Life Without Zo segment, starring his sister Talia Shire and also co-wrote the film with his
daughter Sofia Coppola. Life Without Zo was mostly panned by critics and was generally considered the segment that brought the
film's overall quality down.[60][61] Hal Hinson of The Washington Post wrote a particularly scathing review, stating that "It's
impossible to know what Francis Coppola's Life Without Zo is. Co-written with his daughter Sofia, the film is a mystifying
[62]
embarrassment; it's by far the director's worst work yet."

1990s

The Godfather Part III(1990)

In 1990, he released the third and final chapter of The Godfather series: The Godfather Part
III. While not as critically acclaimed as the first two films,[63][64][65] it was still a box office
success, earning a revenue of $136 million against a budget of $54 million.[66] Some
reviewers criticized the casting of Coppola's daughter Sofia, who had stepped into the leading
role of Mary Corleone which had been abandoned by Winona Ryder just as filming began.[63]
Despite this, The Godfather Part III went on to gather 7 Academy Award nominations,
including Best Director and Best Picture. The film failed to win any of these awards, the only
film in the trilogy not to do so.

Bram Stoker's Dracula(1992)

In 1992, Coppola directed and produced Bram Stoker's Dracula. Adapted from Bram Stoker's
novel, it was intended to be more faithful to the book than previous film adaptations.[67]

Anthony Hopkins in supporting roles. The movie became a box-office hit, grossing
$82,522,790 domestically, making it the 15th highest-grossing film of the year.[68] It fared
even better overseas grossing $133,339,902 for a total worldwide gross of $215,862,692 against a budget of $40 million,[69] making
it the 9th highest-grossing film of the year worldwide.[70] The film won Academy Awards for Costume Design, Makeup and Sound
Editing.

Jack (1996)
Coppola's next project wasJack, which was released on August 9, 1996. It starred Robin Williams as Jack Powell, a ten-year-old boy
whose cells are growing at four times the normal rate, so at the age of ten he looks like a 40-year-old man. With Diane Lane, Brian
Kerwin and Bill Cosby, Jack also featured Jennifer Lopez, Fran Drescher and Michael McKean in supporting roles. Although a
moderate box-office success, grossing $58 million domestically on an estimated $45 million budget, it was panned by critics, many
of whom disliked the film's abrupt contrast between actual comedy and tragic melodrama. It was also unfavourably compared with
the 1988 film Big, in which Tom Hanks also played a child in a grown man's body. Most critics felt that the screenplay was poorly
written, not funny and the dramatic material was unconvincing and unbelievable. Other critics felt that Coppola was too talented to be
making this type of film. Although ridiculed for making the film, Coppola has defended it, saying he is not ashamed of the final cut
of the movie. He had been friends with Robin Williams for many years and had always wanted to work with him as an actor. When
Williams was offered the screenplay forJack, he said he would only agree to do it if Coppola agreed to sign on as director
.

The Rainmaker (1997)

The last film Coppola directed in the 90s, The Rainmaker, was based on the 1995 novel of the same name by John Grisham. An
ensemble courtroom drama, the film was well received by critics, earning an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[71] Roger Ebert gave
The Rainmaker three stars out of four, remarking: "I have enjoyed several of the movies based on Grisham novels... but I've usually
seen the storyteller's craft rather than the novelist's art being reflected. By keeping all of the little people in focus, Coppola shows the
variety of a young lawyer's life, where every client is necessary and most of them need a lot more than a lawyer."[72] James
Berardinelli also gave the film three stars out of four, saying that "the intelligence and subtlety of The Rainmaker took me by
surprise" and that the film "stands above any other filmed Grisham adaptation".[73] Grisham said of the film, "To me it's the best
adaptation of any of [my books]... I love the movie. It's so well done."[74] The film grossed about $45 million domestically.[75] This
would be more than the estimated production budget of $40 million, but a disappointment compared with previous films adapted
from Grisham novels.

Pinocchio dispute with Warner Bros.

In the late 1980s, Coppola started considering concepts for a motion picture based upon the 19th century novel The Adventures of
Pinocchio and in 1991, Coppola and Warner Bros. began discussing the project as well as two others involving the life of J. Edgar
Hoover and the children's novel The Secret Garden. These discussions led to negotiations for Coppola to both produce and direct the
Pinocchio project for Warners, as well as The Secret Garden (which was made in 1993 and produced by American Zoetrope, but
directed by Agnieszka Holland) and Hoover, which never came to fruition. (A film was eventually to be made by Clint Eastwood in
2011 as J. Edgar, which was distributed by Warners.)

But, in mid-1991, Coppola and Warners came to disagreement over the compensation to be paid to Coppola for his directing services
on Pinocchio.[76] The parties deferred this issue and finally a settlement was reached in 1998, when the jurors in the resultant court
case awarded Coppola $20 million as compensation for losing the Pinocchio film project. However, they also awarded him a further
$60 million in punitive damages on top, stemming from his charges that Warner Bros. sabotaged his intended version. This is the
largest civil financial verdict ever against a Hollywood studio.

Contact dispute with Carl Sagan/Warner Bros.

During the filming of Contact on December 28, 1996, Coppola filed a lawsuit against Carl Sagan and Warner Bros. Sagan had died a
week earlier[77][78] and Coppola claimed that Sagan's novel Contact was based on a story the pair had developed for a television
special back in 1975, titled First Contact.[77] Under their development agreement, Coppola and Sagan were to split proceeds from
the project with American Zoetrope and Children's Television Workshop Productions, as well as any novel Sagan would write. The
TV program was never produced, but in 1985, Simon & Schuster published Sagan's Contact and Warner Bros. moved forward with
development of a film adaptation. Coppola sought at least $250,000 in compensatory damages and an injunction against production
or distribution of the film.[77] Even though Sagan was shown to have violated some of the terms of the agreement, the case was
[79]
dismissed in February 1998 because Coppola had waited too long to file suit.

2000s

Youth Without Youth (2007)

After a 10-year hiatus, Coppola returned to directing with Youth Without Youth in 2007, based on the novella of the same name by
Romanian author Mircea Eliade. The film was poorly reviewed, currently holding a 30% 'rotten' rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[80] It
was made for about $19 million and was given a limited release, only managing $2,624,759 at the box-office.[81] As a result,
Coppola announced his plans to produce his own films in order to avoid the marketing input that goes into most films that results in
trying to make films appeal to too wide an audience.

Tetro (2009)
In 2009, Coppola releasedTetro. It was "set in Argentina, with the reunion of two brothers. The story follows the rivalries born out of
creative differences passed down through generations of an artistic Italian immigrant family."[82] The film received generally positive
reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the film has an average metascore of 63% based on 19 reviews.[83] Rotten Tomatoes reported
that 68% of critics gave positive reviews based on 71 reviews with an average score of 5.6/10.[84] Overall, the Rotten Tomatoes
consensus was: "A complex meditation on family dynamics, Tetro's arresting visuals and emotional core compensate for its uneven
narrative."[84] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 stars, praising the film for being "boldly operatic, involving
family drama, secrets, generations at war, melodrama, romance and violence". Ebert also praised Vincent Gallo's performance and
claimed that Alden Ehrenreich is "the new Leonardo DiCaprio".[85] Todd McCarthy of Variety gave the film a B+ judging that "when
Coppola finds creative nirvana, he frequently has trouble delivering the full goods."[86] Richard Corliss of TIME gave the film a
mixed review, praising Ehrenreich's performance, but claiming Coppola "has made a
movie in which plenty happens, but nothing rings true."[87] It has made $2,636,774
worldwide,[88] against a budget of $5,000,000.[89]

2010s

Twixt (2011)
Twixt, starring Val Kilmer, Elle Fanning, Joanne Whalley and Bruce Dern and
narrated by Tom Waits, was released to film festivals in late 2011[90] and was
released theatrically in early 2012. It received critical acclaim in France,[91] but
mostly negative reviews elsewhere.[92]

The live cinema project had a limited screening on June 5, 2015.

Commercial ventures

American Zoetrope
In 1971, Coppola and George Lucas co-produced the latter's first film, THX 1138. Shortly after completion of production they
brought the finished film to Warner Bros., along with several other scripts for potential projects at their newly founded company,
American Zoetrope. However, studio executives strongly disliked all the scripts, including THX and demanded that Coppola repay
the $300,000 they had loaned him for the Zoetrope studio, as well as insisting on cutting five minutes from the film. The debt nearly
closed Zoetrope and forced Coppola to reluctantly focus onThe Godfather.[2]

Zoetrope Virtual Studio

His company American Zoetrope also administers the Zoetrope Virtual Studio, a complete motion picture production studio for
members only. Launched in June 2000, the culmination of more than four years work, it brings together departments for
screenwriters, directors, producers and other filmmaker artists, plus new departments for other creative endeavours. Filmmaker
members can workshop a wide range of film arts, including music, graphics, design and film and video.

Inglenook Winery
Coppola, with his family, expanded his business ventures to include winemaking in California's Napa Valley, when in 1975 he
purchased the former home and adjoining vineyard of Gustave Niebaum in Rutherford, California using proceeds from the first
movie in the Godfather trilogy.[94] His winery produced its first vintage in 1977 with the help of his father, wife and children
[95]
stomping the grapes barefoot and every year the family has a harvest party to continue the tradition.

After purchasing the property, he produced wine under the Niebaum-Coppola label. When he purchased the former
Inglenook Winery
chateau in 1995,[96] he renamed the winery Rubicon Estate Winery in 2006. On 11 April 2011, Coppola acquired the iconic
Inglenook trademark[97] paying more, he said, for the trademark than he did for the entire estate[98] and announced that the estate
would once again be known by its historic original name, Inglenook. Its grapes are now entirely ganically
or grown.

Uptown Theater
George Altamura, a real estate developer announced in 2003 that he had partnered with several people, including Francis Ford
[99]
Coppola, in a project to restore theUptown Theater in downtown Napa, California in order to create a live entertainment venue.

Francis Ford Coppola Presents

Coppola is also the owner of Francis Ford Coppola Presents, a lifestyle brand under which he markets goods from companies he
owns or controls. It includes films and videos, resorts, cafes, a literary magazine, a line of pastas and pasta sauces called Mammarella
Foods and a winery.

Winery
The Francis Ford Coppola Winery near Geyserville, California,[100] located on the former Chateau Souverain Winery,[101] where he
has opened a family-friendly facility, is influenced by the idea of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen,[102] with swimming pools,
bocce courts and a restaurant. The winery displays several of Coppola's Oscars along with memorabilia from his movies, including
Vito Corleone's desk from The Godfather and a restored 1948 Tucker Sedan as used in Tucker: The Man and His Dream.

Resorts
Included in the Francis Ford Coppola Presents lifestyle brand are several hotels and
resorts around the world. The Blancaneaux Lodge in Belize, which from the early
1980s was a family retreat until it was opened to the public in 1993 as a 20-room
luxury resort[103] and The Turtle Inn, in Placencia, Belize,[104] (both of which have
won several prestigious awards including "Travel + Leisure's World's Best: Best
Resort in Central & South America"); La Lancha in Lago Petn Itz,
Guatemala;[105] Jardin Escondido in Buenos Aires, Argentina[106] and Palazzo
Margherita in Bernalda, Italy.[107]

Cafe and restaurant Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda,

owned by Coppola
In San Francisco, Coppola owns a restaurant named Cafe Zoetrope, located in the
Sentinel Building where American Zoetrope is based.[108] It serves traditional
Italian cuisine and wine from his personal estate vineyard. For 14 years from 1994, Coppola co-owned the Rubicon restaurant in San
Francisco along with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro. Rubicon closed in August 2008.[109]

Literary publications
[110]
He brought out the San Francisco-based City Magazine in the 1970s, but lost $1.5 million on this venture.

In 1997, Coppola founded Zoetrope: All-Story, a literary magazine devoted to short stories and design. The magazine publishes
fiction by emerging writers alongside more recognizable names, such as Woody Allen, Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami, Alice
Munro, Don DeLillo, Mary Gaitskill, and Edward Albee; as well as essays, including ones from Mario Vargas Llosa, David Mamet,
Steven Spielberg, and Salman Rushdie. Each issue is designed, in its entirety, by a prominent artist, one usually working outside his /
her expected field. Previous guest designers include Gus Van Sant, Tom Waits, Laurie Anderson, Marjane Satrapi, Guillermo del
Toro, David Bowie, David Byrne, and Dennis Hopper. Coppola serves as founding editor and publisher ofAll-Story.

Other ventures
Coppola stated that The Godfather Part IV was never made as Mario Puzo died before they had a chance to write the film.[111] Andy
[111]
Garcia has since claimed the film's script was nearly produced.

Coppola was the jury president at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival and he also took part as a special guest at the 46th International
Thessaloniki Film Festivalin Greece.
Over the years, Coppola has given contributions to several candidates of the Democratic Party, including Mike Thompson and Nancy
Pelosi for the U.S. House of Representativesand Barbara Boxer and Alan Cranston for the U.S. Senate.[112]

He had planned to direct an epic movie named Megalopolis, a story about the aftermath and reconstruction of New York City after a
mega-disaster, but after the city was hit by the real life disaster of September 11, 2001, the project was seen as being too
sensitive.[113] In 2007 Coppola stated that "I have abandoned that as of now. I plan to begin a process of making one personal movie
[114]
after another and if something leads me back to look at that, which I'm sure it might, I'll see what makes sense to me."
