In 2024, Francis Ford Coppola's self-funded film Megalopolis garnered mixed reviews and disappointing box office performance. However, its story lives on through an upcoming graphic novel adaptation. Scheduled for an October 2025 release by Abrams ComicArts, the graphic novel will be penned by Chris Ryall and illustrated by Jacob Phillips. Coppola hopes that this adaptation will explore the narrative independently, distinguishing itself from the film while maintaining thematic connections, hence being described as a 'sibling, not an echo.'
"I was pleased to put the idea of a graphic novel in the competent hands of Chris Ryall with the idea that, although it was inspired by my film Megalopolis, it didn't necessarily have to be limited by it."
"What does a sibling to 2024's wildest movie even look like? Will it be another story set in the same universe, the same story with new supplementary material, or maybe even the same story with an alternate ending?"
