Videos have surfaced showing acclaimed director Francis Ford Coppola kissing and grabbing female extras on the set of his upcoming sci-fi film 'Megalopolis.' Multiple sources have claimed that Coppola's behavior was unprofessional and inappropriate. The footage appears to show the 85-year-old filmmaker kissing scantily clad background actors and making inappropriate announcements over a microphone, including, 'Sorry, if I come up to you and kiss you. Just know it’s solely for my pleasure.' One source noted that the lack of an HR department on set, due to Coppola funding the project himself, left crew members with no formal avenue to report the behavior. The allegations come just two months before the highly anticipated film is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide.
