Francis Ford Coppola’s upcoming $100 million epic feature “Megalopolis,” is shaping up — and it includes Shia LaBeouf.

Also set to join the picture — which already boasts an all-star lineup including Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight and Laurence Fishburne — are Talia Shire, Coppola’s sister who starred in his “Godfather” films, “The French Dispatch” actor Jason Schwartzman (Shire’s son), Grace Vanderwaal (“Star Girl”), Kathryn Hunter (“The Tragedy of Macbeth”), and James Remar (“Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood”).

Production has now begun in Brisbane, Queensland. The eight-part limited series is an adaptation of Trent Dalton’s international best-selling novel “Boy Swallows Universe” and is being produced by Brouhaha Entertainment, together with Anonymous Content and Chapter One, for streaming platform Netflix. “Boy Swallows Universe” follows working-class Brisbane teenager Eli Bell in a whirlwind story about drug addiction, ex-cons, poverty, violence and the discovery of hope through the power of love. Dalton has pitched the story as involving “a boy who receives a message on a red rotary dial phone in a secret underground room that tells him he must bust into Brisbane’s notorious Boggo Road Prison to save his mum’s life on Christmas Day.”

Ben Croll As Unifrance’s Daniela Elstner sees it, the wealth of talent in this year’s Venice slate imparts a good bill of health for the French industry writ large. “Today, festival directors look to France in a slightly different way,” Elstner says. “We can find eminences like Frederick Wiseman alongside [emerging talents] like Alice Diop. That’s the strength of a good selection: You need names, you need surprises, you need to mix it up.” Alongside Diop and Wiseman (whose “A Couple” is in French, if not a majority French production), this year’s Venice roster also includes “Other People’s Children” from Rebecca Zlotowski and “Our Ties” from Roschdy Zem — together forming a delegation perhaps more notable for the fact that none had competed in Venice before than for the almost incidental gender parity of the mix.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and restricted free-agent guard Collin Sexton still have not come to an agreement on a new contract for the young player as we get closer and closer to the start of the NBA’s preseason. Sexton is a Rich Pual partner and it is not unusual for Paul and Kulch Sports to take these negotiations close to training camp or even into training camp as the Cavaliers saw with Triston Thompson back in 2015 before he got his new deal. Sexton has not had much of a market in his first free agency experience and he was very unhappy with the Cavaliers’ first offer to him. Every day that goes by that Sexton is still not with the Cavaliers is another day that it becomes more seemingly obvious that he will end up on a one-year qualifying offer with the Cavaliers.
