Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay in the early 1980s, but the film was shelved in part due to his financial debts. Pre-production finally began in 2001 after 30 hours of second unit filming and table readings with Paul Newman, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, James Gandolfini, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Edie Falco and Kevin Spacey, but the project was scrapped after of the 9/11 attacks, because the script scene (page 166) "predicted" attacks. Coppola abandoned the project entirely in 2007 and did not begin development again until 2019.

I really admire the story and the purpose, but the younger generation’s interpretation was almost unbearable that I had to laugh. The acting is very well done, but at the behest of the pointless plot and lack of setting. Some scenes were simply bizarre; the actors walking to different parts of the room for no reason like I’m watching a Cirque Du Soleil show without the beauty of an art house, the flamboyant and exaggerated portrayal of the rich as if they were stupid pigs and just the overall direction was weird and not fun to watch. I really feel like Coppola had no one to tell him; "Hey, that’s stupid.".
