The Godfather director, Francis Ford Coppola, has reportedly been "hospitalised" in Italy. According to MailOnline, the 86-year-old was taken to the hospital on Tuesday morning in Calabria and had been presenting a screening of his film, Megalopolis, at the Magna Grecia Festival. The publication reported that Francis was spending a lot of the summer in Italy looking for locations for his new film, which is said to start filming in the autumn. The iconic film director is known for major Hollywood classics, including Apocalypse Now, The Godfather, Peggy Sue Got Married, and Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Over the course of his incredible career, he has won five Oscars. Last month, a crowd of young people greeted him in Soverato as a special guest at the preview screening of the Magna Graecia Film Festival.
He said at the time: "Young people tell me the world is a mess. But I tell them there's no problem that humanity can't solve. We must build a great new future, and do it together for the sake of our children. And tonight, we're taking a leap into the future."
It has not been confirmed why Francis Ford Coppola was hospitalised.
Express Online has reached out to a representative of Coppola for comment.
