Francis Ford Coppola Slams Trump’s Planned Movie Tariffs: “These tariffs are like slamming the door closed.”

Francis Ford Coppola is a brand name when it comes to Hollywood and the film industry in general. Despite some recent flops, he is a giant who has brought us timeless classics such as The Godfather trilogy, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now.
