Francis Ford Coppola is developing an interactive, psychological horror videogame based on his epic Vietnam War film Apocalypse Now, and is asking the public to contribute US$900,000 (RM3.9bil) towards the cost of making it. The Oscar-winning director launched a Kickstarter page to raise funds for the game, which he said would take about three years to develop. Today, I’m joined by new daredevils, a team who want to make an interactive version of Apocalypse Now, where you are Captain Benjamin Willard amidst the harsh backdrop of the Vietnam War," Coppola said. Apocalypse Now won a best picture Golden Globe but just two Oscars for sound and cinematography. However, it is now regarded as one of the most influential war films of all time and in 2000 was chosen for preservation by the US National Film Registry.
