Coppola himself, however, denies the reports of issues on set.

Whats going on with production?
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, several key members of the films creative-production team have been removed from the project.
A spokesperson for the Art Directors Guild toldTHRthat its currently looking into the situation to determine the next steps.
Coppola is reportedly trying to replace their positions.
The production is reportedly shifting to more green-screen effects because of budget constraints.
Has Francis Ford Coppola responded?
Coppola himself is willing to acknowledge the turnover, as is Driver.
Yes, it is true that the art department resigned and VFX were let go, Driver told Deadline.
That characterization is inaccurate.
But while those departments resigned, Coppola and his actors are doing extremely well.
I am so happy with the look and that we are so on schedule.
These reports never say who these sources are.
To them, I say, ha, ha, just wait and see.
Because this is a beautiful film and primarily so because the cast is so great.
It is a thrill to work with these actors and the photography is everything I could hope for.
The dailies are great.
Is this anotherApocalypse Now?
If you asking if this is a stressful film for all involved, then yeah, probably.
But if youre asking whether this will be a groundbreaking hit film, only time will tell.
Hopefully someone has a camera rolling behind the scenes for aHearts of Darknessmoment.
