Hollywood actor Dustin Hoffman is set to bid farewell to Hollywood after his latest film, Megalopolis, was called a “convoluted, overblown disaster” by critics, RadarOnline writes. The publication notes that the Tootsie star had hoped to create a legendary film in partnership with director Francis Ford Coppola, but that did not happen. According to critics cited by the source, even the film’s huge $120 million budget and the participation of another star, Jon Voight, did not help the film.
Hoffman, 87, hoped his latest film would become legendary, but it didn’t. His duet with 85-year-old Jon Voight in “Megapolis” was panned by critics in the first reviews. The film was called “insultingly sanctimonious” and “self-indulgent and utterly insane , ” the publication writes .
In 2017, several women accused Hoffman of harassment . In particular, Anna Hunter, who took part in the filming of the movie “Death of a Salesman” with the actor, reported episodes of harassment. The events in question relate to 1985.
Anna Hunter was a 17-year-old production assistant at the time. According to her, Hoffman did not hesitate to openly offer her physical intimacy and even touch her buttocks.
