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. By Thursday, one day after Coppola's announcement, the fund had reached US$55,000 (RM243,730).
