===American Zoetrope===
{{Main|American Zoetrope}}
In 1971, Coppola produced [[George Lucas|George Lucas']] first feature film, ''[[THX 1138]]''. Shortly after completion of production they brought the finished film to [[Warner Bros.]], along with several other scripts for potential projects at their newly founded company, American Zoetrope. However, studio executives strongly disliked all of the scripts, including ''THX'', and demanded that Coppola repay the $300,000 they had loaned him for the Zoetrope studio, as well as insisting on cutting five minutes from the film. The debt nearly closed Zoetrope and forced Coppola to reluctantly focus on ''[[The Godfather]]''.<ref name="Featured Filmmaker: Francis Ford Coppola">[http://movies.ign.com/articles/430/430301p1.html Featured Filmmaker: Francis Ford Coppola – IGN] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511115731/http://movies.ign.com/articles/430/430301p1.html |date=May 11, 2011 }}.

American Zoetrope produced the film ''[[Clownhouse]]'', the director of which, [[Victor Salva]], was convicted of child sexual abuse and child pornography offences occurring during the making of that film.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Welkos |first=Robert |date=October 25, 1995 |title=Disney Movie's Director a Convicted Child Molester : Hollywood: He says, 'I paid for my mistakes dearly,' but victim of incident several years ago urges boycott of 'Powder.' |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-10-25-me-60848-story.html |access-date=August 25, 2022 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US |archive-date=August 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815074752/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-10-25-me-60848-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2006, Coppola said, "You have to remember, while this was a tragedy, that the difference in age between Victor and the boy was very small -- Victor was practically a child himself."

====Zoetrope Virtual Studio====
American Zoetrope also administers the Zoetrope Virtual Studio, a complete motion picture production studio for members only. Launched in June 2000 as the culmination of more than four years of work, it brings together departments for screenwriters, directors, producers and other filmmaker artists, as well as new departments for other creative endeavors such as the short story vending machine project.<ref>{{Cite web|title=A Short-Story Vending Machine, Dispensing Free Stimulation|url=https://www.kqed.org/arts/11597242/a-short-story-vending-machine-dispensing-free-stimulation|access-date=September 9, 2021|website=KQED|date=May 22, 2016|language=en-us|archive-date=September 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210909212246/https://www.kqed.org/arts/11597242/a-short-story-vending-machine-dispensing-free-stimulation|url-status=live}}</ref>

==== ''Pinocchio'' dispute with Warner Bros. ====
In the late 1980s, Coppola started considering concepts for a motion picture based upon the 19th-century [[Carlo Collodi]] novel ''[[The Adventures of Pinocchio]]'', and in 1991, Coppola and [[Warner Bros.]] began discussing the project as well as two others, one involving the life of [[J. Edgar Hoover]] and the other based on the children's novel ''[[The Secret Garden#Adaptations|The Secret Garden]]''. These discussions led to negotiations for Coppola to both produce and direct the ''Pinocchio'' project for Warner Bros. as well as ''[[The Secret Garden (1993 film)|The Secret Garden]]'' (which was made in 1993 and produced by [[American Zoetrope]], but directed by [[Agnieszka Holland]]) and ''Hoover'', which never came to fruition. A film was eventually made by [[Clint Eastwood]] in 2011 titled ''[[J. Edgar]]'', which was distributed by Warner Bros.

However, in mid-1991, Coppola and Warner Bros. came to a disagreement over the compensation to Coppola for his directing services on ''Pinocchio''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.schleimerlaw.com/CourtAppealCoppola.htm |title=In the Court of Appeal of the State of California Second Appellate District |agency=Schleimer Law |access-date=October 18, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716014033/http://www.schleimerlaw.com/CourtAppealCoppola.htm |archive-date=July 16, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 1994, Coppola later approached another studio, [[Columbia Pictures]], to produce the film.<ref>{{cite news |last=Brennan |first=Judy |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-07-17-ca-16701-story.html |title=No Lie: Coppola Eyes 'Pinocchio' |work=Los Angeles Times |date=July 17, 1994 |access-date=September 2, 2022 |url-access=limited |archive-date=September 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220902051318/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-07-17-ca-16701-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Warner Brothers then wrote to Columbia, stating it had held the rights to Coppola's project, which led to Columbia later dropping the project.

The parties deferred this issue and a settlement was finally reached on July 3, 1998, when the jurors in the resultant court case awarded Coppola $20&nbsp;million as compensation for losing the ''Pinocchio'' film project.<ref>{{cite news |last=Matzer |first=Malta |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-jul-03-fi-321-story.html |title=Jury Awards $20 Million to Coppola in 'Pinocchio' Suit |work=Los Angeles Times |date=July 3, 1998 |access-date=September 2, 2022 |url-access=limited |archive-date=September 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220902051320/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-jul-03-fi-321-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref> On that same day, Warner Bros. stated it would appeal the decision.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1998/07/03/Studio-will-appeal-20-million-award/4813899438400/ |title=Studio will appeal $20 million award |work=[[United Press International]] |date=July 3, 1998 |access-date=September 2, 2022}}</ref> A week later, Coppola was awarded a further $60&nbsp;million in punitive damages on top, stemming from his charges that Warner Bros. sabotaged his intended version.<ref name="Pinocchio_NYTimes" /> However, in October 1998, then-Superior Court Judge Madeleine Flier reversed the jury's $60&nbsp;million award to Coppola.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1998-10-16-9810150450-story.html |title=Coppola Loses $60 Million Award |work=Sun-Sentinel |date=October 16, 1998 |access-date=September 2, 2022 |url-access=limited |archive-date=September 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220902051334/https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1998-10-16-9810150450-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Warner Bros. and Coppola then appealed each other's ruling, in which Coppola sought to have his $60&nbsp;million award restored.

The television program was never produced, but in 1985, [[Simon & Schuster]] published Sagan's ''Contact'' and Warner Bros. moved forward with development of a film adaptation. Coppola sought at least $250,000 in compensatory damages and an injunction against production or distribution of the film.<ref name=Cope/> Even though Sagan was shown to have violated some of the terms of the agreement, the case was dismissed in February 1998 because Coppola had waited too long to file suit.<ref name="dismiss">{{cite news |first=Paul |last=Karon |url=https://variety.com/1998/film/news/coppola-s-contact-claim-is-dismissed-1117467799/ |title=Coppola's 'Contact' claim is dismissed |date=February 17, 1998 |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |access-date=January 28, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025010840/http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117467799 |archive-date=October 25, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 1997, Coppola co-founded with [[Adrienne Brodeur]], the [[literary magazine]] ''[[Zoetrope: All-Story]]'' which was devoted to short stories and design. The magazine publishes fiction by emerging writers alongside more recognizable names, such as [[Woody Allen]], [[Margaret Atwood]], [[Haruki Murakami]], [[Alice Munro]], [[Don DeLillo]], [[Mary Gaitskill]], and [[Edward Albee]]; as well as essays, including ones from [[Mario Vargas Llosa]], [[David Mamet]], [[Steven Spielberg]], and [[Salman Rushdie]]. Each issue is designed, in its entirety, by a prominent artist, one usually working outside his / her expected field. Previous guest designers include [[Gus Van Sant]], [[Tom Waits]], [[Laurie Anderson]], [[Marjane Satrapi]], [[Guillermo del Toro]], [[David Bowie]], [[David Byrne]], and [[Dennis Hopper]]. Coppola serves as founding editor and publisher of ''All-Story''.
