Megalopolis - Official Trailer (2024) Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Aubrey Plaza

Megalopolis sci-fi drama from the iconic Francis Ford Coppola.
Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.
Megalopolis stars Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, Kathryn Hunter, Grace VanderWaal, Chloe Fineman, James Remar, D.B. Sweeney, and Dustin Hoffman. The film is directed, written, and produced by Francis Ford Coppola alongside Anahid Nazarian, Barrie Osborne, and Darren Demetre as executive producers.
Megalopolis is in theaters on September 27.

Bad sign when you start your trailer by preempting how bad the reviews are going to be and then implying it’s actually a classic… strange approach

[@toddhanley6982]

Patton (writer);Godfather; Godfather 2, The Conversation (same year); Apocalypse Now. THAT was Coppola in the 70's , the man LITERALLY made NOTHING but classics for an ENTIRE decade. Not many humans who ever existed can say that.I think a little indulgence is warranted if chosen.

[@ThierryVerhoeven]

@@toddhanley6982 They could have easily done that by just listing all the great movies he made, like the trailer of Avatar did (which namedropped all of James Cameron's beloved classics), but instead they decided to paint Coppola as some sort of misunderstood genius, when in reality most of his work has been praised by critics for decades.
