"My plan is a city that people can dream about." "What about those standing in your way?" Lionsgate + American Zoetrope have unveiled the second official trailer for Megalopolis (which will also be opening in IMAX), the controversial and critically panned new Coppola movie opening in theaters this fall. Megalopolis is director Francis Ford Coppola's latest ambitious project, a $100M+ feature that he has been trying to make ever since he first conceived the film in 1979. Is it worth the wait? The basic setup is: an architect wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster. The architect's plan is opposed by the mayor, who has other ideas for the city. This premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year to mostly mixed and negative reviews (read mine here). The movie's enormous ensemble cast inclfudes Adam Driver as Caesar, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Jason Schwartzman, Talia Shire, Grave Vanderwaal, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman. It also co-stars Laurence Fishburne who provides the title voice for the trailer. This is a much better trailer than the last one (which got them in trouble with fake quotes). Properly exciting - dive right in. // Continue Reading ›
