Adam Driver has a lot riding on Megalopolis.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Adam Driver is set to star in a high-budget sci-fi movie, Megalopolis, which needs to perform well to correct a 5-year streak for the actor. Rising to international fame for his role as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Adam Driver has since become one of Hollywood's most coveted actors.
Also in 2019, Adam Driver appeared in the film The Dead Don't Die, directed by veteran independent auteur Jim Jarmusch. While it may not seem like a sci-fi film at first glance, the zombie movie's themes correlate to sci-fi, embraced from an absurdist horror perspective. Previously, the actor collaborated on the film Paterson, which is still regarded as one of Adam Driver's best movies.
For the time being, Driver isn't at risk, as revered directors like Coppola, Michael Mann, and Ridley Scott seem inclined to continue working with him. Still, these streaks matter, and continuing to appear in movies that struggle commercially when not attached to the Star Wars franchise title could inhibit him in the future. Megalopolis has a massive budget, and it could start to look bleak for Adam Driver if he's the lead on another considerable flop.
It's hard to think of a better external narrative surrounding a film than one of the world's greatest filmmakers returning to form.
