Francis Ford Coppola’s polarizing epic 'Megalopolis' has unveiled a new trailer ahead of its theatrical run in September.
will finally embark on its theatrical run this September, with a new trailer highlighting the movie that divided critics at film festivals upon its debut earlier this year.
Taking the offensive against the smattering of bad post-Cannes reviews, the trailer opens with a look back at the director’s career and similarly misguided critical assessments of Coppola’s previous masterpieces like“One filmmaker has always been ahead of his time,” Laurence Fishburne’s voiceover adds of Coppola’s legacy.
“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.
“It feels like a final statement of purpose, a summation of a lifetime’s worth of dreaming. And what is cinema but a canvas for dreamers? Whether makes a billion dollars or bupkiss is beside the point. So long as there are people who love movies that are actually about things, and think about the past 6,000 years of human civilization, there is an audience for this.”Halle Berry Says Blake Lively Asked if She'd Reprise Storm in 'Deadpool & Wolverine.
