The movie studio Lionsgate says it “screwed up” after fabricating critics’ quotes in a recent trailer for the upcoming Francis Ford Coppola film, “Megalopolis.” “Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for ‘Megalopolis,’” a studio spokesperson said in a statement to TODAY.com. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.
What were the allegedly fake quotes in the 'Megalopolis' trailer? The now-pulled trailer for “Megalopolis” opens with the words spoken in voiceover, “True genius is often misunderstood.” The trailer then moves through three of Coppola’s most notable films — 1972’s “The Godfather,” 1979’s “Apocalypse Now” and 1992’s “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” — and features snippets of supposed quotes from critics bashing each film.
