Adam Driver as Caesar Catalina, smiling and well-dressed, in Megalopolis
Summary The negative review quotes in the new Megalopolis trailer appear to be fabricated. The trailer begins with Laurence Fishburne's narration saying, "True genius is often misunderstood," followed by excerpts from negative reviews of previous Francis Ford Coppola films, including The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Megalopolis Continues To Be Rooted In Controversy Fake Review Quotes Are Only The Tip Of The Iceberg Close Using fake review quotes in a trailer is only the latest controversy for Megalopolis. Previous reports alleged that multiple extras were harassed by Coppola, who tried to kiss them to "get them in the mood" when filming the production's nightclub scenes.
Once the film was made, it had a difficult time landing a distributor, as it was not viewed as a commercially safe bet for the larger studios, but the smaller studios could not accommodate Coppola's requirements for an extensive marketing plan or a release in IMAX theaters. Lionsgate Films ultimately became the distributor for Megalopolis. While it is not a controversy, the Megalopolis' mixed reviews following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival were highly divisive as well.
