First Full-Length Trailer For ‘Megalopolis’ Released

Buy Me A Coffee

The first full-length trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis has finally graced our screens, and let’s just say it’s as subtle as a neon sign in a library.

The trailer kicks off with a dramatic declaration: “True genius is often misunderstood.” And just to drive the point home, it immediately starts slapping up screenshots of critics who were less than kind about Coppola’s masterpieces, like The Godfather. It’s like Coppola’s personal revenge playlist, but with more cinematic flair.

Now, let’s talk about the film itself: Megalopolis is a Roman Epic set in an America that’s so modern it might as well be wearing a TikTok filter. In this high-stakes drama, the City of New Rome is caught in a tug-of-war between Cesar Catilina (played by Adam Driver, who apparently also moonlights as a utopian guru) and Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito, who’s busy keeping things as exciting as a tax audit). Catilina dreams of a shiny, perfect future, while Cicero is sticking to the good old days of greed, shady deals, and endless squabbling.

Caught in this epic showdown is Julia Cicero (Nathalie Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, who’s like the Switzerland of this battle—if Switzerland were a city girl in love with a revolutionary artist. Her loyalties are as split as her wardrobe choices, and she’s on a journey to figure out what humanity actually deserves. Spoiler: It’s not a sequel to The Godfather.

Also, if you’re a fan of star-studded casts and enjoy seeing actors pop up like surprise party guests, you’re in for a treat. Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman all make appearances. It’s like Coppola threw a big celebrity mixer and invited everyone.

Mark your calendars: Megalopolis will be hitting theaters on September 27. Prepare for a cinematic experience that’s as grandiose and puzzling as a Roman holiday gone terribly wrong.
