As a cinephile with a penchant for epic narratives and a deep appreciation for the masterful storytelling of visionary filmmakers, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming release of Megalopolis. The prospect of witnessing Francis Ford Coppola’s grand Roman Epic set in an imagined Modern America is nothing short of exhilarating.
A fresh trailer for the upcoming Roman Epic, titled “Megalopolis,” has surfaced. This film is both directed and written by Francis Ford Coppola and was recently acquired by Lionsgate Studios in June 2024. The movie will hit U.S. theaters this coming September.
Check out the new Megalopolis trailer below (watch more trailers and clips):
What is Megalopolis about?
In simple terms, “Megalopolis” is a modern-day Roman epic taking place in an imagined America. The narrative revolves around New Rome, a city that must evolve, leading to a power struggle between Cesar Catilina, a visionary artist advocating for utopian ideals, and Mayor Franklyn Cicero who clings to the old ways, promoting self-interest, corruption, and political strife. Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter, finds herself caught in this conflict as she grapples with her love for Cesar, which complicates her allegiances, ultimately leading her to decide what future humanity truly deserves.
As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the stellar lineup for this upcoming film boasts stars like Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman. Can’t wait to see them all in action!
Coppola produces the film alongside Barry Hirsch, Fred Roos, and Michael Bederman.
As a passionate admirer, I can’t help but marvel at Coppola’s extraordinary dedication. Known for masterpieces like The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now (1979), Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), and countless others, this visionary director poured an astounding $120 million of his personal fortune into a film project. Fast forward to 2024, this cinematic marvel graced the screens at the prestigious 77th Cannes Film Festival in May.
Previously, Adam Fogelson from Lionsgate Motion Picture Group stated that Francis is an extraordinary figure in cinema. Many of us were motivated to pursue our careers in film by his outstanding contributions to the industry. It’s a great honor for us to collaborate with him and share this magnificent, audacious, and entirely original film with theater-goers. At Lionsgate, we aim to provide a platform for fearless and innovative artists, and Megalopolis demonstrates that no one is more fearless or innovative than the visionary, Francis Ford Coppola.
The movie titled Megalopolis is set to hit American theaters on the 27th of September, 2024, and it comes from Lionsgate Studios.
