Megalopolis | Official Trailer | Reaction & Review | The Return of Francis Ford Coppola 

Sorry about the sound quality in this video!

I don’t know why but I get an old school feeling from this. Like this is a movie that actually has a target audience and doesn’t try to please everyone. Basically, it feels like art, not a corporate product.

No question that the genuine cinematic directorial genius of the last 58 years will shine once again! Bravo Mr. Coppola...BRAVO!"

I've always maintained that art and commerce should never be used in the same sentence. Huge kudos for master Coppola to take on this project without the typical Hollywood commercial mindset...... I will definitely be in line for a ticket

Good or bad, My son and I will definitely go see it in IMAX upon its release, that's for sure.

Based on the teaser trailer the film is visually beautiful but that doesn't mean one thing or another about the actual story. But because movies have been poorly done for the most part in recent years and it is Coppola will give this a chance.

Thanks as ever CineRanter!

Big anticipation. We will see…

Yes, pretty darn excited to see this - come whatever! Feels like very very few risks for art being made these days, so whatever sins Coppola may create here, it will undeniably be artful ones. Thanks for this review.

2:50 Perhaps it's a distinction without a difference, but the building Adam Driver teeters on isn't just any building: it's the "Chrysler" Building in NYC

This movie is going to be AWESOME-I can hardly handle my excitement!

BTW if you've ever seen later Fellini like "Satyricon," leboeuf's makeup is really not that incomprehensible

Hey! Adam Driver!! Why the long face?

Excited!

If he stood on the corner with a video camera just to capture traffic, I would pay to see it.

You are 100% correct about the artist vs the soulless suits in the studios. Coppola proved to everyone that true artists are unstoppable!

Can’t wait !

Can't wait!

Some city scenes/shoots reminds me of the anime movie Metropolis from 2001...and thats is not a bad thing for me.

With Zoetrope Coppola was well known for overinflated experimental budgets like One from the heart. I guess he could have made this for 100 k with AI video tools by 2025…

Aah - the irrepressible Mr Coppola. THIS I have to see!

The 2024 Sci Fi "Fountainhead." Mixed with a "Clockwork Orange" vibe?! See, "The Schock of the New'...... The video series all Architecture schools show their first year students.

If your used to and therefore going into this expecting the run of the mill Hollywood experience, prepared to be disappointed. This Cinematic Adventure is is a flex on ALL so called film wizards and gurus of late who helmed flop after forgettable flop for the past 20 years or so. I can not wait for this.

I love everything this movie is about. Even if it isn't great I'm sure it'll be interesting and different.

" never get off the project"

Megalopolis Let's Go!

I'll definitely see this in the theater.

Word from those who have seen advance screenings (people in the business) is that it's a fascinating mess of a film. One of my all-time favorite messy films in "Southland Tales" (the Cannes Cut). It's a jumbled, confused movie with some truly cringy scenes, but there are so many wonderful ideas and moments that I love it despite its many problems. I suspect this movie will be a lot like that, only with better acting.

Looks beautiful. Tall, dark, and mysterious. I like that.

There is no way Adam Drivers long face (like a melting Salvador Dali clock) is the last one Coppola will ever film.

I think we're in for an interesting disaster

Some of my favorite Coppola films were the little ones, "One From the Heart" or "The Black Stallion". I always thought these were more worthy than some of the famous efforts.

When does the official trail get shown in this official trailer video?

Greco-Roman wrestling? I'm in!!

Detroit's own... He's one of the best directors ever.

It looks goddam amazing and it's going to at least break even

If this movie premieres at cane this Friday, May 17th, then could we see this movie everywhere else by June or July.

This feels like something that would have come out in 2008 lol.

Dude! You skipped two of my favorites -- James Remar and D. B. Sweeney. If I go, it'll be to see these guys.

How do you know that this is his final movie?

Of Course. You judge an artist by the volume of their work. Coppola is one of the greats. Anything he does is worthy of the price of a ticket and your time.

Looks like the fullfilling of the dream of the aging Coppola to create today's Metropolis (Fritz Lang's silent movie). But if it doesn't tell us more about the big puppeteers (Rome?) than the old movie, it is a big annoyance and failure.

Looks amazing to me, and I adore Adam Driver

Wild guess that old Soviet satellite nukes the city

I t will still be better and remembered for longer than the usual shit pumped out by Hollywood today.

No one goes in head first risking all their fortune?!!.... uh hello? .. Keubrick.

'...evil man who becomes good and a good man who becomes evil.'

I'd go see it tru dat

This is likely is last movie, it will be massive because of this and probably bring in many accolades

Seems the premise is a bit of a risk with $100 m of your own wedge on it

I'm not sure if this is a win for art because it is saying that you have to be filthy rich to be able to go against the Hollywood norm.

This is gonna bomb at the box office regardless how good it is...... You have to put something for the average punter who is paying their money to go n see it & the Trailer just looks so feckin pertinacious.? Thats whats maddening about it.....

Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian wrote "Megalopolis is megabloated and megaboring". It's a flop already.

This film could absolutely be garbage. But I can't wait to find out.

Talia Shire and Jason Schwarzman?!! How’d Coppola manage to sign them two.

This will be the greatest train wreck ever put to screen...

All it took was $100M of his own money

Not gonna lie. I feel a train wreck is coming

i knew nothing about this unverise or story, saw this video poped up clicked it searched up the trailer went to watch the traile,r then came backto this video & you know what, I am not going to watch this video or anything about this movie other than that 1 trailer & gonna go in 100% blind

One of the last masters of cinema is back!

I get the distinct whiff of style over substance off this.

I just hope there's a girl boss!!!

Based 80% on who’s in it; it’s going to be a stinker ( ! ! ! )

Unfortunately Coppola made the same mistake Gilliam made: Hiring Adam Driver.

Something inside me says this will be not good

The movie has a target specific audience, that's why i will watch it, doesnt fit or wants to fit into any political or timely nowadays notion.

You idiots don't get it. Francis wanted to tell the Truth. Few rich people want that known. Had to fund it himself. The movie seems crazy. That's the point. It's a reflection of our current reality

As a NYC native I seriously do not want to watch my city destroyed on screen for the millionth time.. FOH with this psy-op

Purely out of respect for Coppola's work and a hatred of the new Hollywood, I'm going to pay to see this film and buy tickets for my family too. Hopefully other true film fans will have the same idea and it will allow Coppola to recoup his 200 mil and stick one in the eye of woke Hollyweird who turned their back on him.

Can't be worse than many saints of newark whatever happened there..

We will never see this movie.

Sorry for russia :( Я думаю, что даже если это окажется провалом - это всё равно то, что является частью кинематографа в высоком смысле этого слова. Скучаю по временам, когда фильмы были рискованными, смелыми, креативными и необычными. Мне не описать свои ощущения от того, как же я пресытился этими пластиковыми жвачками от супергеройских фильмов (кроме действительно хороших, но это исключение из правил) и других "якобы" авторских фильмов по типу "Оппенгеймера" и "Барби" (нет, они авторские, но ощущение какого-то упущенного потенциала после просмотра не покидало из моей головы). Как верно было подмечено, маститые режиссёры всё равно снимают свои фильмы с осторожностью, что с одной стороны спасает от финансового банкротства, а с другой стороны - проявляется проблема, когда художник вынужден ограничивать полностью свои художественные взгляды, которые не позволяют его картинам в полной мере раскрыть свой потенциал. Если фильм по словам прессы и критиков окажется плохим - я всё равно пойду на него в кинотеатр, потому что я хочу испытывать необычные редкие эмоции и испытывать осадок в душе после просмотра, а не испытывать предсказуемо привычные эмоции того, что по идее я так догадываюсь каким образом я это получу. Потому что это просто нелепо осознавать, когда ты пересматриваешь/впервые смотришь фильмы 50 или даже 80 летней давности, и они оказываются куда увлекательнее и взрослее, чем современные фильмы, то это уже звоночек.

I hope its good cause he has so many boring movies

Crying Neo.

Love Coppola, but he made the tragic mistake of casting Adam Driver as the lead. Adam Driver is the worst leading actor in the past decade. Poor old man is going to loose his shirt because of this terrible choice.

John Voight is a Hollywood cast-away due to his support for common sense gov't (not Democrat), so for Coppola to use him in a film - the movie is striving to bring in the best talent and not recent Hollywood political messaging. This is a must see, even if it is boring.

I smell flop

Coppola is great but adam driver is horrible. In star wars even the other characters made fun of him. I expected him at any moment to make robot sounds like JP in grandma's boy. The last duel flopped because of driver and I hate say that this movie will too. They need to stop casting this goof. Why didn't they just call it Megapolis?

It looks absolutely SHITE!!! No wonder he had to finance it himself, terrible cast too.

I’ve been waiting for this movie for so long, but it just looks bad. It looks almost like a B movie. And with a god-awfully bad cast. No one is going to see a movie because Adam Driver, Shia Lebeouf, Giancarlo Esposito or Dustin Hoffman star in it. Those are all either past their prime, Hoffman, or just bad actors like the rest. Truly a shame he chose these actors. The movie will definitely flop.

Won’t break $50M at the box office. Moviegoers don’t like mumbo jumbo garbage like this and the only people who go to movies now are MCU fans. There’s a reason no one wanted to produce this. There goes the kid’s inheritance.
