As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in virtual worlds, I can hardly contain my excitement for the real-life spectacle that is Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Megalopolis’. Having grown up watching Coppola’s cinematic masterpieces like ‘Apocalypse Now’ and ‘The Godfather’, I never thought I’d see a project of this scale from him. The idea of a utopian city, brought to life on the big screen, is something that would make any gamer’s heart race!
On September 23rd, Francis Ford Coppola is set to showcase his science fiction masterpiece, Megalopolis, at the New York Film Festival as a special preview screening
Before the exclusive movie event at AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York, a Q&A session with Coppola will be broadcasted in real-time on Imax screens at 66 theaters nationwide. This special advanced screening of Coppola’s expensive film project from Lionsgate and Imax is happening before “Megalopolis” hits theaters on September 27, and after it has been premiered at film festivals in Cannes and Toronto
“It’s an honor beyond measure to collaborate with the esteemed Francis Ford Coppola, and we are thrilled that his innovative film will be featured at the 62nd New York Film Festival,” Adam Fogelson, head of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, expressed in a statement
The promotion of the movie “Megalopolis” has been eventful, as its first trailer was withdrawn by Lionsgate on August 21, following a single day’s release, when it was exposed that the critic quotes used in the teaser were fake. A new trailer for “Megalopolis,” which can be seen below, was released along with the Imax announcement on Thursday, and this revised preview omits any critic quotes
For nearly several decades, Coppola invested a significant portion of his personal wealth into a $120 million endeavor, where Adam Driver portrays an individual consumed by the ambition to construct a utopian city. The talented cast includes Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, and Giancarlo Esposito
In the case of IMAX, the grandeur and audacity of the movie “Megalopolis” should suit their large screens quite nicely. This is because the film features Madison Square Garden transformed into a Colosseum, where there are gladiatorial battles and chariot races taking place
Lionsgate, a studio with deep-rooted connections to Coppola and his American Zoetrope label, has previously handled distribution of certain projects for home viewing, such as Apocalypse Now: Final Cut, The Conversation, The Cotton Club Encore, Tucker: The Man and His Story, and One From the Heart: Reprise
Dennis Lim, artistic director of NYFF, will lead the pre-screening conversation with Coppola.
