The trailer, featuring a cast that includes Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, and Aubrey Plaza, was well-received by viewers.
However, the distribution company, Lionsgate, had to remove the trailer just hours after its release. The reason for the removal was the opening scene, which appeared to include critiques from famous film critics about Coppola’s movies.
It turned out that these quotes were entirely fabricated. In fact, Lionsgate had asked an AI to "find" these quotes and then used them in the trailer without proper verification. Naturally, this sparked quite a debate on social media.
"Megalopolis" is about an architect who wants to rebuild New York as a utopia after a devastating disaster. Critics are viewing it as a Roman epic set in an imagined version of modern America.
