Article Summary

Lionsgate has released the ensemble poster for Francis Ford Coppola's film Megalopolis.
The movie's trailer was pulled due to fake quotes, leaving the marketing in chaos.
The official poster showcases the film's impressive cast but reveals little about the plot.
With early box office numbers looking rough, the film's team is racing to generate buzz before release.

We are mere weeks away from the release of Megalopolis, but you wouldn't know that by looking at the marketing material. We used to have a trailer, but ever since that whole fake quote thing happened, Lionsgate hasn't released a new trailer. Perhaps it's because director Francis Ford Coppola only commissioned so much marketing material, and now they are up the creek without a paddle, but whatever is going on with this film, it continues to be a spectacular trainwreck to watch in real-time. The official ensemble poster was released today and it does show off this extremely impressive cast. Is there a single hint in this poster about what this film is about if you know nothing about it? Not really. The early box office numbers are looking rough, and everyone involved with this film is running out of time to try and save this.

Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor's daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves. Written, produced, and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the film is produced by Fred Roos, Barry Hirsch, and Michael Bederman, and executive produced by Anahid Nazarian, Barrie Osborne, and Darren Demetre. Megalopolis will be released in theaters on September 27th.
