The adaptation of “Megalopolis” has been one of the most ambitious projects of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who has been developing this original idea for decades and was finally able to bring it to reality in 2024.

The story follows an architect (played by Adam Driver) who wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia after a devastating disaster. The Ferrari actor was joined by several A-list stars, like Giancarlo Esposito and Aubrey Plaza.

The science fiction film will be released in theaters on September 27 of this year, and just a few days ago its first official trailer was uploaded, but Lionsgate took it down for being the wrong one.
