Like the famed empire that Francis Ford Coppola’s epic passion project is styled after, MEGALOPOLIS is a towering, monumental spectacle that most people will think about at least once a day. The City of New Rome is at a crossroads. At one end sits Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), the idealistic artist striving for a utopian future, and at the other sits Mayor Franklin Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), a powerful figure perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Their titanic struggle will shake the foundations of their city and lay the groundwork for a new tomorrow. As engrossing and ambitious as you would expect from the filmmaker behind THE GODFATHER and APOCALYPSE NOW, MEGALOPOLIS is an unforgettable vision that could only have come from Coppola. Of course, he didn’t do it alone, and everyone in the unbelievable cast (including Driver, Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Laurence Fishburne, and more) delivers some of the most memorable performances of their careers.
