Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis Trailer Has Been Pulled Due To Its Use Of Fabricated Movie Review Quotes

Movies



Earlier today, the first trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis was released online, giving the public a taste of the director’s first feature in over a decade following its polarizing premiere at the Cannes Festival in May. However, now Lionsgate, which is handling the upcoming 2024 movie’s distribution, is is pulling the trailer from theaters and online. The reason: it uses movie review quotes that were made up.

Let me provide some context first. If you missed seeing the Megalopolis trailer, it features negative pull quotes from reviews of some of Coppola’s past movies, including The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and Dracula. This was done to show how just because a movie is received poorly at the time of its initial release doesn’t mean it can’t become a classic years later. But as Vulture pointed out, the quotes used in the Megalopolis trailer aren’t actually from those reviews written back in the day by greats like Pauline Kale, Andrew Sarris and Roger Ebert.
