Coppola Addresses Fake Quotes in Megalopolis Trailer

Francis Ford Coppola addressed the controversy surrounding the trailer for his film 'Megalopolis,' describing the use of fake critic quotes as a 'mistake' and 'accident.' The initial marketing campaign aimed to counteract negative reviews by fabricating quotes, leading to Lionsgate recalling the trailer and apologizing for the error. 'Megalopolis,' a self-financed $120 million project, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival amid mixed reactions, with some reviews praising its ambitious scope and others criticizing its execution. The film features Adam Driver as an architect with the ability to manipulate time and is described as a blend of various styles and tones. Despite its unevenness, the film has moments of humor, particularly in scenes featuring Aubrey Plaza. 'Megalopolis' is set for a wider release in Canada on September 27.
