What is Megalopolis about?

“Megalopolis is a Roman Epic set in an imagined Modern America,” the official synopsis reads. “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.”

The cast of the movie includes Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman.

Coppola produces the film alongside Barry Hirsch, Fred Roos, and Michael Bederman.

Coppola — who is known for making all three movies in the Godfather trilogy, along with 1979’s Apocalypse Now, 1992’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and more — spent around $120 million of his own money to fund the film. It premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May 2024.

“Francis is a legend,” Lionsgate Motion Picture Group’s Adam Fogelson previously said of Megalopolis. “For many of us, his gifts to cinema were one of the inspirations to devote our own careers to film. It is a true privilege to work with him, and to bring this incredible, audacious, and utterly unique movie to theatrical audiences. At Lionsgate, we strive to be a home for bold and daring artists, and Megalopolis proves there is no one more bold or daring than the maestro, Francis Ford Coppola.”

Megalopolis will be released in United States theaters on September 27, 2024, from Lionsgate Studios.
