This is going to be amazing either way.

Adam Driver & Jason Schwartzman in the same movie... Battle of the warty-faced molemen.

Those past reviews sound like the continuous wah wah wah from youtubers about children's shows.

I'm curious how Jon Voight fits into this.

Adam Driver & Jason Schwartzman in the same movie... Battle of the warty-faced molemen.

The casting seems quite bizarre and honestly is a bit of a turn-off. Such a random collection of people.

I'm in

that's some pure ether at the beginning.

I'm in for Coppola.

In this timeline, negative means good

Shia leboef

Those Dracula review snippets are pretty accurate IMO and it's amusing it stops after a movie made over 30 years ago. Is that an admittance he made nothing of worth since then? How about Jack? Were those reviews wrong too? =P

Seriously though, none of that really matters. This movie appears to be visually interesting(maybe even engaging) but beyond that, very much remains to be seen.

 

[Insane Metal]

Well, at the very least, this will be a visual masterpiece. So I'm in.

"An Epic Piece of Trash" has got me cracking up over here! Is that a real quote from a review for Apocalypse Now? Wether or not this is a real trailer I'll probably watch the movie on the big screen.

 

[jason10mm]

Oh man, which Shia Lebouf are we gonna get?

The crazy one? The anxiety riddled one? Or the anxiety riddled crazy one?

 

[deriks]

Very weird. I'll watch for sure

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Oh man, which Shia Lebouf are we gonna get?

The crazy one? The anxiety riddled one? Or the anxiety riddled crazy one?

How about the drugged up anxiety riddled crazy one?

How about the drugged up anxiety riddled crazy one?

Oh, what a twist!

 

[lachesis]

I'm not sure how the storytelling would be, but as per the visual - I like that 20th century modern feel. Looking forward seeing it.

 

[Days like these...]

I'll take this over some shitty Disney soft reboot anyday

 

[HoodWinked]

seems like it will either be a 90% chance of being terrible or a 10% chance of being great with no in between.

Lionsgate Pulls ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer Offline Due to Made-Up Critic Quotes and Issues Apology: ‘We Screwed Up’

Lionsgate is recalling its latest trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's epic 'Megalopolis,' which featured fabricated quotes from famous film critics.

variety.com

 

[SJRB]

Wait the quotes were fake? No fucking way, lmao

 

[RAÏSanÏa]

Thought those quotes sounded a bit hyperbolic modern for professionals writing educated reviews half a century ago.

"sloppy self-indulgent"
"doesn't know what it wants to be"
"epic piece of trash"

As far as me calling ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’ ‘a beautiful mess,’ I only wish I’d said that! Regarding that film, it now sounds kind.

LOL

and what a way to end the article and promote the release date...

Last month, Variety exclusively obtained video depicting Coppola trying to kiss young female extras on the set of the project, as additional crew members detailed his unprofessional behavior during production.

“Megalopolis” hits U.S. theaters on Sept. 27.

 

[SF Kosmo]

This is the first time I've seen a trailer start with "Ok, but hear me out."

Weirdly defensive posture

 

[Punished Miku]

I'd be lying if I said I was excited. But it seems original, so I might just go check it out. Mostly interested due to the backstory behind making the film.

 

[AJUMP23]

They took down the trailer because of the fake quotes. Maybe this is marketing genius.

Opens next weekend. I’m seeing 5-10 tickets sold per screening at major theaters here so far. Ain’t looking good.

Pretentious is always a tough sell. But he is ancient and just sold of a portion of his wealth to make the film, so much like Costner I don't think the $$$ made is relevant versus the golf claps in their inner circle.
