Because all the studio heads care about is which movie will be the next biggest blockbuster, they don’t care if it’s quality they just want it to make money.
Because Coppola is embroiled in a major ped uh file scandal since the 90's. That's why he became persona non grata in PedoWood and all his directorial efforts since the scandal have bombed and why no studio wants to work with him.

Agreed. Hollywood is so "risk averse" that they spend 100s of millions on reboots, remakes, prequels, sequels, etc. because they feel established titles will bring in audiences. Unfortunately, the people writing, directing, etc. have little talent, so they flop as we have been seeing. That money would be far better risked on an established filmmaker like Coppola, even with his missteps, and an original story (which is what fans have been asking for) like Megalopolis.
I don't think I have either. But looks good or at least the very least more interesting than all these lame movies coming out recently. Edit: Looked up his movies. Seen apocalypse now and know enough about the Godfather to know they're good movies even though I haven't seen them.
@@_beyond7293I wonder if that was ever shown in any edition of Apocalypse Now. - I for one was thrilled to see some proper end credits when I watched the Final Cut in 2019. 😂❤
He is doing exactly the same thing he did with One From the Heart in 1981, when he was getting in trouble with bad press because of conflicts with the distributors. Coppola booked Radio City Music Hall for one night for a preview of the movie to try and break the bad news cycle and solve the conflict with the distributors. One From the Heart tanked in the box office for being to bold and original, I love it, it's a fabulous movie, far from his best but a great movie anyway, but also because of bad press, although that was a movie that would never be a box office champ.
@@blipmachineAnd you’re the reason why we don’t get any interesting films in theaters anymore. If it doesn’t have a superhero in it you’re not interested
I'm so happy, movies like this get rarer and rarer these days. No Franchise, No Remake, No prequel or sequel, No "based on" - just a unique standalone, building it's own world and rules. I really hope it will be good
Here's the thing, looking at the box offices of original movies this year, most of them didn't see returns, Civil War, The Fall Guy, Abigail, etc. The only US original films I saw that made profit were The Beekeeper and Monkey Man and those 2 aren't the best original films, the other 3 were rated higher than The Beekeeper, people say they want to see original films, but the numbers just don't agree
@@edschelchang6123 You do realize all trends are finite right? In the 50s, the only profitable movies were westerns until they weren't.

In the 80s, the only profitable movies were high-concept sci-fi/fantasy blockbusters until they weren't. In the 90s, the only profitable movies were indies until they weren't.

I'm going through a bit of a mid-life crisis as I fear that my most productive years are behind me... and then I see this force of nature coming from an 85 year old man, and oh man it's such an inspiration.
Completely agree. Also the parallels with bladerunner generally are pretty cool. When was the last time we got a completely original and densely thought-out scifi world like this?
So many of us have been getting tired of prequels, sequels, remakes and reboots and clamoring for an original film. Here it is! Trailer looks amazing and I look forward to seeing this.
Are you sure? Because looking at most of the original films released this year, most of them didn't make a profit. I looked up the films from the US and the only original films I saw that made profit were The Beekeeper and Monkey Man. Things like Abigail, Civil War and The Fall Guy, that were rated positively, didn't make returns. I'm sure many people would like to see original films, but as the numbers show, there's not that many that show up to them
The curtain call and passion project of one of the last remaining cinematic masters. He sold a portion of his wine estate for $120M to stake the production. This is one for the art form's true fans - neither for critics nor box office. I myself cannot wait to watch it.
Word fuck these corporations they never have taste in anything & only care about the bottom line ! I hope this inspires others creatives to fund their own projects if possible so theres no limitations
Unfortunately this film lacks the ooomph of a modern day Disney or WB film overseen by seasoned executives imparting their magic touch (wisdom, experience and knowledge of market trends and what audiences really want)
I know that it has been a project that Coppola had in mind since a lot of time. Independently of how the movie will be, I am so very glad that he finally could make it real.
This movie looks unlike anything I've ever seen before. I feel like this will be a film to remember, a film we will look back on in 50 years and look at it the same way we look at Apocalypse Now almost 50 years later. A movie ahead of its time, and a swan song of a legendary director, one of the last great movies of this era.
Plus the reactions it’s getting from studio executives, that it’s so weird and surreal, are EXACTLY the same initial reactions people had with Apocalypse Now back in 1979.
@@socklock1957 I love the philosophical aspects of the movie, the juxtaposition of the fall of the Roman Republic with a dystopian America, even the movie analysis by this channel says : " about an entire civilization teetering on a similarly precarious ledge, devouring itself in a whirl of unchecked greed, self-absorption, and political propaganda, while a few bold dreamers push against the tide, striving to usher in a new dawn. Coppola himself - a grand visionary witnessing a once-great thing (call it cinema if you must) withering before his very eyes and determined to revivify it."
If your a real movie fan go see this in theatre, go see Nosferatu, hope you seen Dune 1 and 2, please support real directors, visionaries, the art will not die while I'm here
I'm getting excited to see this. Coppola's history as a filmmaker has always fascinated me. The successes. The failures. The love or the art form. The desire to be independent. His collaborations. He's one of the filmmakers that made me want to be in this industry, and I'm so grateful for it.
He peaked around 1975. By the mid 90's he was making stultifying trash like JACK. Tom Hanks already proved that a grown man acting like a child just created an annoying retard, in BIG, 1988 but Robin Williams managed to play an even more annoying retard in JACK, 1996. It's even less amusing now we know the details of Robin William's frantically desperate suicide.
It looks like a visual spectacle that is distinctly Francis Ford Coppola, fulfilling the promise that Rumble Fish could only hint at! Amazing! Really looking forward to this film!
@@doc8013 I think the scenes in colloseum look cheap and I feel like something is off about all the scenes with people. I don't know if it is the colors or the lightning or whatever but it feels like something from a TV show. The scenes with the rain and the statues or the shot at 0:50 looks great though.
@@hexerei02021 idk, I thought the brief second we saw of the Colosseum looked great. It's hard to tell cause it was legit like two seconds worth but I saw nothing that would lend it to looking like a TV show. The outside shots look amazing. The inside shots look like they're supposed to be a production.
Amid all the crap we (VFX Community) are facing, this comes out as a beautiful piece of art! The vision, treatment, execution, everything seems phenomenal. You're a great visionary Director, Mr. Coppola!!!
Please go and support this film & watch it in cinema. Francis came to give us something magical that movie studios wouldn’t touch. He has risked a lot to bring us this film, and it would be great for all lovers of cinema to make it worth his effort.
This is one of the very few trailers I've felt the need to watch several times in a row. Combined with the first look clip it clearly transports that the filmmaker behind this had an artistic vision in which his full heart and soul was so invested, that he took a close look at every minute detail to make them fit together like a puzzle that shows a mirror to his soul. I'm looking forward to the great honor that will be experiencing this work of art in a cinema with fellow connoisseurs of this medium.
Grace is gorgeous in this movie, a stunning example of elegance and youth. I remember when she was a young girl on America’s Got Talent; she can command a room, a true talent.
One film reviewer's positive title & subtitle: Francis Ford Coppola’s Wild and Delirious Fever Dream Inspires New Hope for the Future of Movies. More than 40 years in the making, Coppola's epic is as personal and egoless as you could ever hope to expect from a $120 million self-portrait that doubles as a fable about the fall of Ancient Rome.
FORGET The Oscar Awards. THIS Movie Doesn't Have To Follow The Rules Of The Biz. No Need To Hide Information From The Public, Able To Show A World We Once Lived In That's Been Destroyed And Hidden From Our Timeline. This Movie....WILL Show AMERICA It's Demise. It's Happening Now. 33
YES! Take my money NOW, I'm seing this in the theater multiple times and I'm buying this in 4K when it comes out on Amazon or anywhere else it's being sold.
Francis Ford Coppola to movie Executives after the private screening: "Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet…but your kids are gonna love it.....(just like my other movies)"
I'm 18 yo you're my teacher i learn many film trick from your film And now new film book megalopolis gonna release i can't wait to see and learn it god bless you francis i hope you live over 100 year and make more film ❤️ FC from Thailand 🇹🇭
I think I've watched this trailer over a hundred times now. I remember being in high school in Finland in the early 2000's and checking imdb at least weekly to see if they had gone from 'Pre-production' to 'Filming'. And it seems even better than my wildest dreams.
Now THAT's how you make a trailer, folks. Give me glimpses, tastes, but don't give away the whole thing. You had my curiosity, Francis. Now you have my attention :)
As an artist and lover of film and magic I see Francis and his approach to life as an inspiration beyond just a biography of achievements and "failures." He keeps telling everyone what's possible and truly hopes they hear and use his words. He used to say "there will be a Mozart of film and some kid will pick up a camera..." This was wonderful to hear and he still brings me back to that hopeful place every artist loves to begin at. Who can not wait to see this!? Thank you for the wine I enjoyed in film school Francis and for pulling this into reality like you do!
Francis Ford Coppola is one of my heroes. As sad as it feels like a swan song for the director, I'll witness this film through the best and biggest screen possible. I don't care about critics, or what social media has to say. I want CINEMA. Mr. Coppola IS CINEMA. I'll be there.
Adam Driver & Shia LaBeouf’s characters seem to be the protagonist & antagonist. If that’s the case, we’re about to witness fireworks between these two great actors.
Yes they are. And each one is a bad guy and good guy in their own way. Nothing is as it seems, that's the entire point of the film. I read the SCRIPT. 😻😻
I'm sure he knows it's not going to be a box office hit, which is why he only spent $120 million on it, which is comparatively low for a film of this size.
Who gives a F about millionaires selling their assets for passion projects? If it's good, it's good and I'll go see it, but I'm not blindly running to the cinema to personally put my poor cash in a millionaire's pocket. I'll wait for the reviews.
@@jonathandavis9507 He made a lot of audacious cinema which didn't immediately land with mainstream sensibilities. Then also, there was whatever Twixt was, lol.
I have never been more excited to see a film than this one. Passionate filmmaking by one of the great filmmakers! Mr. Coppola thank for your films, your instruction and inspiration!
Not gonna lie, this trailer must be the most detailed trailer i've ever seen, just pause a single frame and you see like multiple things you missed, actually impeccable.
Truly a pleasure to behold, now it's time to look at our society and ask ourselves: "Are we really happy?". Thank you Mr. Coppola for making wonders that make us wonder. Thank you for sharing celluloid that make us feel our thoughts and think about our feelings. I sense this film will be a glimpse into our lives, into our past, present and future.
Mr. Coppola, i want to say it's a high honor to not only watch the trailer for your next epic, let along commenting on it on your youtube account. Witch i now discovered and am now subscribed to. If you ever get the chance to read this. Take your time. I want to start by saying that as of two years ago. I finally watched your War Epic, Apocalypse Now (1979). Before i have may say about it, yes. I read about how painful the production was in great detail and from many others that have described about it. I can only imagine what how harsh those days for you and your entire cast and crew. That being said, it was all worth it in the end. Because you sir crafted THE Greatest War Epic i've ever had the pleasure of watching and would gladly own a dvd blue copy of. The films story, characters and the environment of war was beautifully portrayed for that. Last thing i wish to say is that Marlon Brando was absolutely perfect for the part of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz and in my opinion. There will never be another actor of his caliber. He was truly one of a kind. God rest his soul. With that out of the way. I've heard many of great deals about this passion project of yours, based on everything i've read about it so far and i can tell you good sir. Is that i cannot wait for this one. The scale and scope of how this film's described as sounds like a Classic Epic in the making for The Modern Age of Cinema. An element that has since been absent for years in Hollywood. Where everything about there films just goes about following the next trend in things, rather making films to entertain moviegoers and miss the basic understandings of why we love movies. With many small exceptions here and there. Like say Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), Denis Villeneuve's Dune Film Franchise (2021 - Present) and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023) ect. What this project is what i'm seeing is a return to those Classic Epics from the days of old and i can say i'm a huge fan of films. Mainly the ones with large scaled budgets types that give the film such a grand scaled and theatrical feel to it. Like entering a new world, bigger then your own. Now, upon reading the list inspirations you've gathered for this film. The part where you described it as a Roman Epic film set in Modern America. I was instantly on board to see this in theaters. Along with the ideas of your readings of the Roman historian Sallust and William Bolitho Ryall's book Twelve Against the Gods (1929) sounds like absolute genius use of inspiration to make a film about Lucius Sergius Catiline and Marcus Tullius Cicero and have those characters and their characterizations portrayed through Adam Driver as Cesar Catilina and Giancarlo Esposito as Mayor Franklyn Cicero. Another thing i can't to look forward to is the music. Combined the Roman aspect of it. It was jumping with excitement when reading that when Osvaldo Golijov wanted the score to blur the line between music and sound design. Given the ambiguity surrounding how the city and music of Rome is to sound for this film and that He relied on Hollywood portrayals and composed a Roman suite inspired by Miklós Rózsa's score for Ben-Hur (1959). That film i saw a few years back is one of my all time favorite Classical Epics and music for that film is one of Miklós Greatest Music Scores of his career. God rest his soul as well. Seeing that Chariot scene in the trailer gave me the idea of what to expect when the music hits for that scene and more so during the film. I'll also be checking out some of your older films, when i get the chance. But until then, i await this next Grand Epic to hit the big screens. If you read this, i want to say thank you making the time too and thank you for never giving up on this film. I'm sure many will love it. Take care, Mr. Coppola, God bless to you and your family.
This has my attention. Trailers can be deceiving, therefore I've learnt to curb my expectations, but from the trailer it looks like a breath of fresh air in the current desert of movies' originality.
The title of makes me think of "Metropolis" a film mainly known for being the first feature length SciFi movie ever made, but also has themes that have somehow become relevant again after 93 years. Watching this trailer confirms my suspicion Megalopolis at minimum draws inspiration from that 1927 film.
The fact that you're able to make a satire of these deeply bizarre and uncertain times, with an ultimate message of "Keep creating, don't give up hope for the future"...God, you really are a fucking good filmmaker.
"with an ultimate message of..." LOLLL this is the all time worst of these types of comments I've ever read. I'm glad you figured out the "ultimate message" of this movie that NO ONE HAS SEEN YET.
@@a.gillmax4173 To be fair it's inspired by a 1927 German silent film if not mistaken, so depending on how loose it is to the original material he may have in fact seen it already;)
@@a.gillmax4173 They're giving the movie the tagline "create the future" and all of Adam Driver's lines in this trailer are about not giving up hope, that having discourse and discussion about uncomfortable ideas is "basically a utopia" Obviously trailers are meant to sell you but I feel like the movie's message might be a little clearer than you'd expect
@@eelnedrojIt’s barely based on Metropolis, that story is about the creation of sentient life and explores robotics… this is elseworld story where the Roman Empire never fell. Not at all related aside for the similarity in name
Pretty much how the reviews have split. Some say there was a standing ovation. Others say no one understood. FFC compared it to when Apocalypse Now was released.
God bless Francis ford Coppola for going back to directing movies again and Kevin Costner too with his western horizon. At least these guys know what they want to make and give us what we want. Francis Ford Coppola is one of the best old school directors ever apart from Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Barry levinson, Brian de Palma and Steven Spielberg. He’s as good as the directors we lost over the years like William Friedkin, Tony Scott, Sidney lumet, Wolfgang Petersen, Richard donner, John frankenheimer, Joel Schumacher, Sydney pollack, and Alan J pakula.
This looks so surreal and grandiose it amazes me that a film industry would prefer reboot after reboot instead of actual art. People want real art, real art is commercial
but most consumers aren't people, they're dulled down instant gratification monkeys. additionally, to get a large enough audience you need something with a big enough built in audience / something that is familiar enough. most "real art" doesn't have this reach, occasionally it does, eg Dune. point is, the economics of big cinema require safety and very few filmmakers / films can balance responsibilities and time the market.
This is honestly breath taking, already this looks like one of the most beautiful movies ever made, with a real sense of classic silent era cinema blended with modern styles and techniques. I can't wait to finally see this Magnum Opus!
been re-watching this trailer a lot ever since it dropped. even though the reviews for the film have been mixed, I still get goosepimples from this ngl.
Speaking on behalf of all good old fashioned cinema buffs: no matter what the critics say or write, your legacy is embroidered in history as one of the very few who proved that cinema can be artistic and profoundly life changing. As always, we'll be impatiently waiting for the film to be opened in Italy. Our best wishes and good luck. In bocca al lupo Francis.
"Is this society, is this way we're living, the only one thats available to us? And when we ask these questions, when there's a dialogue about them, that basically is a utopia" that line is crazy!!! Ahhh im so excited for this movie
@@verbalkint4258 And how has it been going so far? The truth of the matter is, that people will never change, we will always be driven by greed & selfishness…the wise person stops the circle, and will not procreate. ✌️
Honestly as a "child of internet" era I'm exited to see this, I'd love to see the take of Coppola on the world after all these years. "We're taking back our city" the audiences have spoken. Love from iran. #WomanLifeFreedom
I got a little nostalgic/excited shiver when the American Zoetrope logo came up. Looks fantastic; cinema in all its wild, audacious ambition - as it ought to be, and mostly hasn't been for a less than Marvelous decade and a half. Welcome back, Mr. C. You've been missed.
I love this idea, and I love even more that Coppola made it despite receiving no support from the rest of the industry. Films should be made by filmmakers, not reptiles with MBAs.
Cannot wait for this, looks absolutely stunning! So good to see Coppola posting regular updates and trailers here. We are spoiled to be getting new pictures from legends like Scorsese and Coppola lately, it will be a privilege to see this in a theater
in my opinion, he hasn't had a hit since The Rainmaker in 1997. I have also never had the opportunity to see a Coppola film in theaters. I am looking forward to this. It looks different, and that's a good thing. Amazing that he funded it himself!
I dont think it will "underperform". There is so much hype about it. But with the budget yes, maybe. Amazon MGM and Apple are the ones negotiating still and for a theatrical release. So it will have a big studio behind it in the US. And considering the hype overseas also where its already gotten most of the distribution done I think this can become a surprise hit that the studios that turned it down will regret. I f ing hope so. But no matter what, as long as it is good...who cares
@@ImperialMJGah, the way the box office is right now I wouldn't be surprised if it flopped hard. I sure hope it finds success, though, I'm really rooting for Coppola with this one.
It probably will just because it's not the kind of film that audiences flock to, but considering Coppola is 85 years old, I'm sure he doesn't care. He made the film he wanted to make.
Classicism mixed with realistic sci fi, through the lenses of a visionary architect is a great framework. If u manage to balance both micro and macro elements of narrative, it'll be unforgettable. Congratulations
@@Wichitan 100%! Seeing a filmmaker swing for the fence with something risky and bold is exciting and refreshing. Hoping to see that again with Joker 2 also.
This very short teaser gives me all the information I need to know that this film is going to be a visually sumptuous. I will drive to PA to see it in that theater in the Philadelphia suburbs that shows 70mm IMAX. Even if it's a mess, it's going to be a fabulous mess. I hope the film is a huge box-office success for that reason.
I don't care what anyone says. I've been a fan of Coppola's work since watching "Dracula", "Apocalypse Now", "The Outsiders" AND "The Godfather" series. This really looks beautifully put together and it reminds me a little bit like Julie Taymor's adaptation of "Titus Andronicus" mixed with "Metropolis". I'm sure it'd be amazing to see on the big screen.
0:34 - what you see on the moving sign is a Latin transcript of what's being said by the announcer: "Dominae Dominique, et liberi cuiuslibet aetatis!" - "Ladies and Gentlemen and children of all ages". I'm 90% sure that "vos at convivium..." is supposed to be a partial translation of "welcome to the party" but, if so, it should read "ad convivium". Maybe it's supposed to be "vos ad convivium saluto/salutamus"?
My brother worked with Mr. Coppola in the movie Tetro, he was a young boy then. It was an honour then, and it is an honour again to see the next Coppola's film Megalopolis and the beautiful images in it. Thank you
I don't understand how can a studio bank on madame web but not a film from a legendary filmmaker?
Because studio heads have never once proven to be smarter over any filmmaker. Only their money speaks, not their brain.
If they knew what they were doing, film wouldn't be in its current state.
It's shit like this we can't have another good comedy movie in the likes of Tropic Thunder 😡
Because all the studio heads care about is which movie will be the next biggest blockbuster, they don’t care if it’s quality they just want it to make money.
Because Coppola is embroiled in a major ped uh file scandal since the 90's. That's why he became persona non grata in PedoWood and all his directorial efforts since the scandal have bombed and why no studio wants to work with him.
This is honestly brilliant. Studios said “Nah, can’t market it” so Coppola said “Fine, I’ll do it myself.” And now it’s #2 on trending.
It’s cuz he hasn’t made a hit since 1997
You haven't even seen the film bro. How can you call it brilliant?

Visually the most striking trailer I’ve seen since bladerunner 2049.
Agreed!
It’s like a dark Inception vibe
Completely agree. Also the parallels with bladerunner generally are pretty cool. When was the last time we got a completely original and densely thought-out scifi world like this?
Dune 2?
Batman, Dune and EEAAO also had great trailers
So many of us have been getting tired of prequels, sequels, remakes and reboots and clamoring for an original film. Here it is! Trailer looks amazing and I look forward to seeing this.
"Poor Things" is also a gem..
It's a remake lol
Maybe you should stop watching prequels, sequels, remakes and reboots and watch less marketed movies?
Are you sure? Because looking at most of the original films released this year, most of them didn't make a profit. I looked up the films from the US and the only original films I saw that made profit were The Beekeeper and Monkey Man. Things like Abigail, Civil War and The Fall Guy, that were rated positively, didn't make returns. I'm sure many people would like to see original films, but as the numbers show, there's not that many that show up to them
@@johnbasement7337visually? Yes. But intellectually it's garbage
The curtain call and passion project of one of the last remaining cinematic masters. He sold a portion of his wine estate for $120M to stake the production. This is one for the art form's true fans - neither for critics nor box office. I myself cannot wait to watch it.
Don’t care what the greedy studio heads say, this looks amazing! Can’t wait to see it!
Probably gonna be better than what they’re putting out
Word fuck these corporations they never have taste in anything & only care about the bottom line ! I hope this inspires others creatives to fund their own projects if possible so theres no limitations
Unfortunately this film lacks the ooomph of a modern day Disney or WB film overseen by seasoned executives imparting their magic touch (wisdom, experience and knowledge of market trends and what audiences really want)
This is an overblown, over budgeted, art flop. And distributers don't want to lose money.v simple as that.😊
Even better than rebel moon looked!
/s 🙂
I know that it has been a project that Coppola had in mind since a lot of time. Independently of how the movie will be, I am so very glad that he finally could make it real.
That is only something to be glad about if this film is something close to what he wanted it to be.
If Francis Ford Coppola was willing to sell off assets and put his very heart into it, you know it’s worth seeing. I’m in, are you?
Frick yeah! This is now my most anticipated movie of the year! I just hope I’ll be able to see it in theaters
These days, I'm far more interested in seeing a quality film on the big screen than a forgettable movie at home.
This movie looks unlike anything I've ever seen before. I feel like this will be a film to remember, a film we will look back on in 50 years and look at it the same way we look at Apocalypse Now almost 50 years later. A movie ahead of its time, and a swan song of a legendary director, one of the last great movies of this era.
Plus the reactions it’s getting from studio executives, that it’s so weird and surreal, are EXACTLY the same initial reactions people had with Apocalypse Now back in 1979.
@@socklock1957 I love the philosophical aspects of the movie, the juxtaposition of the fall of the Roman Republic with a dystopian America, even the movie analysis by this channel says : " about an entire civilization teetering on a similarly precarious ledge, devouring itself in a whirl of unchecked greed, self-absorption, and political propaganda, while a few bold dreamers push against the tide, striving to usher in a new dawn. Coppola himself - a grand visionary witnessing a once-great thing (call it cinema if you must) withering before his very eyes and determined to revivify it."
Go all out not with a bang, but with a meteor shower.
This is definitely something different
I dare you to watch Santa Sangre with an opened mind.... teeheeeeee
Definitely something we'll remember for decades to come. Thank you, Mr. Coppola
Looks intriguing but not as deep as Zack Snyder films.

I'm actually thinking this film has potential to be one of the greatest films ever released. Wow, what a trailer.
If your a real movie fan go see this in theatre, go see Nosferatu, hope you seen Dune 1 and 2, please support real directors, visionaries, the art will not die while I'm here
I'm getting excited to see this. Coppola's history as a filmmaker has always fascinated me. The successes. The failures. The love or the art form. The desire to be independent. His collaborations. He's one of the filmmakers that made me want to be in this industry, and I'm so grateful for it.
He peaked around 1975. By the mid 90's he was making stultifying trash like JACK.
Tom Hanks already proved that a grown man acting like a child just created an annoying retard, in BIG, 1988
but Robin Williams managed to play an even more annoying retard in JACK, 1996.
It's even less amusing now we know the details of Robin William's frantically desperate suicide.

@@hexerei02021 idk, I thought the brief second we saw of the Colosseum looked great. It's hard to tell cause it was legit like two seconds worth but I saw nothing that would lend it to looking like a TV show. The outside shots look amazing.

Amid all the crap we (VFX Community) are facing, this comes out as a beautiful piece of art! The vision, treatment, execution, everything seems phenomenal. You're a great visionary Director, Mr. Coppola!!!
I can’t stop watching this trailer
40 years in the making; that's dedication. Thank you for preserving the art of cinema.

This is one of the very few trailers I've felt the need to watch several times in a row. Combined with the first look clip it clearly transports that the filmmaker behind this had an artistic vision in which his full heart and soul was so invested, that he took a close look at every minute detail to make them fit together like a puzzle that shows a mirror to his soul. I'm looking forward to the great honor that will be experiencing this work of art in a cinema with fellow connoisseurs of this medium.
This deserves to be shown on as many screens here in the USA as possible.
When we don't ask these questions, and there isn't a dialogue about them. That basically is a dystopia.
Grace is gorgeous in this movie, a stunning example of elegance and youth. I remember when she was a young girl on America’s Got Talent; she can command a room, a true talent.
Im so happy movies of this caliber are still being made this is what cinema is about thank you Mr. Coppola 🙏🏻

One film reviewer's positive title & subtitle: Francis Ford Coppola’s Wild and Delirious Fever Dream Inspires New Hope for the Future of Movies. More than 40 years in the making, Coppola's epic is as personal and egoless as you could ever hope to expect from a $120 million self-portrait that doubles as a fable about the fall of Ancient Rome.
Finally some thought provoking cinema. Well done Mr. Coppola. Movies like this will last.
Considering this has been cooking in this man's mind for 40 odd years, I'm predicting this will win at least 8 Oscars.

I can't stop watching this trailer. ❤
I think I've watched this trailer over a hundred times now. I remember being in high school in Finland in the early 2000's and checking imdb at least weekly to see if they had gone from 'Pre-production' to 'Filming'. And it seems even better than my wildest dreams.
Now THAT's how you make a trailer, folks. Give me glimpses, tastes, but don't give away the whole thing.
You had my curiosity, Francis. Now you have my attention :)
Check's in the mail; no worries on that, OompaLoompaFu.
The fact that he makes a point of it being collaborative is a testament to what a great artist Coppola is.
As an artist and lover of film and magic I see Francis and his approach to life as an inspiration beyond just a biography of achievements and "failures." He keeps telling everyone what's possible and truly hopes they hear and use his words. He used to say "there will be a Mozart of film and some kid will pick up a camera..." This was wonderful to hear and he still brings me back to that hopeful place every artist loves to begin at. Who can not wait to see this!? Thank you for the wine I enjoyed in film school Francis and for pulling this into reality like you do!
💯
Major Studios should be ashamed that they don't give films like this with originality it's a damn shame 💯🤦🏽
Francis Ford Coppola is one of my heroes. As sad as it feels like a swan song for the director, I'll witness this film through the best and biggest screen possible. I don't care about critics, or what social media has to say. I want CINEMA. Mr. Coppola IS CINEMA. I'll be there.
Adam Driver & Shia LaBeouf’s characters seem to be the protagonist & antagonist. If that’s the case, we’re about to witness fireworks between these two great actors.
its actually the breaking bad guy that is the main antagonist but i thin shia is a key character
Shia LaBeouf is a great actor ?
@@chrisfoy6034In the script [SPOILERS AHEAD] Shia becomes a pretty big antagonist
Driver and Giancarlo Esposito are the rivals.
Yes they are. And each one is a bad guy and good guy in their own way. Nothing is as it seems, that's the entire point of the film. I read the SCRIPT. 😻😻
Oh my God, Sir Francis ford coppola, you've done it again, another legendary movie will grace our screens later this year. Thank you for The Godfather
Not only is it a Coppola movie, it's a Sci-Fi movie AND my brother was the Director of Photography for the Volumetric Capture!
I can't wait to see it!
This looks like a visual wonder. If we don't support this film, Mr. Coppola will have sold his vineyard in vain. I'm beyond excited
😂
I don't know how good his wine was, but I sure hope this will be up there with his old masterpieces
I'm sure he knows it's not going to be a box office hit, which is why he only spent $120 million on it, which is comparatively low for a film of this size.
Who gives a F about millionaires selling their assets for passion projects? If it's good, it's good and I'll go see it, but I'm not blindly running to the cinema to personally put my poor cash in a millionaire's pocket. I'll wait for the reviews.
No one forced Mr. Coppola to sell his vinyard.

When cinema needed him the most, Coppola answered the call!
This truly looks fantastic!
He has been doing this project for a looooong time.
Not gonna lie, this trailer must be the most detailed trailer i've ever seen, just pause a single frame and you see like multiple things you missed, actually impeccable.
Methinks Coppola himself cut this trailer.
I watched at 0,5 speed with many pauses
gggg
Truly a pleasure to behold, now it's time to look at our society and ask ourselves: "Are we really happy?". Thank you Mr. Coppola for making wonders that make us wonder. Thank you for sharing celluloid that make us feel our thoughts and think about our feelings. I sense this film will be a glimpse into our lives, into our past, present and future.
Mr. Coppola, i want to say it's a high honor to not only watch the trailer for your next epic, let along commenting on it on your youtube account. Witch i now discovered and am now subscribed to. If you ever get the chance to read this. Take your time.
I want to start by saying that as of two years ago. I finally watched your War Epic, Apocalypse Now (1979).
Before i have may say about it, yes. I read about how painful the production was in great detail and from many others that have described about it. I can only imagine what how harsh those days for you and your entire cast and crew. That being said, it was all worth it in the end. Because you sir crafted THE Greatest War Epic i've ever had the pleasure of watching and would gladly own a dvd blue copy of. The films story, characters and the environment of war was beautifully portrayed for that. Last thing i wish to say is that Marlon Brando was absolutely perfect for the part of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz and in my opinion. There will never be another actor of his caliber. He was truly one of a kind. God rest his soul.
With that out of the way. I've heard many of great deals about this passion project of yours, based on everything i've read about it so far and i can tell you good sir. Is that i cannot wait for this one. The scale and scope of how this film's described as sounds like a Classic Epic in the making for The Modern Age of Cinema. An element that has since been absent for years in Hollywood. Where everything about there films just goes about following the next trend in things, rather making films to entertain moviegoers and miss the basic understandings of why we love movies. With many small exceptions here and there. Like say Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), Denis Villeneuve's Dune Film Franchise (2021 - Present) and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023) ect. What this project is what i'm seeing is a return to those Classic Epics from the days of old and i can say i'm a huge fan of films. Mainly the ones with large scaled budgets types that give the film such a grand scaled and theatrical feel to it. Like entering a new world, bigger then your own.
Now, upon reading the list inspirations you've gathered for this film. The part where you described it as a Roman Epic film set in Modern America. I was instantly on board to see this in theaters. Along with the ideas of your readings of the Roman historian Sallust and William Bolitho Ryall's book Twelve Against the Gods (1929) sounds like absolute genius use of inspiration to make a film about Lucius Sergius Catiline and Marcus Tullius Cicero and have those characters and their characterizations portrayed through Adam Driver as Cesar Catilina and Giancarlo Esposito as Mayor Franklyn Cicero.
Another thing i can't to look forward to is the music. Combined the Roman aspect of it. It was jumping with excitement when reading that when Osvaldo Golijov wanted the score to blur the line between music and sound design. Given the ambiguity surrounding how the city and music of Rome is to sound for this film and that He relied on Hollywood portrayals and composed a Roman suite inspired by Miklós Rózsa's score for Ben-Hur (1959). That film i saw a few years back is one of my all time favorite Classical Epics and music for that film is one of Miklós Greatest Music Scores of his career. God rest his soul as well. Seeing that Chariot scene in the trailer gave me the idea of what to expect when the music hits for that scene and more so during the film.
I'll also be checking out some of your older films, when i get the chance. But until then, i await this next Grand Epic to hit the big screens. If you read this, i want to say thank you making the time too and thank you for never giving up on this film. I'm sure many will love it. Take care, Mr. Coppola, God bless to you and your family.
This has my attention. Trailers can be deceiving, therefore I've learnt to curb my expectations, but from the trailer it looks like a breath of fresh air in the current desert of movies' originality.
The title of makes me think of "Metropolis" a film mainly known for being the first feature length SciFi movie ever made, but also has themes that have somehow become relevant again after 93 years. Watching this trailer confirms my suspicion Megalopolis at minimum draws inspiration from that 1927 film.
I 👍
I watch this film for the 1st time this month. And now there's a new movie, ha!
Absolutely.... the closing of a cinematic circle. To those that understand, this means a lot.
The trailer gave me Brave New World vibes.
Occult predictive programming, both of them.
Who needs to spend money on an expensive marketing campaign when you have a banging trailer and a name like that?
This looks like the type of movie you need to see at the cinema
The fact that you're able to make a satire of these deeply bizarre and uncertain times, with an ultimate message of "Keep creating, don't give up hope for the future"...God, you really are a fucking good filmmaker.
"with an ultimate message of..." LOLLL this is the all time worst of these types of comments I've ever read. I'm glad you figured out the "ultimate message" of this movie that NO ONE HAS SEEN YET.
@@a.gillmax4173 To be fair it's inspired by a 1927 German silent film if not mistaken, so depending on how loose it is to the original material he may have in fact seen it already;)

@@a.gillmax4173 They're giving the movie the tagline "create the future" and all of Adam Driver's lines in this trailer are about not giving up hope, that having discourse and discussion about uncomfortable ideas is "basically a utopia"

I’m there!
even if it's a total mess it'll still be a beautiful and interesting and original one
Pretty much how the reviews have split. Some say there was a standing ovation. Others say no one understood. FFC compared it to when Apocalypse Now was released.
God bless Francis ford Coppola for going back to directing movies again and Kevin Costner too with his western horizon. At least these guys know what they want to make and give us what we want. Francis Ford Coppola is one of the best old school directors ever apart from Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Barry levinson, Brian de Palma and Steven Spielberg. He’s as good as the directors we lost over the years like William Friedkin, Tony Scott, Sidney lumet, Wolfgang Petersen, Richard donner, John frankenheimer, Joel Schumacher, Sydney pollack, and Alan J pakula.
Hi, Mr.Coppola
I just wanted to pay my respects to your wife who expired recently. Just keep going with movies like this. Don't stop!
This looks so surreal and grandiose it amazes me that a film industry would prefer reboot after reboot instead of actual art. People want real art, real art is commercial
but most consumers aren't people, they're dulled down instant gratification monkeys. additionally, to get a large enough audience you need something with a big enough built in audience / something that is familiar enough. most "real art" doesn't have this reach, occasionally it does, eg Dune. point is, the economics of big cinema require safety and very few filmmakers / films can balance responsibilities and time the market.
This is honestly breath taking, already this looks like one of the most beautiful movies ever made, with a real sense of classic silent era cinema blended with modern styles and techniques. I can't wait to finally see this Magnum Opus!
I'm beyond excited for this!!!
been re-watching this trailer a lot ever since it dropped.
even though the reviews for the film have been mixed, I still get goosepimples from this ngl.
Speaking on behalf of all good old fashioned cinema buffs: no matter what the critics say or write, your legacy is embroidered in history as one of the very few who proved that cinema can be artistic and profoundly life changing. As always, we'll be impatiently waiting for the film to be opened in Italy. Our best wishes and good luck. In bocca al lupo Francis.

I swear if they slapped an A24 logo on this and let them do the trailers and marketing, people would love this
I got a little nostalgic/excited shiver when the American Zoetrope logo came up. Looks fantastic; cinema in all its wild, audacious ambition - as it ought to be, and mostly hasn't been for a less than Marvelous decade and a half.
Welcome back, Mr. C. You've been missed.
I love this idea, and I love even more that Coppola made it despite receiving no support from the rest of the industry. Films should be made by filmmakers, not reptiles with MBAs.

Ai generated comment. Lazy too, as its the same comment posted on multiple videos.
Every frame in this trailer was amazing. Real cinematography and clarity.
in my opinion, he hasn't had a hit since The Rainmaker in 1997. I have also never had the opportunity to see a Coppola film in theaters. I am looking forward to this. It looks different, and that's a good thing. Amazing that he funded it himself!
Feels like a film that will underperform at the box office but which people will talk about forever. A work of art.
I dont think it will "underperform". There is so much hype about it. But with the budget yes, maybe. Amazon MGM and Apple are the ones negotiating still and for a theatrical release. So it will have a big studio behind it in the US. And considering the hype overseas also where its already gotten most of the distribution done I think this can become a surprise hit that the studios that turned it down will regret. I f ing hope so. But no matter what, as long as it is good...who cares
@@ImperialMJGah, the way the box office is right now I wouldn't be surprised if it flopped hard. I sure hope it finds success, though, I'm really rooting for Coppola with this one.
It probably will just because it's not the kind of film that audiences flock to, but considering Coppola is 85 years old, I'm sure he doesn't care. He made the film he wanted to make.
Since Blade Runner 2049, which I absolutely loved did poorly at the box office, you're probably right
@ImperialMJG I mean the budget is 120 million USD, which is a lot but not really that much by modern blockbuster standards
I am not missing this movie! This could be the greatest film ever made. And the greatest comeback!
Classicism mixed with realistic sci fi, through the lenses of a visionary architect is a great framework. If u manage to balance both micro and macro elements of narrative, it'll be unforgettable. Congratulations

Knowing the director gave up his wealth to make his dream film I’m definitely going to watch this movie.
Reminds me of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis
This very short teaser gives me all the information I need to know that this film is going to be a visually sumptuous. I will drive to PA to see it in that theater in the Philadelphia suburbs that shows 70mm IMAX. Even if it's a mess, it's going to be a fabulous mess. I hope the film is a huge box-office success for that reason.
I don't care what anyone says. I've been a fan of Coppola's work since watching "Dracula", "Apocalypse Now", "The Outsiders" AND "The Godfather" series. This really looks beautifully put together and it reminds me a little bit like Julie Taymor's adaptation of "Titus Andronicus" mixed with "Metropolis". I'm sure it'd be amazing to see on the big screen.
