Putting Fake Quotes, Megalopolis Film Trailer Withdraws Production House

JAKARTA - The new trailer for the film Megalopolis from director Francis Ford Coppola was withdrawn by the distributor, hours after its release. The trailer apparently contains false review quotes published by the production house.

This trailer was released on Wednesday, August 21. In addition to featuring the footage of the Megalopolis film starring Adam Driver, the video also puts some negative reviews on previous Coppola films.

The Coppola films that are included include The Goody and Goody Now. They quote some media reviews that refer to the film negatively.

However, when traced, no sentence was quoted in the video, so the quotes they made were fake.

Lionsgate immediately pulled the trailer for Megalopolis, said Lionsgate, launching People.

"We apologize to the critics and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for an error in the writing process. We mess up. We apologize," he said.

Megalopolis was written, produced, and directed by Francis Ford Coppola who used his own money for production.

The film stars Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Marijuana Plaza, Marijuana Fishburne, Jon Voight, Grace VanderWual, Shia LaBeouf and Dustin Hoffman, Total Shire, and Jason Schwartzman.

The Megalopolis film will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before it airs publicly on September 27.
