On Wednesday morning, Lionsgate dropped a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's “Megalopolis,” offering the first official look at the science fiction drama starring Adam Driver that's said to have "polarized critics" after its May 16 premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
In the sneak peek at the film — due to hit theaters in the United States on September 27 — a misguided marketing team made an apparent attempt to riff on the mixed buzz, using several quotes from famous film critics that were later revealed to be fraudulent — leading to the trailer being pulled down hours after it went up.
