Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' Unveils First Trailer, Eyes Cannes Premiere

The self-financed epic by the legendary director, featuring a star-studded cast, aims to captivate audiences with a unique vision of a futuristic New York.

The trailer reveals Adam Driver as an architect with the ability to stop time, set against the backdrop of a city in crisis.
Coppola, having invested $120 million of his own funds, reflects a personal commitment to the film, which he dedicates to his late wife.
Despite its ambitious scope and high-profile cast, 'Megalopolis' still seeks a U.S. distributor after mixed initial screenings.
Set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17, the film represents Coppola's most personal and visionary project in years.
Industry insiders are cautious about the film's market potential, though it has been compared to cult classics for its unique narrative and style.
