Overview

• Megadoc had its world premiere in the Venice Classics section on Aug. 28, 2025.
• StudioCanal acquired all media rights outside North America, with Utopia handling the U.S. release set for Sept. 19.
• The documentary corroborates reports of a troubled shoot, capturing on-set clashes that include tensions with Shia LaBeouf and noting production designer Beth Mickle’s mid-shoot departure.
• Figgis highlights eye-catching line items and scale, citing $27 million for production design, $18.8 million for visual effects, $9.4 million for transportation, and more than $1.6 million for catering, alongside decisions like buying a hotel for the team.
• Shot with a minimal crew and present-tense focus, the film shows Figgis respecting access limits from some actors such as Adam Driver and it largely sidesteps previously reported misconduct allegations even as it references other documented production turmoil.
