In an age of cinematic structure saturated with sequels and remakes, Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis becomes the flagship of originality. The world wide web breathes fire with the released teaser of the movie. From the looks of it, the audience will be transported to another world that the real world cannot offer.
Coppola, who’s known for his masterpieces such as the Godfather and Apocalypse Now, now dares the audience to behold the New York of dreams arising out of the ashes and becoming an aerial wonder.
Movie teaser, a collage of enigmatic images with promotional film lines, presenting a star cast headlined by Adam Driver. The movie will not be about the process of reestablishing an utopian paradise, but instead show how it came about after a catastrophe.
In this future universe, the fight between Adam Driver, a visionary leader and Giancarlo Esposito, who represents the conservative side is the main narrative. Nathalie Emmanuel, on the other hand, becomes the centre of an intricate web of divided loyalties.
Coppola’s dream of megacities is not just a film. It’s a long-term project that has been in development for many years. Watching the trailer can give you just a mere insight to a story of a grand and glorious epic mixing the captured glory of ancient Rome with the complicated manners of current life.
Preparing to exhibit at the renowned Cannes Film Festival, it is obvious that Coppola has her objectives to reform the limits of narratives in filmmaking one more time.
