How is this going to work for a digital release? Is somebody gonna randomly knock on my door and say, "Uh, I'm here for the live section"?

When a filmmaker thinks outside the box, too literally, Im gonna keep that in mind for my movie time

I mean, id watch it just to see how crazy it is

sounds like it could be a limited time cinema event in select theatres, you’re given a card with the lines on it before entering the theater and the film could have an audio que for when the audience says the lines. i feel like that would be really fun

It could be possible that this particular 'interactive' clip was exclusively for Cannes, and will not be included in regular distribution prints.

I love that filmmakers like him are doing things out of the ordinary. Some of the films I enjoy the most are weird indie films that don’t feel mainstream. It definitely looks weird, but in an entertaining way. I’d pay money to see it! Let us know if it releases

My most anticipated film of the year. 40 years in the making.

I worked as a extra on it and I'm super excited to see it! We need original movies. I'm not worried about critics because critics aren't real people. They're critics. The people are tired of remakes and superheroes. We need Megalopolis. Having worked on the Movie. I can assure you it's awesome.

Reminds me of Terminator 2 3D from Universal Studios Hollywood. That attraction was ahead of its time. ;)

I kinda feel like live actor part is an attempt to create something that cant be replaced by AI.

Fuck the reviews, I’m hyped.

Stopping kids from saying first

How do people not understand Beau is Afraid? I watched that home and I thought it was amazing and deep. I couldn’t stop watching.

This reminds me of that “Thor: Ratnarok in 4D” promo thing

This honestly sounds a lot like something out of a attraction from Universal or Disneyland like Muppet Vision 3D, Terminator 2 3D or recently Jason Bourne Stuntacular we’re they have physical actors or objects interacting with the screen.

They're doing The Toxic Avenger so freaking dirty. I've been waiting so long.

Can people stop saying, "gonna change the way we watch movies". No! Nothing is going to change the way we watch movies. Its still on a screen, and it's still a movie that would have taken inspiration from somewhere. This saying makes no sense.

The hubris is extraordinary. FFC opined that we will collectively hail it as a must-see classic & we will view it at least once a year & it will spark a dialogue resulting in a closer step towards a true utopia.

A mad tale in the spirit of Greek/Roman mythology with William Castle gimmicks woven into the movie? Sounds like a winner to me. Very excited about seeing this.

Coppola is the only director to go above and beyond to create his work

I remember at Universal Studios they used to do something like this with terminator where it was a live performance mixed with a movie and then it turned into a full movie when the actor playing the terminator drove the motorcycle straight into the screen

I mean we did have Netflix experiment with the choice viewership and honestly I liked it, it needed some work but the idea to have a choice based interaction opens up so many avenues like tell tale and movies combine, it could work in theatres like depending on what it is, for example a live song or background singers to accommodate a big action sequence or final showdown idk entertainment is meant to be ever growing and filled with creativity so I see no issues with it, shows me you want to do it big

It reminds me of the cartoon Futurama when they would go to the movies and the person in the movie would ask a question and they had buttons on their seat like 1&2 but it seems he wants microphone at a seat and u wouldn't know which one and it would pop out of the seat when that sequence of the movie happens. Yeah I don't think any studio will take this on maybe A24 but they just got into the door of telling weird awesome stories.

I love it when talented and established directors go crazy

Deadpool coming out the screen just makes me think of the old Terminator ride that was half film half live acting.

When you mentioned the real actor interacting with adam driver, I was wondering if it had to do with speaking to someone in the past. Then you say he has time traveling powers. So is he speaking to someone in the past?

It reminds me of the movie Clue where every screening had different killers

Disney does this kind of thing all the time in their parks. My favorite is Muppets 4D, but they do it at several attractions/shows. It’s a fun idea to try it in this venue though.

I think this movie will expand beyond what people don't currently understand, I feel like it'll be an amalgamation of insane ideas, philosophies, and concepts that aren't publicly explored, but need to be

I'm glad he went for it, we need bold filmmakers. Some people will love it and it will inspire future film makers

Society needs this movie. I was at CANNES & I stood for 10 minutes and applauded.

This is so interesting to me, I guess I need to see this now 🤔

This movie *COULD* be revolutionary, if they decide to ever take it to theatres, they could put this movie in 1-2 theatres across each state/province, and have castings for local actors who have a decent resume doing plays/stage productions, it *COULD* work if given the right amount of love, im surprised A24 hasn’t jumped at the thought of this given how experimental they are as a studio, it gives the viewer a similar but different experience everytime they watch it depending on the person performing the in person role, and it also helps build up and coming actors resumes and help them get the jump into acting for big production films They could also have a VA voice the role of the interviewer and have an actor pantomime the lines and body movements, that way they can keep a more consistent viewing experience, either way it helps boost somebody’s resume while also breaking the code of modern cinema

When you realize that everybody has a voice activated remote at home now, and you could easily program the digital release to prompt questions on screen you got to speak into the voice remote to move the movie along.

This reminds of the band Starset at their recent shows they had a Hologram on stage that talks to the audience and other stuff too and also a short film that plays in between songs and at one point the guy in the movie talks to the Hologram Lady on stage it blew my mind and was one of the most Creative and greatest Concerts I've ever been to

I never heard of this movie until I saw your video 😂

They did this audience interaction thing years ago in Aurora, Colorado.

the audience can be part of the movie thats cool

The Deadpool idea sounds kinda dope ngl

Yo this sick!!

This is definitely interesting ..worth a watch

I'd never heard about this, but a friend suggested I watch the new trailer for 'Cosmopolis...a new movie with Kylo Ren' and I'd said no that's Robert Pattinson and that movie's bat shit crazy. Then I realized this was what they meant, and I saw the trailer. Wrong movie but I was still right.

Kinda reminds me of those old B horror movies where they would pull pranks on the audience with special effects and costumed actors

I want to know how you watch this movie on the las vegas sphere or in a car.

I have signed up to do the live section at my local theater

There’s such thing as too much and not necessary and this hits that mark I believe

Maybe when you buy a physical release you get a person for that sense that comes with the film no matter what

I like crazy films - can’t wait to see it

This kinda stuff has happened before it’s not insane, most likely theaters and streaming will get a slightly altered cut to adjust for those forth wall breaks.

I can't wait to see what the director has in store, Besides James Cameron Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola is one of the best directors living today

Experimental movies like this have existed before--back in the 90s I went to an old movie (presented by the local Albuquerque film-preservation group Basement Films) that, during its projection, had someone stand up in the crowd with a prop gun & shoot a character on screen & then run out. / I think this is the kind of movie all cinephiles will need to see. Personally, I think it looks cool.

I think an idea they could do is by filming the qna and include it to digital so they can have it without needing a actor

Final Destination 3 dvd has a feature where you can choose their fate so that’s some outside the box thinking that has happened before.

This could work if it was done like a travelling stage play. Where it plays in one city twice a day for a week or two and then moves to another city. Maybe instead of talking to studios he should be taking to broadway companies. Or just does the rounds at the various international film festivals.

Honestly that’s cool, it’s combining theater and theatre 🎭

What if in Deadpool and Wolverine the portal they jump through brings them into the theater.

I presume they might film the irl interaction within the film its self Similarly to End of Evangelion

Woody Allan did a movie where the actor in a movie comes off the screen , into the audience !

how are we meant to watch this movie at home? do they send an actor to your house bundled with the dvd?

God rocks did it before. They played animated version of the characters and they came on stage live part of the concert

The reviews I saw for this were either 'It's an unmitigated disaster' or 'The ravings of a mad man'. No in between.

I love weird stuff like Beau is Afraid and definitely want to give this one a shot

MadGod is another one of those weird movies that was envisioned for decades and just recently finished. It has split reviews but I absolutely love it for its weirdness and strange darkness. I hope this will be a similar experience

I worked as an extra on set for 3 months and it’s going to be so good! It will do well. Genius director, great cast and so much funnn

can't believe Coppola invented stage theatre in 2024

I think the big problem is they would fuss to find a screen actors guild number otherwise they could not do the movie with the live action person

this stage actor talking to screen thing was literally in Jurassic Park

This reminds me of the terry gilliam film brazil which is very devisive and is probably one of the weirdest movies ive ever seen and if you never heard of it look up the trailer for it. The story is about man being wanted in this noir world and he chasing after this girl because he seen her in his dreams but watch the trailer first if this sounds interesting to you.

It's simple. You do it as a side projection for regular releases and you hire an actor for the special releases. Just like what Tarantino did with The Hateful Eight screenings in IMAX film.

I live in the Netherlands, how would they do this?

Everything is digital today. Everything available on demand whenever you want it without human interraction. Here's a piece of art that took someone 40 years to create that requires ONE performer, and its breaking peoples minds despite theathre and live orchestras being a thing for hundreds of years. This movie rocks. Id love to read the lines when watching this movie with my friends and family.

Lol I worked on this movie for 6 months and its definitely an experience

Out of all the wild movies that have come out in the past 50 years this cant be that crazy. Somebody needs to help him put this out cuz I'm interested.

Haven't seen this film but I am looking forward to it, its good to see Shia Labeouf back in a big film.

Actual William Castle move. I swear every filmmaker in the future is just gonna be doing William Castle gimmicks to sell their movies.

Late Night w/ the Devil couoldve easily done something like this.

Realistically, theaters would just need to place an Usher in the back row, watching the whole film until the scene comes up. Isn’t impossible to do, but it would be tough.

Maybe they can choose a random viewer in the theater to do the 4th wall break to have a chance to participate in the movie instead of having to get peolpe that work at the theater to do it for multiple screenings.

brother bro mentioned ayyyyeee

Can you imagine going in knowing nothing about this movie and then your local AMC theater employee suddenly walks in and talks to Adam Driver? I’d be freaking out

Love it or hate it he just did something that’s never been done before, and that’s huge

Provavelmente será como a Netflix fez em algumas de suas produções como Black Mirror, onde será possível interagir com a cena durante a reprodução. Ao menos neste momento, esta possibilidade será restrita aos App's de streaming. Ou seja, Nada de interações no cinema. Mas, considero muito interessante esta nova forma de compartilhar histórias. Obrigado pela informação.

it’s just gonna feel like an ASMR role play scene

i was basically that when i looking at on instagram by director of kojima from death standing which is that we getting a live action movie of course but i saw kojima post megalopolis i was like what the freak is this well i mean i saw every cast by laurence fishburne i mean i like this charecter

People talking to a movie screen? Happens all the time. Getting them to shut up is the trick 😉

It will soon Megalopois will be up there with the likes of Rocky Horror Picture Show where the audiance interact with the screen.

the studios won't take it because it's his take on the fall of the Hollywood system

I really want to see ‘Megalopolis’

Francis must be a heavy shakespear fan lol

I think it might be just a way to get the movie advertised as it’s already out of pocket money. And you know early screeners will take video of it. So what is the best idea, Make a section of the movie that can easily be ADR and then have someone in the screening talk to the screen. That’s a good way to have people want to see what the movie is about. And if that is FFCs vision, then the studio would just say to ADR the section if they can’t get any actor, which helps with cost as no theater is going to want to make someone sit in the theater to act with the movie. Common sense is the just add the spoken lines to the movie.

If this movie was on a disc or a streaming service how would this work would they show a filmed scene from a theatre or would they send someone to break into your home just to reenact the scene😂

So if we watch it at a theater will There be an actual actor show up for each screening? They gotta get paid a lot just to be there 😂 but dang man I really wanna see this it’s weird but interesting

Coppola and his nephew nick cage putting bangers out 😂

And wait 10-20 years when it’ll be classic

I feel like some of the positive reviews are just because of who the director is.

This is so cool

What about Home streaming, close captions, for the people at home

Obviously this is something only for the Cannes screening or select screenings smh

bro do you know what he did behind the scenes its wild af

eh i'm good. i got other films to get very hyped for lie alien romulus,transformers one,and sonic movie 3. (if i hear someone say that i'm glazing shoosh)
