This is honestly brilliant. Studios said “Nah, can’t market it” so Coppola said “Fine, I’ll do it myself.” And now it’s #2 on trending.

I don't understand how can a studio bank on madame web but not a film from a legendary filmmaker?

I am 25 years old and have never seen a Coppola picture in a theater. Thank God for this opportunity. I hope it is one of his greats!

obsessed with the dreamy, ancient-modern, glossy apocalyptic mood

“See it in IMAX” before the movie even has a US distribution deal is truly calling your shot.

Mr. Coppola, I am going to watch this on the BIGGEST screen possible.

Ladies and gents, Coppola made us an offer we couldn't refuse.

I'm going through a bit of a mid-life crisis as I fear that my most productive years are behind me... and then I see this force of nature coming from an 85 year old man, and oh man it's such an inspiration.

The return of the American Zoetrope logo is the coolest thing ever.

Looks to be his most ambitious film since Apocalypse Now, definitely going to support it at the cinema.

The zero fucks given of a renaissance man. The enthusiasm of the kid. Total filmmaker

I'm so happy, movies like this get rarer and rarer these days. No Franchise, No Remake, No prequel or sequel, No "based on" - just a unique standalone, building it's own world and rules. I really hope it will be good

Visually the most striking trailer I’ve seen since bladerunner 2049.

Don’t care what the greedy studio heads say, this looks amazing! Can’t wait to see it!

So many of us have been getting tired of prequels, sequels, remakes and reboots and clamoring for an original film. Here it is! Trailer looks amazing and I look forward to seeing this.

My generation it’s lucky to be able to see a Coppola’s picture on the big screen!

I know that it has been a project that Coppola had in mind since a lot of time. Independently of how the movie will be, I am so very glad that he finally could make it real.

This movie looks unlike anything I've ever seen before. I feel like this will be a film to remember, a film we will look back on in 50 years and look at it the same way we look at Apocalypse Now almost 50 years later. A movie ahead of its time, and a swan song of a legendary director, one of the last great movies of this era.

If Francis Ford Coppola was willing to sell off assets and put his very heart into it, you know it’s worth seeing. I’m in, are you?

'Dune: Part Two', 'Megalopolis' and 'Joker: Folie à Deux' are gonna be my three films for this year 👌

Please go and support this film & watch it in cinema. Francis came to give us something magical that movie studios wouldn’t touch. He has risked a lot to bring us this film, and it would be great for all lovers of cinema to make it worth his effort.

I don't care what the critics, distributors etc are saying: I really, really want to see this film.

Amid all the crap we (VFX Community) are facing, this comes out as a beautiful piece of art! The vision, treatment, execution, everything seems phenomenal. You're a great visionary Director, Mr. Coppola!!!

I'm actually thinking this film has potential to be one of the greatest films ever released. Wow, what a trailer.

I'm getting excited to see this. Coppola's history as a filmmaker has always fascinated me. The successes. The failures. The love or the art form. The desire to be independent. His collaborations. He's one of the filmmakers that made me want to be in this industry, and I'm so grateful for it.

It looks like a visual spectacle that is distinctly Francis Ford Coppola, fulfilling the promise that Rumble Fish could only hint at! Amazing! Really looking forward to this film!

The curtain call and passion project of one of the last remaining cinematic masters. He sold a portion of his wine estate for $120M to stake the production. This is one for the art form's true fans - neither for critics nor box office. I myself cannot wait to watch it.

Terry Gilliam + Fritz Lang + Ridley Scott = Megalopolis

Adam Driver & Shia LaBeouf’s characters seem to be the protagonist & antagonist. If that’s the case, we’re about to witness fireworks between these two great actors.

This looks so surreal and grandiose it amazes me that a film industry would prefer reboot after reboot instead of actual art. People want real art, real art is commercial

One film reviewer's positive title & subtitle: Francis Ford Coppola’s Wild and Delirious Fever Dream Inspires New Hope for the Future of Movies. More than 40 years in the making, Coppola's epic is as personal and egoless as you could ever hope to expect from a $120 million self-portrait that doubles as a fable about the fall of Ancient Rome.

Now THAT's how you make a trailer, folks. Give me glimpses, tastes, but don't give away the whole thing. You had my curiosity, Francis. Now you have my attention :)

Definitely something we'll remember for decades to come. Thank you, Mr. Coppola

Finally some thought provoking cinema. Well done Mr. Coppola. Movies like this will last.

Major Studios should be ashamed that they don't give films like this with originality it's a damn shame 💯🤦🏽

Francis Ford Coppola to movie Executives after the private screening: "Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet…but your kids are gonna love it.....(just like my other movies)"

The creator of the Godfather and Apacolypse Now is making a new movie, I’ll be there.

Mr. Coppola, i want to say it's a high honor to not only watch the trailer for your next epic, let along commenting on it on your youtube account. Witch i now discovered and am now subscribed to. If you ever get the chance to read this. Take your time. I want to start by saying that as of two years ago. I finally watched your War Epic, Apocalypse Now (1979). Before i have may say about it, yes. I read about how painful the production was in great detail and from many others that have described about it. I can only imagine what how harsh those days for you and your entire cast and crew. That being said, it was all worth it in the end. Because you sir crafted THE Greatest War Epic i've ever had the pleasure of watching and would gladly own a dvd blue copy of. The films story, characters and the environment of war was beautifully portrayed for that. Last thing i wish to say is that Marlon Brando was absolutely perfect for the part of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz and in my opinion. There will never be another actor of his caliber. He was truly one of a kind. God rest his soul. With that out of the way. I've heard many of great deals about this passion project of yours, based on everything i've read about it so far and i can tell you good sir. Is that i cannot wait for this one. The scale and scope of how this film's described as sounds like a Classic Epic in the making for The Modern Age of Cinema. An element that has since been absent for years in Hollywood. Where everything about there films just goes about following the next trend in things, rather making films to entertain moviegoers and miss the basic understandings of why we love movies. With many small exceptions here and there. Like say Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), Denis Villeneuve's Dune Film Franchise (2021 - Present) and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023) ect. What this project is what i'm seeing is a return to those Classic Epics from the days of old and i can say i'm a huge fan of films. Mainly the ones with large scaled budgets types that give the film such a grand scaled and theatrical feel to it. Like entering a new world, bigger then your own. Now, upon reading the list inspirations you've gathered for this film. The part where you described it as a Roman Epic film set in Modern America. I was instantly on board to see this in theaters. Along with the ideas of your readings of the Roman historian Sallust and William Bolitho Ryall's book Twelve Against the Gods (1929) sounds like absolute genius use of inspiration to make a film about Lucius Sergius Catiline and Marcus Tullius Cicero and have those characters and their characterizations portrayed through Adam Driver as Cesar Catilina and Giancarlo Esposito as Mayor Franklyn Cicero. Another thing i can't to look forward to is the music. Combined the Roman aspect of it. It was jumping with excitement when reading that when Osvaldo Golijov wanted the score to blur the line between music and sound design. Given the ambiguity surrounding how the city and music of Rome is to sound for this film and that He relied on Hollywood portrayals and composed a Roman suite inspired by Miklós Rózsa's score for Ben-Hur (1959). That film i saw a few years back is one of my all time favorite Classical Epics and music for that film is one of Miklós Greatest Music Scores of his career. God rest his soul as well. Seeing that Chariot scene in the trailer gave me the idea of what to expect when the music hits for that scene and more so during the film. I'll also be checking out some of your older films, when i get the chance. But until then, i await this next Grand Epic to hit the big screens. If you read this, i want to say thank you making the time too and thank you for never giving up on this film. I'm sure many will love it. Take care, Mr. Coppola, God bless to you and your family.

Who needs to spend money on an expensive marketing campaign when you have a banging trailer and a name like that?

Not gonna lie, this trailer must be the most detailed trailer i've ever seen, just pause a single frame and you see like multiple things you missed, actually impeccable.

You're alive in a time when coppola is still making movies.. Grateful

Knowing the director gave up his wealth to make his dream film I’m definitely going to watch this movie.

God bless Francis ford Coppola for going back to directing movies again and Kevin Costner too with his western horizon. At least these guys know what they want to make and give us what we want. Francis Ford Coppola is one of the best old school directors ever apart from Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Barry levinson, Brian de Palma and Steven Spielberg. He’s as good as the directors we lost over the years like William Friedkin, Tony Scott, Sidney lumet, Wolfgang Petersen, Richard donner, John frankenheimer, Joel Schumacher, Sydney pollack, and Alan J pakula.

When we don't ask these questions, and there isn't a dialogue about them. That basically is a dystopia.

This looks like a visual wonder. If we don't support this film, Mr. Coppola will have sold his vineyard in vain. I'm beyond excited

I don't care what anyone says. I've been a fan of Coppola's work since watching "Dracula", "Apocalypse Now", "The Outsiders" AND "The Godfather" series. This really looks beautifully put together and it reminds me a little bit like Julie Taymor's adaptation of "Titus Andronicus" mixed with "Metropolis". I'm sure it'd be amazing to see on the big screen.

I can't stop watching this trailer. ❤

Considering this has been cooking in this man's mind for 40 odd years, I'm predicting this will win at least 8 Oscars.

40 years in the making; that's dedication. Thank you for preserving the art of cinema.

This is one of the very few trailers I've felt the need to watch several times in a row. Combined with the first look clip it clearly transports that the filmmaker behind this had an artistic vision in which his full heart and soul was so invested, that he took a close look at every minute detail to make them fit together like a puzzle that shows a mirror to his soul. I'm looking forward to the great honor that will be experiencing this work of art in a cinema with fellow connoisseurs of this medium.

YES! Take my money NOW, I'm seing this in the theater multiple times and I'm buying this in 4K when it comes out on Amazon or anywhere else it's being sold.

The cloud hand grabbing the moon is so trippy.

The title of makes me think of "Metropolis" a film mainly known for being the first feature length SciFi movie ever made, but also has themes that have somehow become relevant again after 93 years. Watching this trailer confirms my suspicion Megalopolis at minimum draws inspiration from that 1927 film.

Honestly as a "child of internet" era I'm exited to see this, I'd love to see the take of Coppola on the world after all these years. "We're taking back our city" the audiences have spoken. Love from iran. #WomanLifeFreedom

Im so happy movies of this caliber are still being made this is what cinema is about thank you Mr. Coppola 🙏🏻

Looks bonkers. It’s either gonna be a messy busfire or a masterpiece. Hard to see it being in the middle. I’m there!

This deserves to be shown on as many screens here in the USA as possible.

Truly a pleasure to behold, now it's time to look at our society and ask ourselves: "Are we really happy?". Thank you Mr. Coppola for making wonders that make us wonder. Thank you for sharing celluloid that make us feel our thoughts and think about our feelings. I sense this film will be a glimpse into our lives, into our past, present and future.

I love this idea, and I love even more that Coppola made it despite receiving no support from the rest of the industry. Films should be made by filmmakers, not reptiles with MBAs.

0:34 - what you see on the moving sign is a Latin transcript of what's being said by the announcer: "Dominae Dominique, et liberi cuiuslibet aetatis!" - "Ladies and Gentlemen and children of all ages". I'm 90% sure that "vos at convivium..." is supposed to be a partial translation of "welcome to the party" but, if so, it should read "ad convivium". Maybe it's supposed to be "vos ad convivium saluto/salutamus"?

As an artist and lover of film and magic I see Francis and his approach to life as an inspiration beyond just a biography of achievements and "failures." He keeps telling everyone what's possible and truly hopes they hear and use his words. He used to say "there will be a Mozart of film and some kid will pick up a camera..." This was wonderful to hear and he still brings me back to that hopeful place every artist loves to begin at. Who can not wait to see this!? Thank you for the wine I enjoyed in film school Francis and for pulling this into reality like you do!

Reminds me of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis

When cinema needed him the most, Coppola answered the call! This truly looks fantastic!

This looks like the type of movie you need to see at the cinema

Hi, Mr.Coppola I just wanted to pay my respects to your wife who expired recently. Just keep going with movies like this. Don't stop!

Speaking on behalf of all good old fashioned cinema buffs: no matter what the critics say or write, your legacy is embroidered in history as one of the very few who proved that cinema can be artistic and profoundly life changing. As always, we'll be impatiently waiting for the film to be opened in Italy. Our best wishes and good luck. In bocca al lupo Francis.

Francis Ford Coppola is one of my heroes. As sad as it feels like a swan song for the director, I'll witness this film through the best and biggest screen possible. I don't care about critics, or what social media has to say. I want CINEMA. Mr. Coppola IS CINEMA. I'll be there.

Definitely going to see this. Finally……some originality. Especially since corporate Hollywood didn’t want to finance it.

Classicism mixed with realistic sci fi, through the lenses of a visionary architect is a great framework. If u manage to balance both micro and macro elements of narrative, it'll be unforgettable. Congratulations

"Is this society, is this way we're living, the only one thats available to us? And when we ask these questions, when there's a dialogue about them, that basically is a utopia" that line is crazy!!! Ahhh im so excited for this movie

The fact that he makes a point of it being collaborative is a testament to what a great artist Coppola is.

I'll definitely go see this at the cinema - looks interesting & Coppola has produced many legendary films!

This might be my fav movie

This is honestly breath taking, already this looks like one of the most beautiful movies ever made, with a real sense of classic silent era cinema blended with modern styles and techniques. I can't wait to finally see this Magnum Opus!

Feels like a film that will underperform at the box office but which people will talk about forever. A work of art.

This very short teaser gives me all the information I need to know that this film is going to be a visually sumptuous. I will drive to PA to see it in that theater in the Philadelphia suburbs that shows 70mm IMAX. Even if it's a mess, it's going to be a fabulous mess. I hope the film is a huge box-office success for that reason.

This is omg the best thing I have seen in months :))))) I am sure a lot of people must haven't understood it and failed to realise it's potential.

When an artist cares more about his work and making something that will be talked about, and viewed over profits.

This has my attention. Trailers can be deceiving, therefore I've learnt to curb my expectations, but from the trailer it looks like a breath of fresh air in the current desert of movies' originality.

The more the reviews says its bad, the more I want to watch it. Maybe because it could be Coppola's last work.

So far, this just looks like a big perfume ad

This movie has something special about it, that I don’t think any other movie has coming out this year. Wonder and Imagination with an original story!

Architecture and design elements central to the film. Haven't seen that strong architecture in film since since Blade Runner and 2001 but let's wait and see...

I have never been this glued to a trailer.

Que apareça logo uma distribuidora do filme para os cinemas no Brasil, gostaria demais de assistir no cinema. ❤

I got a little nostalgic/excited shiver when the American Zoetrope logo came up. Looks fantastic; cinema in all its wild, audacious ambition - as it ought to be, and mostly hasn't been for a less than Marvelous decade and a half. Welcome back, Mr. C. You've been missed.

I saw this film in Cannes on Saturday 25, with the surprising presence of Mr. Coppola to present it and Mr. Wenders as a spectator. It's a visual masterpiece!

My brother worked with Mr. Coppola in the movie Tetro, he was a young boy then. It was an honour then, and it is an honour again to see the next Coppola's film Megalopolis and the beautiful images in it. Thank you

My God, I've never cried watching a trailer and today was the first time, this could reinvigorate my passion for cinema, thank you very much Francis!

Cannot wait for this, looks absolutely stunning! So good to see Coppola posting regular updates and trailers here. We are spoiled to be getting new pictures from legends like Scorsese and Coppola lately, it will be a privilege to see this in a theater

I swear if they slapped an A24 logo on this and let them do the trailers and marketing, people would love this

in my opinion, he hasn't had a hit since The Rainmaker in 1997. I have also never had the opportunity to see a Coppola film in theaters. I am looking forward to this. It looks different, and that's a good thing. Amazing that he funded it himself!

This looks absolutely epic and insane, and I am HERE for it!

Greatest director of all time making at the very least the greatest trailer of all time. Finally some real filmmaking. I cannot wait! Some touches of 1927 “Metropolis” and 1999 “Titus” in the Megalopolis trailer.

I got no idea about what the hell this is or even what the plot is, but this trailer sold me on seeing it in theaters

Thank you for everything Mr. Coppola. Looking forward to this gift. 🙏

It is wonderful to see how some of the social & literary sources on how societies are built and the power of collective imagination shine through, even in this teaser. I await seeing this film with bated breath. Cinema is back.

This will be the movie of the year, and I can already see it sweeping the Oscars! Mark my words!!

The polarizing reception out of Cannes only makes me more excited for this film

The fact that they pay for Marvel crap or agenda-driven films while refusing to take a risk with art like this means I will run watch it on the very day it reaches theaters
