The makers of Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis on Tuesday dropped a fresh poster featuring Adam Driver ahead of the official trailer release.
“Utopia awaits. MEGALOPOLIS – trailer tomorrow,” wrote the film's official handle on X.
The poster features Adam Driver holding a hammer, dressed in dark clothing with his sleeves rolled up. He stands against a glowing, golden background with geometric patterns. The poster's tagline reads, “If you can't see a better future, build one.”
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Megalopolis centers around an ambitious architect's quest to rebuild a futuristic version of New York City following a disaster. Set in a world where utopian ideals clash with political corruption, the film explores themes of power, ambition, and resilience. As the architect played by Adam Driver faces opposition from powerful forces, he must navigate complex relationships and ethical dilemmas to create a new society that embodies his visionary ideals.
Megalopolis generated significant buzz when it was showcased at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. The film's appearance at the festival was a momentous event, with many viewing it as a potential masterpiece that could redefine epic storytelling in modern cinema.
The film’s ensemble cast also includes Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, Kathryn Hunter, Grace VanderWaal, Chloe Fineman, James Remar, D.B. Sweeney and Dustin Hoffman.
