As the anticipation builds for the premiere of Francis Ford Coppola’s latest cinematic masterpiece at the Cannes Film Festival, a fresh teaser for ‘Megalopolis’ has hit the scene.
Starring the enigmatic Adam Driver in the lead role, this sneak peek offers a deeper dive into the film’s intriguing plot. Set in a futuristic America, ‘Megalopolis’ unfolds a tale of conflict and transformation within the City of New Rome.

In this teaser, we witness Driver’s character leading a revolution for change, against a backdrop of crumbling society. With each frame, the tension mounts, promising an epic cinematic experience.
Joining Driver on this epic journey is a stellar ensemble cast, including Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, and Laurence Fishburne, among others.
