Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis will be released in France on September 25. This French release was due to the fact that the film had to find an American distributor, and that has now been done. It will be released on September 27, 2024 in the United States, distributed by Lionsgate, as reported by Variety.
What is “Megalopolis” about?
In Megalopolis, the city of New Rome must be completely transformed, creating a major conflict between Caesar Catiline, a genius artist with the power to stop time, and conservative mayor Franklin Cicero.
The former dreams of an ideal utopian future, while the latter remains very attached to a regressive status quo that upholds greed, privilege and private militias. The mayor’s daughter and jet-setting Julia Cicero, in love with Caesar Catiline, is torn between two men and must discover what is best for the future of humanity.
