Following the film's premiere at Cannes, Lionsgate announced it will distribute Coppola's ambitious fable starring Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel and Aubrey Plaza with a September release date.
Lionsgate on Monday said it has picked up the rights to Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” for the U.S. and Canada, ending months of speculation over which studio might distribute the famed director's epic passion project. The film will hit domestic theaters, including Imax screens, on Sept. 27.
When the film premiered last month at the Cannes film festival, The Times’ Josh Rothkopf wrote that if “Megalopolis” becomes the last effort from the 85-year-old 'Godfather' filmmaker, then “he’s going out not with something tame and manicured but with an overstuffed, vigorous, seething story about the roots of fascism that only an uncharitable viewer would call a catastrophe.' 'It may be the most radical film he’s ever done,” Rothkopf wrote.
