Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited Megalopolis has finally been released, revealing more key details about the film's ambiguous plot. Coppola, the legendary director of Apocalypse Now , The Godfather , and The Godfather: Part II , has been celebrated for decades as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
Megalopolis will center around a decaying city called New Rome, which shares many similarities to New York City. New Rome is in part destroyed by a terrible accident, which at one point in the screenplay was confirmed to be a satellite falling out of the sky. Based on the trailer, the cataclysmic event that destroys New Rome appears to be some type of meteor shower or artillery strike that makes a direct impact on the city.
Megalopolis' Story Pits An Architect Against A Mayor The story is partially inspired by the Catilinarian conspiracy of Ancient Rome Cesar has a vision of building New Rome into some kind of utopia, which he likely demonstrates through his abilities as an architect, while Cicero is supremely invested in keeping New Rome as it is.
