Acclaimed filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola's latest masterpiece, "Megalopolis," starring Adam Driver, has finally found a home with Lionsgate Studios in the U.S. and Canada after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. With an impressive $120 million budget, self-financed by Coppola, the film will see a theatrical and IMAX release on September 27, 2024. Set in a fictional Modern America, "Megalopolis" follows a visionary artist, played by Driver, who faces opposition from the city's mayor, portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito, in his quest to create a utopia. An ensemble cast including Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, and more brings this epic tale to life.

Despite mixed critical reactions, Coppola's ambitious vision in "Megalopolis" promises to be a cinematic experience like no other.
