On the late Eleanor Coppola‘s birthday, director Francis Ford Coppola has shared a first look at his upcoming film, Megalopolis, which will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this May. Written and directed by Coppola, the film will star Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Giancarlo Esposito, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jason Schwartzman, Grace VanderWaal, Kathryn Hunter, Talia Shire, Dustin Hoffman, D.B. Sweeney, James Remar, and Chloe Fineman.
Here is the official plot synopsis:
“An accident destroys a New York City-like metropolis already in decay. Cesar, an idealist, aims to rebuild the city as a sustainable utopia, while the venal mayor, Frank Cicero, has other plans. Coming between the opposing men and their visions is Frank’s socialite daughter, Julia. Tired of the attention and power she was born with, Julia searches for her life’s meaning.”
Coppola also made a statement on his Instagram page on the footage and the memory of his late wife, saying “Megalopolis has always been a film dedicated to my dear wife Eleanor. I really had hoped to celebrate her birthday together this May 4th. But sadly that was not to be, so let me share with everyone a gift on her behalf.”
Watch the teaser below. A release date may arrive after its Cannes premiere on May 17:
