Lionsgate pulled its trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s self-financed magnum opus Megalopolis after it was revealed to feature fabricated quotes from film critics.
The trailer was released on Wednesday and showed quotes from some of the most renowned critics in the industry offering harsh critiques of Coppola’s past films.
“Then again, the trivial scandal of all this is that the whole Megalopolis trailer is built on a false narrative.”
The trailer similarly claimed that Roger Ebert had described Bram Stoker’s Dracula as “a triumph of style over substance”.
