Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' will hit US theaters in September

After months of conjecture about the fate of Francis Ford Coppola’s self-financed epic, “Megalopolis” has finally found a home.

Lionsgate will distribute “Megalopolis” in U.S. and Canadian theaters, the studio announced Monday, ending one of the biggest acquisition dramas of the year. “One rule of business I’ve always followed and prioritized (to my benefit) is to continue working with companies and teams who over time have proven to be good friends as well as great collaborators,” Coppola said in a statement. In the film, Adam Driver stars as Cesar, an artist-inventor with dreams of a utopian metropolis at odds with the city’s mayor (Giancarlo Esposito).
