Robert De Niro Piles On Donald Trump At ‘Megalopolis’ NY Premiere, With Backup From Spike Lee: “He Cannot Hold Anything Together”


Robert De Niro, appearing with Spike Lee at a Q&A before Monday's New York premiere of Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis' tore into Donald Trump.

The Q&A was beamed out to 65 North American locations via the Imax Live network and followed a red carpet featuring cast members including Aubrey Plaza, Dustin Hoffman and Giancarlo Esposito. Coppola then personally helped secure Imax bookings for the film, whose starry cast includes Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito, Jon Voight and Shia LaBeouf. Wise acknowledged the film is “something of a mess; unruly, exaggerated and drawn to pretension” but is nevertheless “a pretty stunning achievement, the work of a master artist.” Others pronounced it a solipsistic head-scratcher or even an outright disaster, with The Guardian dismissing it as “megabloated and megaboring.”
