On Wednesday, Lionsgate recalled the trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis after it emerged that critics' quotes attributed to renowned reviewers were fabricated, leading to significant backlash.
The spokesperson for Lionsgate acknowledged the error, stating, 'We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process.'
Promotional quotes in the trailer falsely attributed critical statements to Pauline Kael and Roger Ebert regarding their reviews of other Coppola classics, ultimately misrepresenting their sentiments.
Megalopolis is a high-budget film with a troubled production history, facing scrutiny not only from critics but also for alleged misconduct on set involving director Coppola.
