A Hollywood director who is over 80 years old Francis Ford Coppola's "final" film "Metropolis" after 40 years has officially released the first trailer of the film today. This blockbuster, which Coppola invested more than US$100 million from his own pocket, will finally be released in North American theaters on September 27 after going through various difficulties.

Talking about the idea of ​​​​this new film, it can be traced back to the 1980s. Coppola had already begun to write the script of the film at that time. Then Coppola encountered a financial crisis, and the filming plan of the film was shelved. This was put on hold for more than 40 years until 2019, when Coppola officially announced on his 80th birthday that he would start filming this "dream film."

However, the subsequent filming plan of the film was repeatedly postponed due to the epidemic, and it was not officially launched until 2022. However, after the filming of the film was completed, it encountered distribution difficulties. Coppola even sold his winery in order to film the film. In the end, he had to find a distributor to take over the promotion and distribution of the film.

In April this year, Coppola organized a screening. The screening also attracted major Hollywood studios, independent film companies and streaming media giants. However, after the screening, no company was willing to pay for it. To release the film, major manufacturers commented on the film that it was a good film, but it was too ahead of its time. After

was ignored in Hollywood, Coppola took this new film to Cannes in May to promote it and held its premiere at the film festival. Although the film caused quite a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival, it still No Hollywood studio wanted to release the film.

In June, when Coppola’s epic new film was about to miss the big screen, Lionsgate finally extended an olive branch and acquired the film’s North American distribution rights, but the controversy surrounding the film still remains. Many viewers and old media people who have watched the film have polarized opinions on the film. Therefore, whether this Coppola's "dream film" can ultimately be recognized by the audience remains a question mark.

The film is inspired by the ancient Roman historical work "The Catiline Conspiracy". It tells the story of a terrible disaster that destroyed the "Big Apple City" New York in the future world. An ambitious architect felt that he had to build an ideal city. The opportunity for New York City has arrived, but the process of rebuilding New York City is not easy. A grand story about political ambition, genius and contradictory love is about to unfold.

The film's cast includes Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Emmanuel, Forest Whitaker, Laurence Fish Bourne, Jon Voight and others star.
