Francis Ford Coppola calls 'Megalopolis' his 'best work': See new trailer

Francis Ford Coppola shared an epic teaser trailer to his highly anticipated upcoming film "Megalopolis" on Tuesday, ahead of its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival on May 16.

The new look at the upcoming film shows that a calamity has befallen a New York-like city called New Rome. Meteor-like streaks careen into the metropolis from space.A voiceover in the trailer begins, "When does an empire die? Does it collapse in one terrible moment? No, no. But there comes a time when people no longer believe in it."

"Don't let the now destroy the forever," says Adam Driver's character, an idealistic artist named Cesar Catilina. "Is this society, is this way we're living, the only one that's available to us? The description says "Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America," and if Cesar and Cicero's names don't drive that point home, there's a chariot race staged for elites at Madison Square Garden, complete with attendees in full Roman attire."We are taking our city back!" Shia LaBeouf's Clodio, in full Julius Caesar armor, screams at one point.
