"Megalopolis" Trailer Pulled After Revelation That Its "Critic Quotes" Were AI-Generated Fakes

Quick Summary:

Critical Error A trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's upcoming sci-fi epic "Megalopolis" was pulled by distributors after it was called out for featuring made-up quotes from famous film critics, Variety reports.

Kael, for example, is quoted in the trailer as admonishing "The Godfather" for being "diminished by its artsiness".

But Coppola has been here before: "Apocalypse Now" was once anticipated to be his next great opus, which also had a potentially ruinous budget with his own money on the line, and a controversial production to top things off.
