The studio shared an announcement with Variety in regards to the resolution to take away the trailer from the web.

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for Megalopolis,” they stated. “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. We screwed up. We are sorry.”

The trailer opened by revisiting some unfavourable opinions of Francis‘ films, with the be aware: “True genius is often misunderstood.”

Owen Gleiberman, who works for Variety, commented on being incorrectly quoted within the trailer.

“Even if you’re one of those people who don’t like critics, we hardly deserve to have words put in our mouths. Then again, the trivial scandal of all this is that the whole Megalopolis trailer is built on a false narrative,” he stated. “Critics loved The Godfather. And though Apocalypse Now was divisive, it received a lot of crucial critical support. As far as me calling Bram Stoker’s Dracula ‘a beautiful mess,’ I only wish I’d said that! Regarding that film, it now sounds kind.”

The movie will premiere on September 27 and likewise options the likes of Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter and Dustin Hoffman.
