"Megalopolis": le film de Francis Ford Coppola se dévoile dans un premier trailer vertigineux

Le long-métrage pharaonique que Francis Ford Coppola présentera en compétition au Festival de Cannes en mai prochain se précise à travers une première bande-annonce.

Près d’une semaine avant sa présentation en compétition au prochain Festival de Cannes, Megalopolis, projet pharaonique que Francis Ford Coppola nourrit depuis quarante ans, se dévoile à travers une première bande-annonce mise en ligne ce samedi 4 mai.

Dans celle-ci, on aperçoit Adam Driver perché au sommet d’un bâtiment en métal et en verre. Alors qu’il s’apprête à sauter dans le vide, il panique et demande soudainement au temps de s’arrêter pour éviter sa chute.

Tout s’immobilise alors au cœur de la mégalopole que l’on voit au loin. Une fois redressé et revenu sur le toit du bâtiment, Adam Driver claque des doigts et le temps reprend ainsi son cours.

Une “fable épique romaine”

D’après le Hollywood Reporter, Megalopolis racontera la tentative de reconstruction d’une ville américaine en déclin, et la rivalité de deux hommes qui souhaitent mener cette restauration: l’architecte Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver) et le maire de la ville Frank Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito).

Nathalie Emmanuel incarnera la fille de ce dernier, déchirée entre sa loyauté envers son père et son amour pour Cesar Catilina.

Le média américain évoque une “fable épique romaine” située dans “l’Amérique moderne”. Vanity Fair décrit “un film sur les affrontements personnel, politique, et romantique qui naissent dans une bataille pour la construction d’une utopie américaine”.

120 millions de dollars

Imaginé par le réalisateur du Parrain et d’Apocalypse Now en 1983, ce projet était en gestation depuis en raison des difficultés rencontrées par Francis Ford Coppola pour trouver des financements.

À tel point que le cinéaste de 85 ans a fini par investir 120 millions de dollars de sa poche pour lancer la production de Megalopolis, qui s’est achevée le 28 mars dernier, selon Variety.

Côté casting, Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito et Nathalie Emmanuel donneront la réplique à Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Shia LaBeouf, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, Chloe Fineman, Kathryn Hunter, Dustin Hoffman, D.B. Sweeney, Baily Ives, Grace VanderWaal ou encore James Remar.

Ce nouveau film de Francis Ford Coppola est en compétition pour la Palme d’or au prochain festival de Cannes. S’il l’emporte, il s’agirait de la troisième Palme pour le réalisateur de 85 ans après celle pour Conversation secrète en 1974 et celle pour Apocalypse Now en 1979.
