UPDATE: Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis trailer withdrawn over fake quotes

Lionsgate has withdrawn its trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s self-funded epic Megalopolis after it was criticised for including false and misleading quotes, saying: “We screwed up.”

The video, released on Wednesday, starts by going back in time to show negative quotes from established critics for acclaimed films from Coppola’s past such as The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. “Genius is often misunderstood,” says the accompanying narration.

Vulture’s Bilge Ebiri pointed out that many of the quotes were manufactured and could not be found in the original reviews.

…

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for ‘Megalopolis’” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement to Variety. “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.”
