Lionsgate is gearing up to release the latest project from Francis Ford Coppola, “Megalopolis,” sharing a trailer for the film that was written, directed and produced by Coppola himself.

Megalopolis, starring Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito and Nathalie Emmanuel, follows the collapse of a future American empire while referencing the fall of Rome. The film marks the culmination of a decades-long project from the Coppola, who started working on the “Megalopolis” screenplay in the 1980s and invested $120 million of his own money into the making of it.

An official synopsis reads: “Megalopolis is a Roman Epic set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catalina (Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.”

Megalopolis had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May; the cast also includes Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter and Dustin Hoffman.

Megalopolis is set to debut in theaters on Sept. 27; watch the trailer for the film – HERE.
