However, it should be noted that while the trailer opens with comments about Coppola’s past films from renowned critics, none of the quotes actually appear in the cited reviews mentioned, according to Variety.
Owen Gleiberman, cited in the trailer for calling Bram Stoker’s Dracula “A beautiful mess,” responded. “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.”
