Lionsgate Pulls 'Megalopolis' Trailer Offline Due to Made-Up Critic Quotes and Issues Apology: 'We Screwed Up'

Lionsgate is recalling its latest trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's epic "Megalopolis," which featured a slew of fabricated quotes from famous film critics.

"Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for 'Megalopolis,'" a Lionsgate spokesperson said in a statement provided 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."

The trailer, released on Wednesday morning, aimed to position Coppola's latest film as a work of art that would withstand the test of time, much like his previous masterpieces "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now."
