FILM: MEGALOPOLIS
Adam Driver stars in Francis Coppola's decades-in-the-making epic, self-financed by the master of cinema behind The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now to the tune of $120M and boasting a cast that includes Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito, Shia LaBeouf, Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight. Opinions have been extreme to say the least, but this one positively demands to be seen on the biggest screen imaginable - you won't see anything like it anytime soon (Cinemas nationwide)
