New York City hosted the glamorous premiere of Francis Ford Coppola’s highly anticipated epic, Megalopolis, with The Population Appeard in attendance to capture the energy of this star-studded event. The premiere was held at AMC Lincoln Square and offered a rare glimpse into Coppola's visionary project, which has been nearly two decades in the making. This NYC screening celebrated Megalopolis ahead of its wide theatrical release, scheduled for September 27, marking a special moment in cinematic history as Coppola returns to ambitious storytelling.

The premiere brought out Hollywood heavyweights and an impressive ensemble cast, including Adam Driver, Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza, Dustin Hoffman, Giancarlo Esposito, Jon Voight, Shia LaBeouf, and Grace VanderWaal. Director Coppola, alongside longtime friend Robert De Niro, delighted fans with a brief Q&A session. De Niro, a guest rather than cast member, was accompanied by his partner Tiffany Chen, drawing attention as they walked the red carpet together. The two, who share a daughter, Gia, turned the evening into a family affair, with De Niro lending his support to Coppola, a colleague since their collaboration on The Godfather Part II.

The story delves into a complex, futuristic New York that combines modern technology with classical themes, exploring themes of ambition, power, and societal reinvention.
