Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Megalopolis’ to screen at the Toronto Film Festival
Francis Ford Coppola‘s anticipated, mostly self-funded Megalopolis will screen as part of the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker’s star-packed movie, which boasts a cast featuring Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Dustin Hoffman and more, will play the evening of Monday, Sept. 9, at the Festival’s Roy Thomson Hall. It will also screen the following evening at Scotiabank Theatre Toronto.
Megalopolis made its festival premiere on May 16 at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival.
Lionsgate will release the film in theaters on Sept. 27.
On his Instagram, Pedro Pascal posted a photo of the core four members of Marvel Studios’ upcoming TheFantastic Four. “Our first mission together,” he captioned the photo.
Pascal, who plays the stretchy genius Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, is having his head cradled by Vanessa Kirby, who plays his onscreen love interest, Sue Storm, otherwise known as the Invisible Woman.
The Bear‘s Ebon Moss-Bachrach has his arms stretched around both her and Stranger Things veteran Joseph Quinn; Moss-Bachrach plays Ben Grimm/the Thing and Quinn plays Sue’s brother, the daredevil Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch.
The cast also includes Black Bird actor Paul Walter Hauser, The First Omen‘s Ralph Ineson, Poker Face‘s Natasha Lyonne and Ozark vet Julia Garner.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige previously confirmed to The Official Marvel Podcast that the film is a period piece set in the ’60s, though he hinted it may not necessarily be our 1960s.
Of a promotional image of Johnny flying in full “flame on” mode, Feige noted, “There were a lot of smart people who noticed that that cityscape didn’t look exactly like the New York that we know or the New York that existed in the ’60s in our world. Those are smart observations.”
The Fantastic Four is scheduled to release on July 25, 2025.
Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.
Hacks earned top honors at Sunday’s Emmy Awards, nabbing the trophy for Outstanding Comedy Series.
This was the first time the comedy starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder took home the top comedy award. It was previously nominated in 2021 and 2022.
The show beat out previous Outstanding Comedy winner The Bear, coming as a bit of a surprise, although the FX show has been the subject of much debate as to whether it is indeed a comedy.
In total, Hacks took home three awards Sunday night. In addition to Outstanding Comedy Series, Smart won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and the show won Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
Other nominees in the Outstanding Comedy Series category included Abbott Elementary, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Only Murders in the Building, Palm Royale, Reservation Dogs and What We Do in the Shadows.
Jimmy Fallon‘s daughters, Winnie, 11, and Frances, 10, recently marked a new milestone, attending their first sleep away summer camp, and the Tonight Show host says it was “traumatic” for him and his wife.
“I don’t know why they asked us to go,” Jimmy tells E! News. “I go, ‘Why would you want to go somewhere else? You have such a great life here with dad and mom.’ They’re like, ‘We’re ready to go.’ And they had the best time.”
However, Fallon, 49, says he and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, didn’t handle the situation quite so well.
“It was so sad for me and my wife,” he shared. “You couldn’t talk to them. There was a call time between 10:30 and 10:45. It was like they were in prison.”
“It’s like, ‘I’m coming to get you out honey. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m coming to get you,’” joked Fallon. “It was a very traumatic summer for us. They’re growing up and it’s all kind of happening.”
