“No one I’m working with realizes how weird of a movie this really is…” Utopia has debuted the full official trailer for a crazy wacky making of documentary film titled Megadoc, from director Mike Figgis. This mega documentary is trying to be the Hearts of Darkness (which was a look at Coppola’s troubled Apocalypse Now set) for Megalopolis, which opened in theaters last year. The only problem is that Megalopolis not only flopped massive time, but it’s just not a good movie by any measure, and Coppola doesn’t get this. Oh well. Yes he spent tons of money on it (and comments on that in here), and he’s trying to be bold and provocative again, but it’s a complete mess. This Megadoc look at the chaos of filmmaking features appearances by Francis Ford Coppola (but of course!), Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Nathalie Emmanuel, Dustin Hoffman, Giancarlo Esposito, Chloe Fineman, Shia LaBeouf, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Voight, Talia Shire, Robert De Niro, and more. It just premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival & Telluride Film Festival last week, and will be out to watch in confined theaters later this month. Not long of a wait at all! Who wants to watch this?

Here’s the main official trailer for Mike Figgis’ making of doc film Megadoc, direct from YouTube:

You can rewatch the teaser trailer for Mike Figgis’ Megadoc film right here for the first look again.

This September: A raw, fly-on-the-wall documentary about Francis Ford Coppola’s decades-long journey in creating his self-financed passion project, Megalopolis. The bold and unrelenting epic returns in Mike Figgis’ compelling portrait of Coppola’s imaginative process – weaving together archival material, unfiltered cast interviews, and a close-up view of how the legendary filmmaker drew from Roman history, political allegory, and his own singular vision to shape the world of Megalopolis. This isn’t a record of a production on the brink, it’s a personal memoir unfolding in real time. Megadoc is directed by British indie filmmaker Mike Figgis, director of many films including Stormy Monday, Internal Affairs, Mr. Jones, The Browning Version, Leaving Las Vegas, One Night Stand, Miss Julie, Timecode, Hotel, Cold Creek Manor, Love Live Long, Suspension of Disbelief, and Somebody Up There Likes Me previously. Produced by Tara Li-An and James Mockoski. This is premiering at the 2025 Venice Film Festival coming up this fall. Utopia will debut Figgis’ Megadoc in select US theaters starting on September 19th, 2025 for everyone to watch. Who’s in?
