Lionsgate has pulled the promotional trailer for its upcoming film ‘Megalopolis‘ after facing criticism for including fake quotes from prominent film critics.
The Controversy Unfolds
The trailer, which was released last week, featured quotes from well-known critics praising the film. However, it was soon discovered that these quotes were entirely fabricated.
Backlash and Apology
The backlash was immediate, with many in the film industry and beyond expressing outrage at the deception. Lionsgate quickly issued an apology and removed the trailer from its official channels.
A Lesson Learned
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of authenticity in marketing and the potential consequences of dishonesty. It also highlights the power of social media in holding companies accountable for their actions.
What’s Next for Megalopolis?
Despite the controversy, ‘Megalopolis‘ is still set for release later this year. It remains to be seen how this incident will affect the film’s reception and overall success.
