“The story would happen in a rather elegant New York City, depicted as the center of the power of the world, and Cicero would be the mayor throughout a time of terrific monetary turmoil, such as the monetary crisis under previous Mayor Dinkins,” the director of The Godfather and Armageddon Now composed to discuss the 40-year development of his Megalopolis script.

We do not see any of that in the clip, which reveals a black-clad Driver stepping off the edge of a domed high-rise building and after that relatively stopping time. Those who participated in an April screening in Los Angeles may have more insight into how the teaser may play into the last movie, in which Driver’s character– a designer intent on restoring a messed up city– takes on a corrupt mayor (Esposito) who chooses the status quo.
