Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola‘s self-financed $120 million epic “Megalopolis” suffers yet another blow. After a troubled production, it opened at Cannes to reviews that regarded it as indulgent and muddled. Leaning into the bad press, Lionsgate released a second trailer for the film, which contains negative reviews of Coppola’s other films. The problem is, that these reviews range from misattributed to flat-out fictitious. And, as it turns out, they were AI-generated. “Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for ‘Megalopolis,’” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola…

King even took to social media to praise the film while condemning…

The late music legend Elvis Presley’s sprawling Tennessee estate, Graceland, was involved in a bizarre multi-million dollar foreclosure scheme. In May, a Memphis newspaper published a notice saying that an unknown investment firm planned to auction off the landmark later that month. This was an understandable shock to both the singer’s fans and family. On August 16th, federal prosecutors stated they uncovered a scheme to extort millions of dollars from the Presley family by fraudulently selling the 14-acre estate. They claim that Lisa Findley, posing as several people affiliated with Naussany Investments, told Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, Riley Keough, that…

Almost universally mocked director Uwe Boll is doing some serious projection on X (formally Twitter). Helmer of such classics as “House of the Dead” and “BloodRayne” Boll knows a thing or two about box office flops. On August 11th, he shared an image about Eli Roth’s “Borderlands” adaptation’s abysmal opening weekend. “Ha ha. My movies were rated R and made more money than this,” Boll’s caption reads. “Now you wish I directed.” Stop Skeletons From Fighting, which bills itself as the dumbest and weirdest video game show on YouTube, refuted his claim. The user pointed out that: Boll vs Roth…
