Megalopoliswas perhaps one of the strangest blockbusters of 2024 , both because it was astrange filmand also owing to the many , many circumstances andheadlinessurrounding its release . Now , it ’s coming to graphical novel , because why not ?
The 160 - page al-Qur’an from Chris Ryall — who ’s previously adaptedShaun of the Dead , Dirk Gently , and other motion-picture show for the medium — and Jacob Phillips will release this fall and , according to Coppola in the press release , is more of a “ sibling ” to the film rather than a full adaption . “ I [ tell ] Chris that although it was inspired by my photographic film , it did n’t inevitably have to be limited by it . I trust the vivid novel would take its own trajectory , with its own artists and writer . [ … ] It confirms my impression that artistic production can never be tighten up , but rather always a parallel expression , and part of the bounty we can make available to our patrons , audiences and readers . ”
If you have n’t seenMegalopolisyet , the premise is that Adam Driver ’s Caesar Catalina hopes to build a utopian city with his building cloth Megalon . Cicero ( Giancarlo Esposito ) , the city manager of New Rome , and other elites in the city conspire to stop him from building his gross city , and meanwhile Caesar falls for Cicero ’s girl Julia ( Nathalie Emmanuel ) when they take they can kibosh time together . Reactions were rive between finding it flawed but endearing and too blemished to get fully invested , but audiences bounce off it moderately quickly .
