Just days after the “Megalopolis” trailer was taken down for misusing and outright fabricating purported critics’ comments, it was reported that the faux quotes were generated using artificial intelligence (AI). The official trailer for the Francis Ford Coppola film was released on Wednesday morning. Later that day, Lionsgate pulled it and issued a formal apology.  “Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for ‘Megalopolis,’” a Lionsgate spokesperson said in a statement. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Sources confirmed to Deadline that “Megalopolis” cut ties with marketing consultant Eddie Egan after it was reported that AI was responsible for the misattributed and fabricated quotes. The Deadline source also addressed claims that the whole scandal was a secret publicity stunt to get the “Megalopolis” title in more headlines, which that person denied. The insider said the quotes were added in error and not properly checked before being made public. Lionsgate has not issued a public statement on severing ties with Egan.  Per his LinkedIn profile, Egan spent most of his Hollywood career serving in executive roles at Universal Pictures, where he was named President of Marketing in 2007. He headed major Hollywood marketing campaigns, including Eminem’s “8 Mile” (2002), Disney’s “Into the Woods” (2014), Steven Spielberg’s Academy Award-nominated “Bridge of Spies” (2015), and the hit comedy “Bad Moms” (2016). The now-deleted “Megalopolis” trailer highlighted negative quotes about Coppola’s films that were either made up or falsely attributed as an attempt to show the divisiveness of his work. This seemed to be an effort to counteract the mixed reactions “Megalopolis” received at the Cannes Film Festival, where it debuted earlier this year. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI One such faux quote was attributed to Variety reviewer Owen Gleiberman, who was said to have described “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” as a “beautiful mess” in 1992 when it was released. Critic Roger Ebert was said to have described “Dracula” as being “a triumph of style over substance,” which actually came from a review he wrote about “Batman” (1989). Reviewer Pauline Kael was quoted as saying “The Godfather” was “diminished by its artsiness,” but that line never appeared in her original review.

Vice President Kamala Harris broke her silence on the deaths of 13 U.S. service members in Kabul on the third anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. She released a statement as her opponent in the 2024 presidential race, former President Donald Trump, honored the 13 in a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. “Three years ago today, outside of Kabul Airport, an ISIS terrorist killed 13 American service members and more than 100 innocent Afghans, and wounded many more,” Harris said in a statement posted to the White House website. She listed the fallen. Thirteen American heroes were taken from us on that day: Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover; Marine Corps Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo; Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee; Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez; Marine Corps Cpl. Daegan W. Page; Marine Corps Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez; Marine Corps Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza; Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz; Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum; Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola; Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui; Navy Petty Officer Third Class Maxton W. Soviak; Army Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss. “Today and everyday, I mourn and honor them. My prayers are with their families and loved ones,” she added. Harris defended President Joe Biden, saying he “made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war.” She pledged, “I will never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to counter terrorist threats and protect the American people and the homeland.” Meanwhile, Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery and laid a wreath to commemorate the 13 who fell in Afghanistan. “This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country,” he posted on Truth Social. “Gross Incompetence—13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND.” “You don’t take our soldiers out first, you take them out LAST, when all else is successfully done,” Trump added. “Russia then invaded Ukraine, Israel was attacked, and the USA became, and is, a laughingstock all over the World.” When the administration abandoned Afghanistan, it left U.S. military equipment at Bagram Air Force Base, allowing the Taliban to seize it when the terrorist group took over the country. The Afghanistan withdrawal marked the beginning of a slide in Biden’s job-approval ratings.

The Biden-Harris administration's Department of Homeland Security recently announced the "Keeping Families Together" program, a mass amnesty process for at least 550,000 illegal aliens already residing in the United States.The federal government claims that the new process demonstrates the Biden-Harris administration's "commitment to promoting family unity in the immigration system."'Unlawfully creating a program that effectively provides a new pathway to citizenship.'The program would allow some illegal aliens, including spouses and stepchildren of American citizens, to "request parole in place under existing statutory authority."If granted parole in place, eligible illegal aliens will be allowed to remain in the U.S. while they request an adjustment of status.According to a press release from the U.S. Customs and Immigration Services, the administration estimates that 500,000 illegal alien spouses and 50,000 illegal alien stepchildren of American citizens are eligible for the process. Of the roughly half a million spouses of American citizens, on average, most have resided unlawfully in the U.S. 23 years, the department reported. To be eligible for the program, spouses must have lived in the country illegally since June 2014 and have been married to a citizen since June 2024. Eligible stepchildren of American citizens must be under 21 years old and be unmarried. They must have been residing unlawfully in the U.S. since June 2024 and have an illegal alien parent who is married to a citizen.Applicants cannot have a "disqualifying criminal history," which includes such offenses as murder, rape, crimes involving firearms or controlled substances, aggravated assault, child pornography or abuse, and domestic violence. Those convicted of other crimes can "overcome the presumption of ineligibility" by "demonstrating positive factors that can be considered in overcoming this presumption and showing that you warrant a favorable exercise of discretion."Even illegal aliens currently facing removal proceedings may be eligible for the Biden-Harris administration's program."If you have a final unexecuted removal order, non-disqualifying criminal history, or other derogatory information in your case, you may provide additional documentation that you believe demonstrates your parole is warranted based on a significant public benefit or urgent humanitarian reasons, and that you merit a favorable exercise of discretion," USCIS said.Critics have called the administration's executive order a mass amnesty program.On Friday, a group of 16 Republican-led states filed a lawsuit in partnership with America First Legal against the federal government to stop the program. States attempting to block the effort include Texas, Idaho, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming.The lawsuit argues that the administration's claims that the process would impact roughly 550,000 illegal aliens is "likely a significant underestimate," stating that the number could be approximately 1.3 million.The states claim the program circumvented Congress and would "irreparably harm" their communities.The complaint accuses the administration of "unlawfully creating a program that effectively provides a new pathway to citizenship for more than a million illegal aliens," according to AFL."The coalition also seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to stop the Biden-Harris Administration from proceeding with its plans to provide immediate executive amnesty," it added.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said, "Biden's new parole workaround unilaterally grants the opportunity for citizenship to unvetted aliens whose first act on American soil was to break our laws. This violates the Constitution and actively worsens the illegal immigration disaster that is hurting Texas and our country."Like Blaze News?
