Coppola doubles up
With 'Youth Without Youth' still in post-production, Francis Ford Coppola is about to start work on 'Tetro'.
Feb 14 2007
Following a near ten-year lay-off from directing, Francis Ford Coppola is about to start work on a second project in the space of a year.
No sooner has the busy Oscar-winning bee completed the self-financed 'Youth Without Youth' than he's announcing the imminent shoot of another self-financed project, 'Tetro'.
Coppola plans to write and direct the film, which will revolve around the fierce rivalries between several generations of an artistic immigrant family in Argentina. Script is apparently inspired by the work of Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neill.
Matt Dillon will star (having previously worked with Coppola on the teen classics 'The Outsiders' and 'Rumble Fish'), with 'Tetro' set to shoot in Buenos Aires this summer.
