new Coppola movie
May 12th, 2007 by Debra Murphy
Now, this looks interesting. Francis Ford Coppola, always a fascinating and often a fabulous filmmaker (and one who can’t resist Catholic imagery, no matter what he’s doing) is going to release his first movie in a decade. Here’s the snippet from the New York Times Arts Briefly:
Coppola’s Comeback
Francis Ford Coppola’s “Youth Without Youth,” the first film he has directed since 1997, will have its world premiere at the RomeFilmFest in October, Variety reported. The film, produced, adapted and directed by Mr. Coppola is based on a 1976 novel by the Romanian-born writer and scholar Mircea Eliade. It stars Tim Roth as a 70-year-old Romanian who attracts the interest of the Nazis after he is struck by lightning and apparently given immortality. The film was shot in Romania and will be released in the United States in December.
