Francis Ford Coppola already prepping his next movie? To film this year?!?!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Wow... this is cool news. It was huge that Francis Ford Coppola finally went back behind the camera last year to film YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH, an independently financed (thanks to Mr. Coppola's vineyards) flick about an older man who gets struck by lightning and suddenly returns to his younger days, in WW2. That one stars Tim Roth.

He's editing that and says it'll be released second half of 2007, although it hasn't screened for any distributors yet. Sounds great... but there's more!

He just announced today that he's going into production on a flick called TETRO. Set in Buenos Aires, the film will follow the trials of an immigrant family (presumably Italian). Matt Dillon, strangely enough, is topping the bill.

Coppola said he's self-financing this film just like he did YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH, which he said was the dream back in his early days... that he wrote and produced (and creatively controlled) his own stuff.

However it's happening, I'm just glad to get Coppola films in the works again!
