By Iain Blair

The last time I saw Francis Ford Coppola, he was telling me how “you save money on a production when you’re able to just put up the dough yourself, which is why my next film will be another small personal one.” He also told me that the script for that film, Tetro, had been stolen when a thief broke into his Buenos Aires home last year and stole his laptop. But there was a happy ending. “Luckily I had other copies so we’re going ahead,” he said. And now shooting has started in BA and the small $15 million production, which stars Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, is being done thru’ Coppola’s Zoetrope Argentina operation. He hopes for a release next year.
