Coppola to make new movie in Romania September 25, 2005 After an eight-year absence, Francis Ford Coppola is returning to the director's chair. He will begin filming "Youth Without Youth" in Romania on Oct. 3. Starring Tim Roth, the film is adapted from a novella by Romanian philosopher-author Mircea Eliade. Will star Tim Roth, Alexandra Maria Lara, Bruno Ganz and Marcel Iures. Coppola, who directed such classics as "Apocalypse Now" and the "Godfather" series, wrote the screenplay and will begin shooting in October in Bucharest. The story centres on a professor whose life changes after a cataclysmic incident during the dark years before the Second World War. Becoming a fugitive, he is pursued through far-flung locations including Romania, Switzerland, Malta and India. |
