Francis Ford Coppola Directing Youth
Francis Ford Coppola will finance and direct Youth Without Youth starring Tim Roth.
In the movie, a professor’s life changes after a cataclysmic incident during the dark years before WWII. Becoming a fugitive, he is pursued through far-flung locations including Romania, Switzerland, Malta and India. Alexandra Maria Lara, Bruno Ganz and Marcel Iures will also star.
The story is based on the novella of the same name by Romanian author and intellectual Mircea Eliade. Coppola also wrote the screenplay and will produce through his American Zoetrope production company. Shooting is scheduled to begin October 3rd in Bucharest.
Although he hasn’t directed a movie in the 8 years (since 1997’s The Rainmaker starring Matt Damon), in the interim Coppola has produced several movies of note — and also a lot of wine through his Niebaum-Coppola Winery in Napa Valley, California.
