Javier Bardem and Vincent Gallo to star in Frances Ford Coppola’s new drama.
Vincent Gallo is joining Javier Bardem in Francis Ford Coppola’s family drama “Tetro,” which starts shooting later this month in Buenos Aires.
Gallo will play the title character, a brother in a family torn apart by rivalries and betrayal. Newcomer Alden Ehrenreich plays the younger brother who searches for him in the Argentinean capital. Bardem plays a local literary critic, and Maribel Verdú (Y tu mamá también, Pan’s Labyrinth) plays Tetro’s longtime love interest.
“I know choosing Vincent Gallo to star in my film will raise a few eyebrows,” Coppola said, “but I’m betting that seeing him in the role will open some eyes.”
