This week Francis Ford Coppola’s Tetro hits theaters following its May debut at the Cannes Film Festival. I was among the first to see the film back at the end of April and recently had a chance to speak with the Oscar-winning writer and director over the phone from his office at American Zoetrope, his production house that is also set to distribute the film, but it wasn’t always planned that way. “We sort of fell into self release without really wanting to,” Coppola tells me as the film hits theaters this Thursday, June 11. “It only happened because we didn’t particularly want to ...

Here are some interesting tidbits: He wrote the screenplay for the movie, “Patton,” was fired, and six years later they made the film.

I don't quite remember how I spent my Christmas in the past, except one. That was a few years ago when I was still living in North Carolina. It was cold and grey outside. I didn't leave the couch for about nine hours on that Christmas Day, mulching on leftovers and sipping hot tea — I was watching "The Godfather" (USA 1972, 175 min.), "The Godfather: Part II" (USA 1974, 200 min.), and "The Godfather: Part III" (USA 1990, 162 min.) continuously.

Written by Kyle Buchanan Though many of his famous peers like to say they’ll soon make smaller, more intimate movies, only Francis Ford Coppola actually seems to be doing it.

Movieline talked with Coppola about his own familial rivalries, the criticism his films have received ... Read Full Story
