Gallo Joins Bardem in Coppola Movie

Gallo will play the title character, a brother in a family torn apart by rivalries and betrayal.

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 Verdu plays Tetro's longtime love interest.

Gallo is known for his on-set battles directing "Buffalo '66," his provocative offscreen comments, and a sexually explicit scene in his film "Brown Bunny" with one-time girlfriend Chloe Sevigny.
