Lohan Turned Down The Hangover; Coppola Wanted Scorsese To Direct Godfather 2

Did you know: Lindsay Lohan turned down a role in The Hangover claiming that the script had "no potential."

Francis Ford Coppolas TETRO Trailer Now Online -- Whats black and white and weird all over?

Written by Nicole Pedersen Its hard to believe that before 2007's "Youth Without Youth", it was ten long years since Francis Ford Coppola directed a feature film. Its also hard to believe that the film he chose to go out on back in 1997 was The Rainmaker. I like a good John Grisham movie, dont get me wrong but The Rainmaker lacked the epic feel that, like it or not, comes along with being the creator of The Godfather. The evils of insurance companies just dont stack up against fratricide. So what has Coppola Senior been doing for the past couple years? Aside from making wine and directing his daughters career, that is? Turns out hes been working on a little movie called Tetro with Vincent Gallo. Wait! Where are you going? Im pretty sure Gallo only acts in the movie! For the love of Godfather people! ...
