Director FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA has blasted reports alleging production on his new movie TETRO has been shut down.
Production on the film, which is set in Argentina, was rumoured to have been brought to a halt last week (ends23May08), after representatives of the Asociacion Argentina de Actores (Argentina Actors Association, AAA) claimed union members in the movie had been working without a contract.
They went on to allege that Coppola's production company Zoetrope Argentina had been given opportunities to correct the contractual issues, which they claim have been a problem since shooting commenced in March (08).
AAA spokesman Daniel Valenzuela tells the Hollywood Reporter: "At the moment, they are not filming because the contracts have (not) arrived to the union. On Tuesday, the union gave them 48 hours to present the documents and they didn't do that, so we took this action."
But Coppola's representative, Kathleen Talbert, has dismissed the claims, insisting there have been no delays in the film's production.
She says, "There are no holds on shooting, no problem with actors. In fact, the majority of the Argentine actors have already wrapped the shooting."
Coppola's semi-autobiographical screenplay follows the life of an artistic family in modern-day Argentina and stars actress Carmen Maura, Vincent Gallo and Maribel Verdu.

Actress KRISTIN DAVIS has laughed off reports she is in a secret relationship, insisting she only wears a wedding band because she is used to playing married women.
The Sex And The City star, 43, is adamant she is still single and in search of the right partner to wed - despite the ring she frequently wears on her wedding finger.
When asked about the jewellery worn on her left hand, she replied, "Oh, this? I'm not married.
"It's just that I've played a married character for so long that if I don't have a ring on this finger I feel a bit weird."
"I studied the great ones. I observed them as they walked the red carpet and dealt with interviews - you know BRAD PITT, ANGELINA JOLIE, CLINT EASTWOOD and GWYNETH PALTROW." SEAN COMBS is convinced he has mastered all the important aspects of being an actor.
