LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - 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 off-screen comments, and a sexually explicit scene in his film "Brown Bunny" with one-time girlfriend Chloe Sevigny.
