Francis Ford Coppola has chosen newcomer Alden Ehrenreich to star in his family drama Tetro. Maribel Verdu (Pan's Labyrinth, Y Tu Mama Tambien) also is joining the cast, and Javier Bardem has an offer for a key role.

Written by Coppola, the script follows a young man (Ehrenreich) journeying to Buenos Aires to find his brother, who left the family years earlier.

Verdu will play the brother's girlfriend. Bardem, whose deal depends on scheduling, would play an Argentinean literary critic named Unknown.

I thought that Matt Dillon was going to be in this also but there is no mention of him anywhere in the story from The Hollywood Reporter.
