Sao Paulo, Aug 29: US film director Francis Ford Coppola is looking for land in southern Brazil where he can build a tourist resort, the G1.Globo.com news site said Tuesday.
The five-time-Oscar winning director arrived this week in Florianopolis, on the Atlantic coast some 500 kilometres south of here, in search of real estate for his business venture, said the website without further details.
Coppola, 68, already has several investments including a couple of wineries in the US state of California and resorts in Guatemala and Belize.
In June, the director of "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now" was in Buenos Aires where he bought a hotel boutique and where he also plans to set up a film production facility and shoot a movie in 2008, G1 said.
Coppola's latest directing stint is "Youth Without Youth," a pre-World War II love-mystery story starring Tim Roth and Matt Damon, which is due to open in December.
