Screenplay by Francis Ford Coppola stolen at his home in Argentina

The screenplay of Francis Ford Coppola's latest film was stolen from the director's home in Buenos Aires, police said Thursday.

According to the results of a preliminary investigation, five men broke into Coppola's house, in the Palermo neighbourhood in northern Buenos Aires, and hurt one employee.

The burglars left with computers and other personal belongings including the screenplay of Tetro, Coppola's next work. Filming is scheduled to start in February in Argentina.

'They were looking for money, and they did not find it because there wasn't any. And they took computers and other digital devices, like a camera,' said an employee who acted as a spokeswoman for the director.

'The only thing we want to ask, on behalf of Mr Coppola, is that they please return at least the information that is inside his computer, which holds all his creative work of a very long time,' the woman said.
