June 6 (UPI) -- Rialto Pictures announced Friday it will re-release the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse in theaters this summer. The film will screen for two weeks at the Film Forum in New York beginning July 4 and play nationally after.
Hearts of Darkness follows Eleanor Coppola as she documents her husband, Francis Ford Coppola , during the making of his 1979 film Apocalypse Now . Filming in the Philippines went awry, including star Martin Sheen having a heart attack and Marlon Brando 's tardiness delaying production.
Behind-the-scenes directors Eleanor Coppola, Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper first assembled their footage in the Hearts of Darkness documentary in 1991. The trio won Emmys for Directing and Editing after the film premiered on Showt
