ROME (Reuters) -Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola has been discharged from the hospital in Rome where he was admitted two days ago, and is "feeling good", a person familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

Coppola is already working on a new project. Earlier this summer, he was in Calabria scouting out locations for the film. Few details have been revealed, other than that the director intends to highlight the wonders of the region.
