The Godfather News
The actor will portray the disgraced football coach in an HBO film about the Penn State sex-abuse scandal.
The last time Francis Ford Coppola made a big splash with a venture into horror, it was with his romanticized and visually gripping "Bram Stoker's Dracula" in 1992. Was that lightning in a bottle, or a trickle from an untapped well of material that Coppola has curiously not gone to since? Copolla has an independently produced horror tale called "Twixt" that will premiere at September's Toronto International Film Festival, and now we have the official trailer.
Doesn't this usually happen the other way around? Apparently, Paramount Pictures feels that the estate of late The Godfather author Mario Puzo overstepped its bounds and authorized the penning of too many sequels. As it now stands according to Entertainment Weekly, the studio that distributed all the "The Godfather" films by director Francis Ford Coppola is now suing Anthony Puzo and his father's estate to block May's release by Grand Central Publishing of the prequel The Family Corleone.
