Yep, they're really going there.
CBS All Access will be rebranding themselves as Paramount + in 2021, and doing The Godfather as a TV show.

Misleading. It's a scripted series about Al Ruddy producing The Godfather.

Misleading. It's a scripted series about Al Ruddy producing The Godfather. You are right, the tweet was misleading. But to be fair, this is probably a gateway to a full fledged TV remake, "expanded universe" or sequel of the films. The sudden passion for the Godfather property (who asked for a new cut of Part 3  ) makes it feel like that announcement is going to be imminent. |

Misleading. It's a scripted series about Al Ruddy producing The Godfather. "a 10-episode scripted limited series from writer-executive producer Michael Tolkin about Al Ruddy’s experience producing The Godfather." A bit off topic but whenever his name comes up I feel obliged to say that Michael Tolkin wrote one of my favorite modern books - most people know him for The Player (novel and screenplay) but his followup book Among The Dead always seemed a big missed opportunity to me as a film especially too - it's a killer black comedy............now if somebody wants to film that book for the Paramount+ network, I am totally in.......  |

Ruddy is 90, Tolkin is 70, they've done some great work in the past but now this is what they wanna tackle? Casting itself is gonna be impossible, and whoever they wrongly pick we're gonna have 10 hours of shy Al and emotional Coppola? Some guy named Leslie Greif is also listed as writer/producer for this and he's mainly work in reality tv, yikes. Fredo you broke my heart. Cannavale as Coppola?  |

Who's directing??
And though I can't wrap my mind around someone playing Al seriously, I'm gonna throw a prediction to 5'7 Italian, John Magaro....

Dexter Fletcher directing some of it....
Kinda yikes as he's super glossy... and I didn't know Nikki Toscano was showrunner, she didn't handle Hunters well.

This has been getting some truly atrocious reviews, though I guess fairly mixed overall, as it debuts with a 51 metascoreLooks like an offer we'll gladly refuse. |
