Decades after Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather saga has concluded, the endless fascination with both the films themselves as well as their creation continues. The director himself has just finished a brand-new cut of the third entry, Barry Jenkins is drawing inspiration from the second entry for his new Lion King movie, and now another project has surfaced which will dive deep into the making of the first film.
Deadline reports Oscar Isaac will star as Francis Ford Coppola and Jake Gyllenhaal will play Robert Evans in Francis and The Godfather, a new film directed by Barry Levinson. Based on a Black List script by Andrew Farotte, the drama will follow the tumultuous battles in getting the first film off the ground in the early 1970s.
