The film "Coppola and the Godfather" has recently re-identified a lead actor

The 1905 film Network News, which tells the story behind Francis Coppola's filming of "The Godfather", recently re-identified a starring role. Eventually, Elizabeth Moss, best known for "The Handmaid's Tale," joined the cast. Her role is the wife of director Coppola.

In addition, Oscar Isaac and Jack Gyllenhaal will play important roles in the film. The former will play Ford Francis Coppola himself, while Gyllenhaal will play Paramount's then-head robert Evans. The film is based on an Andrew Farot's screenplay of the same name. The script was on the 2015 screenplay blacklist. Peter Barthes, vice president of Paramount, who was the producer and distributor of the film that year, will serve as the consultant for the film, and it was he who spent $80,000 to buy the right to adapt the novel to produce this classic in film history. "Coppola and the Godfather" will focus on how director Francis Ford Coppola joined the project, as well as the participation of Al Pacino and Marlon Brando, and his dealings with the real-life New York mafia, which is very exciting.

Currently, the film's director is Barry Levenson, who has filmed well-known works such as "Rain Man", "Survival of the Fittest", "Good Morning Vietnam", and has also worked with Al Pacino, one of the main actors of "The Godfather", "Doctor Death". Regarding the ability to shoot the film, Barry Levenson said: "The crazy shooting process, against all the discordant sounds, and finally become a classic. ”

Coppola said: "Any film about anything made by Barry Levenson is interesting and worth looking forward to. Released in 1972, The Godfather is a film history classic, based on Mario Puzo's novel of the same name, which tells the story of the development of the gangster family led by Vito Don Corleone and how Corleone's youngest son, Mike, succeeded his father as the leader of the gang.
