Oscar Isaac and Jake Gyllenhaal Star in Film About the Making of 'THE GODFATHER'

Kapanlagi.com - Barry Levinson will direct FRANCIS AND THE GODFATHER with actor Oscar Isaac playing Francis Coppola and actor Jake Gyllenhaal as Robert Evans. The film is said to be a drama about the making of the legendary film THE GODFATHER with a classic touch. The film itself is based on the BLACK LIST screenplay by Andrew Farotte and further developed by Levinson. Mike Marcus from Echo Lake Entertainment, Doug Mankoff and Andrew Spaulding will be producers along with Kevin Turen, Jon Levin, and Jason Sosnoff from Baltimore Pictures.

Although THE GODFATHER is considered one of the greatest American films and a symbol of the auteur era of the 70s, its production process was not easy. At that time, Coppola was determined to convince Evans to work on the project in New York with a time setting following the novel. After the original script by Mario Puzo was set, there were debates about the idea of including a fight between Marlon Brando's character and another character that was not originally in the script. This certainly presented its own challenges, as the production house at that time was also under threat. At that time there was an unpleasant discussion with the parties involved (the mafia) who were not too happy if their affairs were shown in a big film studio.

"From the madness of production, and against all odds, a classic film happened," Levinson said.

This film will be very interesting to see who will play Robert Duvall (Tom Hagen), James Caan (Sonny Corleone) ), John Cazale (Fredo), Talia Shire (Connie Corleone), Diane Keaton (Kay Corleone), and other fantastic actors.This film focuses on the clash between filmmakers and demanding producers.

It is worth noting that Marlon Brando, the star of THE GODFATHER, won an Oscar.The film also won Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay for Puzo and Coppola.

The film project also received positive response from Francis Ford Coppola.He said, "Any film made by Barry Lavinson about anything will be interesting and valuable!" Let's see the result of the film FRANCIS AND THE GODFATHER later.

For KLovers who have never watched Barry Levinson's work, you can enjoy his masterpiece in RAIN MAN.In that film, you can enjoy the brilliant acting of Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman as siblings. Interestingly, the brother played by Dustin is portrayed as having autism.
