Did you know that there was supposed to be a fourth 'Godfather' film? Here's why it never happened.
Few filmmakers or film professors would argue that The Godfather isn’t one of the most important achievements in cinematic history; in fact, most official polls assembling the greatest films of all-time come down to a fierce competition between The Godfather and Citizen Kane. Francis Ford Coppola’s mafia epic is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary next month, giving the cinephile community the chance to see one of the most iconic films ever made on the big screen .
The Godfather: Part III left the Corleone legacy on an open note. Prior to the tragic murder of Mary and his eventual death of heartbreak and aging, Michael names his nephew Vincent Manchini as the new head of the family. Garcia’s brilliant performance as the illegitimate son of Michael’s brother Sonny , infamously murdered in the first film, was one of the few bright spots in the film.
Unfortunately, the film fell apart due to Puzo’s death in 1999. Without the inspiration of the original author’s input, Coppola didn’t feel comfortable developing another project. Although the box office success of The Godfather: Part III certainly hadn’t made Paramount Pictures disinterred in producing another project, Coppola’s own productivity had stalled as he became involved with a series of lawsuits in the late ‘90s.
