Making of The Godfather Series First Look Unveiled

Paramount+ unveiled Tuesday the first look at its limited series “The Offer”,  which chronicles the making of one of cinema’s absolute classics, “The Godfather“.

The Godfather is considered a cinema masterpiece and a genre-defining movie. The franchise was released in 1972 and consisted of three movies.

It was based on the novel by author Mario Puzo and centered around the Corleones, a powerful mob family embroiled in a battle for power in mid-’40s New York.

The franchise starred Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Diane Keaton, and Robert Duvall and ended up winning three Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Brando.

The making of the classic will be told through the eyes of two-time Academy Award producer Albert S. Rudy, played by Miles Teller. The real Rudy executive produces the series.
