The fourth film was intended to be a prequel and a sequel. This has been resolved, with Paramount gaining the rights to make more Godfather films. The estate of Puzo had sought to keep Paramount Pictures from producing a feature film based on the novel. Puzo's portion of the potential sequel, dealing with the Corleone family in the early 1930s, was eventually expanded into a novel by Ed Falco and released in 2012 as The Family Corleone. After Puzo's death, Coppola decided to not continue the film series. García has since claimed the film's script was nearly produced. Earlier, on June 21, 1999, The Hollywood Reporter had reported that a fourth film was in the works with García in the lead role. The film also weaves into its plot a fictionalized account of real-life events, which include the 1978 death of Pope John Paul I and the Papal banking scandal of 19, and links them with each other and with the affairs of Michael Corleone.įollowing the reaction after the third film, Coppola stated that the idea of a fourth had been discussed but Puzo died on July 2, 1999, before they had a chance to write the film. It completes the story of Michael Corleone, a Mafia kingpin who tries to legitimize his criminal empire, and shows the rise of Sonny Corleone's illegitimate son Vincent Mancini as Michael's successor. Francis Ford Coppola returned as director for the feature-length film, while also writing the screenplay with the help of the author Mario Puzo. The Godfather Part III was released on December 25, 1990.
