The film, which was previously titled as Francis and The Godfather, is based on a Black List script written by Andrew Farotte, which was redeveloped by Levinson.
Golden Globe winner Isaac (Ex Machina) will play the role of The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola with Oscar nominee Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler, Brokeback Mountain) portraying producer Robert Evans and Moss set as Francis Ford Coppola’s wife Eleanor.
Moss will next be seen in Wes Anderson’s star-studded dramedy The French Dispatch and Taika Waititi’s Next Goal Wins.
Coppola reportedly gave his approval for Francis and the Godfather, saying: “Any move that Barry Levinson makes about anything, will be interesting and worthwhile!”
