Variety reports that HBO is developing Francis and The Godfather as an original film, telling the story about the making of the classic movie.
Paul Bart, the executive who first optioned The Godfather for Paramount, will serve as a consultant on the project.
After its release, The Godfather was hailed as one of the greatest motion pictures ever made.
From getting the script just right to finding the perfect cast, and even dealing with real life Mafioso, the making of The Godfather is a story worthy of a film all its own.
