Here's why Coppola produced The Godfather Part 2.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The rare sequel that surpasses the original, The Godfather Part 2 sees director Francis Ford Coppola also taking on producing duties — something he didn't do for the first movie. Based on Mario Puzo's novel, the 1974 crime epic tells two stories: in the present, Michael Corleone navigates being the new Don, while in the past, Vito Corleone travels from Sicily to New York and builds his empire.
In the end, Paramount Pictures won out, and the sequel made history. While its box office draw wasn't as significant as the first film, The Godfather Part 2 garnered a staggering 11 Academy Award nominations and became the first sequel to win a Best Picture Oscar. In addition to The Godfather Part 2, the original spawned a third, oft-maligned film, which didn't release until 1990.
Why Francis Ford Coppola Didn't Produce The First Godfather When Sergio Leone declined Paramount's offer to direct The Godfather, the studio went down a list of filmmakers before eventually landing on Coppola, who'd mostly made B-movies and adult films before The Godfather. As a director, Coppola was trying to recoup from his poorly reviewed road drama The Rain People, while his production company, American Zoetrope, owed Warner Bros.
Eventually, Coppola relented and agreed to direct the adaptation. Alongside Puzo, Coppola penned the screenplay, insisting that The Godfather, first and foremost, should chronicle a family — both their rise and fall. Even after the writer-director signed on, the relationship between Coppola and Paramount was fraught. However, the filmmaker insisted on the period-piece setting and filming on location, choices that ballooned the budget significantly .
Why Francis Ford Coppola Agreed To Produce The Godfather: Part II The Godfather was an offer Coppola couldn't refuse due to his financial situation, but there have been conflicting accounts of the filmmaker's feelings on making The Godfather Part 2.
