[QUOTE]Apparently it was an offer the judge could refuse.
A federal judge in New York has dismissed legal attempts made by the family of The Godfather author Mario Puzo that would have terminated a contract between the estate and Paramount, giving the studio film rights to continue making movies set in the Godfather. universe. At the same time, however, THR reports that the judge also refused to dismiss a claim by Puzo’s family that Paramount breached a contract by preventing them from moving ahead on a planned book sequel. So it was good news, bad news for the studio an the Puzo clan.
Back in February, Paramount sued to block a book titled The Family Corleone, which they claimed would “tarnish” the legacy of the films they have in their vault. According to its contract, Paramount allowed the Puzos to release one Godfather sequel in print form, and it was 2004’s The Godfather Returns. Any more would be a violation.
From here, THR says the case will continue into a series of appeals and counterclaims, which likely will tie up the legal system. The loser, if there is one, has to be the fans of the Corleone story, who probably would have enjoyed more stories in print (or even in the video game adaptations that have hit the shelves over the years). Puzo crafted a rich world that Paramount could have explored through various mediums. For now, the Godfather seems stuck in a courtroom, where lawyers argue his fate. [/QUOTE]

They can reboot it for the modern age.
Now Michael can text Sonny "just shot Sollozzo and the cop lol".

Dicks
Gigantic fucking cocks
oh noooooo
the godfather 4: electric boogaloo
Just because you can, do you really think you should?
guys uh this by no means indicates that paramount is going to make more godfather films
I'm not so sure about this...
Kinda ironic that the Godfather is stuck in court now :v:

It's Hollywood, of course they will.
Sarah Jessica Parker as dead horse head
This doesn't necessarily mean they'll actually make more Godfather films. They're just thinking "Man, imagine if we got this amazing script [I](lol yeah right)[/I] but we wouldn't be able to produce it? that would suck goat testicles!"
To them, it's better to have the rights and not act on them than need them and not have them. It's just a matter of foresight.
i hope they make a more multicultural one that better reflects todays diverse society

coincidently I did see the first 2 Godfathers in the last 2 days.
In my mind, the second movie pretty much closed off the series.
Now in 3d remasterized blue-ray limited edition deluxe

Sollozzo shot first.
With CGI dinosaurs.
I've never seen the godfather movies
[QUOTE=Rusty100;37957540]2 late hes a lion now[/QUOTE]I thought that was just for Reincarnated?
DON'T, PLEASE!
I thought Part 3 was a good conclusion, but that is all. It wasn't one or two, but I certainly wouldn't want to tarnish it after a third film that decides critics and fans alike.
