The real reason why ‘The godfather IV’ never rolled

One of the Greater sagas From the history of cinema he stayed in trilogy for different reasons of the work.

Coppola He is one of the greatest architects in the history of classical cinema, he was able to turn what was going to be in his beginnings a film about the novel of Mario Puzo In every masterpiece that closed the cycle with three spectacular deliveries. Today it is still one of the most viewed, of the Public favorites and of the best valued. The circle closed with Michael Corleone His particular search to continue the family business, while dealing with a new gun of mafia such as Vincent and Sonny's son. However, many wonder why there was no quarter to continue with the show that were giving this Gangsters family.

The question could have an answer, in fact a quarter could be done but since Puzo and Coppola gathered to perform a quarter since they seemed logical to count more about the corleone family. A fourth tape that was going to have a structure similar to "The godfather: Part II", with two temporal lines: the one of the past would focus on the rise of Vito Corleone, which would be interpreted by Robert de Niro, from Sonny's gaze. And a second focused on the present with Vincent as Chief of the Corleone and his relationship with Sonny, before he died, as well as his rivalry with Michael Corleone.

However, everything remained at all and the project fell due both to the death of the screenwriter, Mario Puzzo, as with the failure at the box office (it raised only 130 million dollars, over a budget of 54 million). But there is still a ray of hope in all this because Paramount+ prepares a Miniseries of ten episodes that will focus on how this cinematographic work was created, and will be related from the producer's memoirs.

Everything was not going to be bad news and even less when a great corporation is behind a saga as powerful at the media level as it is "The godfather” So if you liked the trilogy, we hope you are attentive to its novelties here, in friking.
