The Offer Paramount+ New Series
■
The Godfather, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, is one of the most beloved films of all time. Getting Mario Puzo’s book to the big screen was an arduous, at times dangerous undertaking that almost didn’t happen. The 10-episode series The Offer recounts the difficult task of producing cowriter/director Francis Ford Coppola’s (Dan Fogler) masterpiece. The expansive story, with inexperienced producer Al Ruddy (Miles Teller) at the center, covers everything from Puzo (Patrick Gallo) and Coppola’s struggles adapting the novel to casting and budget problems, studio turmoil (Matthew Goode plays Robert Evans, the famed head of Paramount Pictures at the time), an angry Frank Sinatra and intense interest from organized crime. Giovanni Ribisi, Juno Temple, Colin Hanks, Burn Gorman and Nora Arnezeder co-star. The first three episodes are available today; subsequent new
episodes are available Thursdays.
