ComingSoon is excited to debut an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from The Offer, the Paramount series revolving around the creation of The Godfather. The series is set to release in Blu-ray and DVD formats on November 29 and can currently be streamed on Paramount+.
“The Offer follows the journey of Al Ruddy, a Hollywood outsider who starts as a programmer and ends up producing one of the greatest films of all time: The Godfather,” reads the series’ synopsis. “Over the course of the production, Ruddy, along with his assistant Bettye McCartt and director Francis Ford Coppola, contend with all the problems of making a movie: from battles over casting and scripting to the involvement of the real-life mafia. Paralleling Ruddy’s rise is the ascent of crime boss Joe Colombo and the Italian-American Civil Rights League, which condemns Mario Puzo’s bestselling novel. Ruddy’s film adaptation puts him & Colombo on a collision course that will ultimately make or break the movie. Hanging in the balance is Paramount Pictures, a last-place studio on the verge of being scrapped by parent company Gulf & Western. Robert Evans, the iconic studio executive, gambles on The Godfather to save Paramount and put it where it belongs: at the top.”
