Pacino denied the game’s developers request to use his likeness in the video game adaptation, instead opting to give it to Radical Entertainment who were developing an adaptation of their own with Scarface: The World is Yours.
The game then entered a two-year development cycle during which EA were able to obtain the services of Caan and Duvall, who both reprised their roles as Sonny Corleone and Tom Hagen respectively. Some 32 years later, EA announced that it was developing a video game adaptation of The Godfather in 2004. Almost 50 years later, the film is still considered by many to be the gold standard of filmmaking. Starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall, The Godfather is a complete masterclass when it comes to acting, screenwriting, cinematography, and directing. Released in 1972, Francis Ford Coppola’s mafia epic The Godfatherremains undoubtedly one of the greatest films ever made.
