@afarro73 Thats a common misconception though Francis fought for Brando, and Pacino It was infact Robert Evans (producer) who made Francis go back into the cutting room and add parts back in. With Roberts fight with Charlie Bludhorn (president of Paramount) they delayed the release for that year and consequently over fighting and everything they put back together the video we seen. But little does history ever complement or congratulate the editors, producers, and all of them

PS. Just how much effort he took to prevent Paramont ruining this picture every step of the way, lol! (on Brando, Pacino, 40′s shooting, etc.)

ridley scott got the budget for alien doubled when he showed his storyboards to the producer. Coppola got the same way with this huge treatment. Shows a little effort goes a long way.

I wonder what an Apocalypse Now Prompt Book would’ve looked like. Awesomeness.

lmao I wonder if Michael Bay did this with Transformers 2. The difference between an artist like this and someone like Bay shows how far we’ve strayed in what film should be. Sad really, you can see the passion he has for telling a story just in the size of his notebook.

I wish they made this into a coffee table book like Kurt Cobain’s journal, as a guy that likes the process of script writing & movie making I would love to own that book.

Wow! I’d love to have that notebook!

One thing I dont get is how he took out the trial in the begining and just have the guy talking about it, genius!
And in the book, the Don aint not in an office.

His great dissecting, attention to detail, hours of painstaking research and great production, amazing actors– is what makes The Godfather the best movie of all time. Francis is amazing.
