Without seeing the contract, it is all guesswork as to what rights the estate retains, if any, regarding the work. They say they have the right, the studio disagrees. A judge (or jury) will sort it out.

You think that the screen plays co-written by Puzo have nothing to do with the copyright over what Kali Yuga calls "the "Godfather" materials" or "the "Godfather" works"?
What is the case at hand about? The original book? The sequel "The Sicilian
" by Mario Puzo? The authorized sequel "The Godfather Returns" by Mark Winegardner? The now contested "The Godfather's Revenge" by Mark Winegardner?
