The story in the article isn't exactly based on certainty, but the book is supposedly based on an unpublished screenplay by Puzo. Do you think that Puzo's son has the right to have it published?
Quote:
Paramount believes that the Puzo estate is getting ready for a third sequel novel and is going to court to make sure that doesn't happen. The book is reportedly titled The Family Coreleone and scheduled to be released in July.
The story tells the tale of Vito Corelone's rise to power in Depression-era New York. There's some word that the work is adapted from an unpublished screenplay owned by the Puzo family and could be presented as a prequel to The Godfather. Some legal observers question Paramount's hold over the work.
