Armie Hammer Set to Star as THE GODFATHER Producer in Limited Series THE OFFER

Paramount+ is developing a limited series titled The Offer, which will tell the story of the making of the classic 1972 film The Godfather. The project is being produced by Paramount+ and Armie Hammer is set to star in the series as producer Al Ruddy.

The Offer will be based on the Oscar-winning producer Ruddy’s never before revealed experiences of making the iconic film that was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

The series will consist of 10 episodes, and it’s being written and executive produced by Michael Tolkin (Escape at Dannemora and The Player). Ruddy will also serve as executive producer alongside Nikki Toscano (Hunters) and Leslie Greif (Hatfields & McCoys).

There’s currently another “making of” Godfather project in development titled Francis and the Godfather, which stars Oscar Isaac as director Francis Ford Coppola and Jake Gyllenhaal playing legendary producer Robert Evans. That film will focus on the clashes between the filmmaker and a studio chief who badly needed a hit.

So between the two projects, we are going to get a lot of interesting behind-the-scenes details on the making of the classic movie.
