EXCLUSIVE: Barry Levinson will direct Francis And The Godfather, with Oscar Isaac starring as Francis Coppola and Jake Gyllenhaal as Robert Evans in a drama about the legendary and wild battles that went into making the 1972 classic The Godfather. The film is based a Black List script by Andrew Farotte that was redeveloped by Levinson. Echo Lake Entertainment’s Mike Marcus, Doug Mankoff and Andrew Spaulding are producing with Kevin Turen, Jon Levin and Baltimore Pictures’ Jason Sosnoff.

This sounds great. Can't wait to see who they get to play Brando and a young Pacino

Yeah, I was thinking of these legendary characters as well... really looking forward to Pacino and Brando in this. I wouldn't be surprised if Pacino would be played by a newcomer - the same way Pacino was a newcomer back then.

this is obviously going to be rated r with the steamy sex scene between Isaac and Gyllenhaal

I'd like to see that.

dicaprio cameo as gordon willis i'm just saying...
