Martin Scorsese was Considered for "Godfather II"

Posted: July 7th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Martin Scorsese was Considered for Godfather IISubmit Comment
In an interview with Esquire magazine, director Francis Ford Coppola revealed that he wasn't interested in helming the "Godfather" sequel and had another director in mind.

"The ending was clear and Michael has corrupted himself — it was over. So I didn't understand why they wanted to make another Godfather," he explained. "I said, 'What I will do is help you develop a story. And I'll find a director and produce it.' They said, 'Well, who's the director?' And I said, 'Young guy, Martin Scorsese.' They said, 'Absolutely not!' He was just starting out."

At the time, Scorsese only made "I Call First" and "Boxcar Bertha." He was still working on "Mean Streets" with Robert De Niro when Coppola recommended him.

Oh, Trolltasha. Let's completely not include interested tidbits because of you. This is from a recent interview.... so, no, it hasn't been known for 30 years. Thanks for contributing to the site though.
