NEW YORK (Reuters) – Call it an offer you can't refuse?
A prequel to the late Mario Puzo's best-selling novel "The Godfather" is headed for bookstores in June 2012, publishers Grand Central Publishing said on Wednesday.
Called "The Family Corleone," the book will be written by author Ed Falco and is based on an unproduced screenplay by Puzo. The story is set in 1930s Depression-era New York and tells how Vito Corleone rose through the criminal underworld to become the influential Don Corleone in "The Godfather".
The novel is authorized by the estate of Puzo, who died in 1999 at the age of 78 after winning two Oscars for adapting "The Godfather" into the 1970s movies "The Godfather" and "The Godfather: Part II," starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino.
