As such, it might seem surprising thatThe Godfather Part 4never happened.
However, the only other adaptation fromThe Godfathernovels explains why further Puzo projects were few and far between.
With a supporting cast including Terence Stamp and John Turturro,The Siciliancould have been a major hit.
CiminosThe Deer Hunteris a masterpiece, but the director had infamously bad luck at the box office.
Infamously, Cimino also refused to cutThe Sicilians runtime down to less than 150 minutes.
The result was a critical catastrophe.
This provides an insight into what went wrong with Ciminos movie.
Thus,The Godfathers trilogy unofficial interquel failed precisely becauseThe Sicilianwas an unofficial addition to the franchises mythos.
