In 1990,The Godfather Part IIIstruggled to replicate that success.
It wasnt as big of a box office hit as expected and it was met with mixed reviews.
After that harsh reception, it might sound like a dangerous idea to pursueThe Godfather Part IV.
But Coppola did begin work on a fourth film before eventually shelving the project.
Coppola and Puzo had co-written the first three films and started discussing a fourth.
However,The Godfather Part IVfell apartwhen Puzo passed away in 1999.
Since Coppola initially developed the project with Puzo, it might feel wrong to complete it without him.
It wouldve followed anotherhalf sequel, half prequel storyline likeThe Godfather Part II.
The novel was written by Edward Falco and got published in 2012 under the titleThe Family Corleone.
