The trailer shows how Ruddy managed to turn around the studios with the budget and get onboard a reluctant director and a screenwriter. It also shows how Ruddy dealt with the Italian-American Civil Rights League that was led by mobster Joe Colombo and his dealings with the mafia who were not happy with a gangster film at the time.
The Godfather is an iconic trilogy film starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and others. However, The Offer will be a 10-episode limited series that will bring to light the making of the mob drama. The series has been created and written by Michael Tolkin. The Offer is set to premiere on April 28 on Paramount Plus.
