Mario Puzo’s son Anthony Puzo has filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures, claiming the company failed to pay a share for Puzo’s estate from the game’s Royaltie’s. A “Godfather: The Game” was made in 2006 by EA, the game pictured above, it was based on the same story and same characters from the film. Anthony Puzo is not suing the company that made the game EA, he is suing Paramount.

7 years earlier before Mario Puzo died in 1999, Puzo and Paramount agreed to come to a deal that Puzo would receive a share from any audio or visual products made by the “Godfather” series. Anthony is sticking by his father’s wishes because this is what Mario Puzo would have wanted.

I expect Paramount to speak out about this soon, they’ll probably defend themselves so this lawsuit will get dismissed.
