Godfather Game Lawsuit [Jun 19, 2008, 11:19 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Mario Puzo may be sleeping with Luca Brasi and the fishes since 1999, but his
estate is not letting anyone horn in on his territory, as
this report indicates that Anthony Puzo has filed a lawsuit against
Paramount Pictures over revenue from the recent Godfather video game. The
author's son claims the estate is due at least $1 million from the game, based
on an agreement between his father and the movie studio in 1992 that was "to
give Puzo a significant share of the revenue of any audio-visual products sold
or rented with elements of the 'Godfather' movies." Paramount has not yet
commented on the lawsuit, though in an interesting related note,
EA has made it clear a sequel to the game is in the works.
So what you are saying is that just because someone dies, their creations are up for grabs to anyone that wants them?
Actually nobody but you is arguing that. It's not about what Anthony deserves. It's what the ESTATE is entitled to based on legal contracts. It's FAMILY money, not Anthony's. he may not see a single dime should he win the lawsuit. We do not know how the Estate is setup and distributed. It could all be set to go to a Charity or directly into stocks/bonds etc, for all we know.
