Anthony Puzo, son of the late Mario Puzo, is suing Paramount Pictures for at least $1M for breach of contract, after the studio allegedly failed to turn over revenues from the video game adaptation of Mario Puzo’s novel “The Godfather”.
Paramount licensed game published Electronic Arts to turn the original 1972 film into a video game in 2006. According to the younger Puzo, the Puzo estate has not received any revenue from the video game since then.
