The making of Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s 1972 classic is now the subject of The Offer<\/em>, a limited series which premiered on M-Net (DStv channel 101) on Monday 2 May at 22h30, just days after its US debut on Paramount+, Paramount\u2019s streaming service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The limited series stars Miles Teller (Whiplash<\/em>) as Albert S. Ruddy, whose experience is the basis of the series; Matthew Goode (A Discovery of Witches<\/em>) as studio exec Robert Evans; Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts<\/em>) as director Coppola; Juno Temple (Ted Lasso<\/em>) as Al\u2019s assistant Bettye McCartt; Colin Hanks (Impeachment: American Crime Story<\/em>) as the man with the money, Barry Lapidus; Giovanni Ribisi (Sneaky Pete<\/em>) as real-life mafia don Joe Colombo; Burn Gorman (The Man in High Castle<\/em>) as industrialist Charles Bluhdorn; and Patrick Gallo (The Irishman<\/em>) as Godfather<\/em> author Mario Puzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
