The Godfather: Part III.Released in 1990, critics were not kind to the director’s third instalment in the legendary mafia franchise, which featured a turn from a 19-year-old Sofia Coppola.Winona Ryder had originally been cast in the role of Michael Corleone’s daughter, Mary, but the character was ultimately played by Sofia – now a highly regarded filmmaker in her own right, having directed award-winning movies including The Virgin Suicides (1999) and Lost In Translation (2003).Speaking to

George Lucas was once a very promising young filmmaker working under the wing of his mentor Francis Ford Coppola in the heyday of New Hollywood, so it’s a bit depressing seeing his legacy get eclipsed by “Star Wars.” Between “American Graffiti” and “THX 1138” audiences were robbed of more distinct films by Lucas, and Ford Coppola seems to be sad that Lucas has only directed “Star Wars” movies since 1977.

Francis Ford Coppola has reflected on the criticism of his daughter Sofia’s performance in The Godfather: Part III. While the first two Godfather films are considered timeless classics of cinema, the third entry, released in 1990, is widely considered a disappointment.

Francis Ford Coppola has said he is “done” with The Godfather, ahead of the release of a new cut of The Godfather III. The director said that much of his motive to re-edit the film was due to the negative criticism of his daughter and now-fellow filmmaker Sofia Coppola.

When “Godfather Part III” came out, the film was criticized as a letdown after the success of the previous film, but most of the more hateful comments were directed directly at Sofia Coppola, and her now-infamously panned performance in the film. Now, Sofia and Francis Ford Coppola opened up about the backlash and how Sofia was sort of thrown under the bus for the film.

We are on the verge of seeing Francis Ford Coppola’s latest attempt to re-edit one of his previous films, this time tackling “The Godfather Part III.” The new version, dubbed “Mario Puzo’s The Godfather: Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone,” is about to be released in select theaters and on Blu-ray, giving fans of the classic crime franchise a new look at what is often regarded as one of the most disappointing sequels of all time.
