The Offer Trailer Shows Miles Teller Leading the Chaotic Making of The Godfather

Albert S. Ruddy's "never-before-seen experiences" of bringing the iconic American crime film The Godfather to the big screen will soon be told in Paramount+'s The Offer.

The official trailer, released on Wednesday, shows the story of Oscar-winning producer Ruddy who navigates his way from behind the scenes to produce the greatest gangster film of all time, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

In the series, Miles Teller stars as Albert S. Ruddy alongside Matthew Goode (Robert Evans), Juno Temple (Bettye McCartt), Giovanni Ribisi (Joe Colombo), Dan Fogler (Coppola), Burn Gorman (Charles Bluhdorn), Colin Hanks (Barry Lapidus) and Patrick Gallo (Mario Puzo).

The plot follows the complicated working relationships between Ruddy, Coppola, Evans and Marlon Brando. The 1972 film was an adaptation of a crime novel written by Puzo.

In the official trailer, Evans asks Ruddy if he had read the book. "Sure, who hasn't," he says as Evans later tells him, "We've been all over town, and no one wants to make this movie, so I need you to produce it."

Part of the clip features Ruddy's struggles during the making of the project, including negotiation with Colombo, who was a member of the five families of the American Mafia in New York City.

"You wanna make a movie that's gonna make my people look like animals, and that ain't gonna happen," Colombo says to Ruddy.

The series was first announced in 2020, though Armie Hammer was originally cast in the lead role. The 35-year-old actor exited the project in January 2021.

Series creator Michael Tolkin previously praised Ruddy's determination in getting The Godfather made.

"Al has the most brilliant combination of tenacity and taste," Tolkin told Vanity Fair in January of Ruddy, who is one of The Offer's executive producers. "With all the forces against him, he moved steadily ahead, protecting the film's vision, not his own ego."

Further teasing the series, Tolkin said "for every character in the film, getting it made or stopping it from being made was at the core of their actions."

Tolkin added, "It was a matter of life and death to them. So that's not a gangster story, that's a human story. That's what gave the book and the movie so much power. Everyone is fighting for their existence."

The first three episodes of The Offer premiere April 28 on Paramount+.
