The upcoming Paramount+ limited series The Offer will take viewers behind the scenes of the turbulent road to the making of The Godfather. Thanks to the new official trailer, we now have a longer look at legendary producer Albert S. Ruddy (Miles Teller) and his struggle to make the classic gangster film. The clip opens with Ruddy’s meeting with studio execs Robert Evans (Matthew Goode) and Barry Lapidus (Colin Hanks), after which he is tasked with producing the film “no one wants to make.” Though Ruddy finds “someone who understands Italians” in Francis Ford Coppola (Dan Fogler), casting Al Pacino and Marlon Brando proves to be a hard sell to his bosses. As if Ruddy wasn’t facing enough obstacles, Five Families boss Joe Colombo (Giovanni Ribisi) vociferously expresses his opposition t...

Today, the studio announced that they’ve found their Dan Gallagher in Joshua Jackson. Jackson will star opposite Lizzy Caplan as Alex, a woman who becomes obsessed with Dan, a successful and married lawyer, after the two have a brief affair.
