The surviving cast of the first two The Godfather movies have reunited in New York.
Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, James Caan, Talia Shire and Robert Duvall watched The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather: Part II (1974) with an audience on the closing night of the Tribeca Film Festival at the weekend.
Coppola described the reunion experience as “emotional“, Duvall said the whole cast “had a great time” making the movie, whilst De Niro, who played a younger Vitto Corleone in the sequel, described how he videotaped Marlon Brando to learn his moves.
“I remember Gray Frederickson – the producer – and I went to the Gulf and Western Building at Paramount and went to the the screening room and took a tape recorder, you know, the old reel-to-reel and filmed the scenes that Brando was in,” he said.
“And I played them over and over again for myself.”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
