Godfather goes to court

Paramount Pictures and Electronic Arts released the Godfather game back in 2006. The estate of Mario Puzo (the author of the original books) has now sued for royalties from the video game.

Anthony Puzo, Mario's son, has initiated the lawsuit, which seeks at least $1 million in damages. He claims that his father and Paramount reached an agreement in 1992 in which Paramount promised his father a "significant share" of revenue from any product incorporating elements of the Godfather saga.

The defendants have been too busy going to the mattresses to comment on the lawsuit.
