NEW YORK<\/strong> | Decades after the last \u201cGodfather\u201d movie and more than 10 years since the last \u201cGodfather\u201d novel, the story of the Corleone crime family has a new chapter, presented for the first time from a woman\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n

Random House told The Associated Press that it had acquired a \u201cGodfather\u201d novel authorized by the estate of Mario Puzo and written by bestselling author Adriana Trigiani. \u201cConnie\u201d is scheduled for a fall 2027 release and will center on the Corleone family member played by Talia Shire, sister of director Francis Ford Coppola, in the three \u201cGodfather\u201d films.<\/p>\n

\u201cConnie\u201d is the third \u201cGodfather\u201d book approved by the estate and the first written by a woman.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Connie\u2019 is a novel about how a woman works to forge her own way in a world that\u2019s already decided who she is, what she\u2019s about, and how she should be treated,\u201d Trigiani said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cPeople underestimated Don Vito Corleone and Michael Corleone at their peril. The same will be true for Connie Corleone.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Paramount Pictures, which produced the \u201cGodfather\u201d movies,\u201d holds the film rights. Additional details were not immediately available.<\/p>\n

Puzo, whose blockbuster 1969 novel \u201cThe Godfather,\u201d provided the basis and title for the first film, died in 1999 and his estate has since battled with Paramount over who controls rights to the Corleone characters. In 2012, the movie studio sued to block publication of Ed Falco\u2019s \u201cThe Family Corleone.\u201d After the estate countersued, the two sides agreed to a settlement that allowed the estate to continue initiating book projects and awarded film rights to Paramount.<\/p>\n

The final release of the original \u201cGodfather\u201d trilogy, \u201cThe Godfather Part III,\u201d came out in 1990. The films all starred Al Pacino as Michael Corleone, Connie\u2019s brother, with other actors appearing in at least one movie including Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton. The \u201cGodfather\u201d saga has earned more than $400 million worldwide and won nine Academy Awards, two of them to Puzo in the 1970s for best adapted screenplay.<\/p>\n

Trigiani, a million-selling author who wrote of her own Italian roots in the novel \u201cThe Shoemaker\u2019s Wife,\u201d is also known for such favorites as \u201cLucia, Lucia\u201d and \u201cThe Queen of the Big Time.\u201d According to Random House, the Puzo estate \u201csought out\u201d Trigiani after she published a Substack essay lamenting how little was known about the Corleone women.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had been looking for someone to retell the story from a new perspective,\u201d Anthony Puzo, the author\u2019s son and executor, said in a statement. \u201cAdriana was knocked out when I told her that the character of Vito Corleone (played in the films by Brando and De Niro) was actually based on my grandmother. We talked about how the women ran both of our families, but behind the scenes. Adriana\u2019s vision for Connie\u2019s life blew us all away. I\u2019m very pleased and excited to have her on board.\u201d<\/p>\n
