Author’s Son Sues Over Godfather Game

June 20th, 2008 Posted in Action, Business, PC, PSP, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360

n59916 Son of deceased author Mario Puzo, Anthony Puzo, has filed a lawsuit against Godfather license holder Paramount Pictures, claiming breach of contract over the licensed action game released back in 2006.

Puzo demands at least $1 million in compensation, noting that he never received any royalty payments from the licensed game. Anthony Puzo believes he is entitled to said payments due to an alleged 1992 agreement between his father and Paramount. Reuters reports that the deal entitled the author’s estate to a “significant share of the revenue of any audio-visual products sold or rented with elements of the ‘Godfather’ movies.”

A second Godfather game has been revealed as of late. It is not known if Puzo knows about the existence of this title or not.
