Francis Ford Coppola wasn’t the first choice for the movie. Paramount Pictures were already in the talked with directors like Elia Kazan, Arthur Penn, Richard Brooks, and Costa-Gavras. They all turned t down and it went to Coppola based on the last movie he directed ‘The Rain People’.

However, during the filming, executives were constantly criticizing his directing style even to the point that they had stand-in directors waiting on set to make him shoot a more salacious gangster movie. It was when Michael kills Sollozzo and McCluskey, that executives saw and appreciated thus making his job permanent.

It was Coppola’s idea to keep the movie as a period drama. As cost-cutting was going on for the movie, Paramount asked him to change the script to a way that it looked like 1972’s New York while the shooting will be done in Kansas City. He convinced them to keep up with the script as the post-World War II New York makes the ‘The Godfather’ look more original and action-packed.

In order to make the characters look real with emotion, he used to organize improvisational rehearsal sessions with the actor as a family meal. They weren’t allowed to break the character they are playing in the movie. It was his way to make family roles more organic and real on screen. 

Initially, when Coppola suggested Marlon Brando for Vito Corleone, the Head of Paramount, Charles Bluhdorn, said to him that the actor will “never appear in a Paramount picture.” The studio wanted the director to cast Laurence Olivier as Vito, but after pursuing the Paramount to see the screen test of Marlo. He was finally cast in ‘The Godfather’.

When it comes to casting, the studio wanted Robert Redford or Ryan O’Neal in the role of Michael Corleone, but Coppola wanted to cast Al Pacino. Other actors, such as Martin Sheen and James Caan (who would go on to play Sonny), auditioned for Michael.
