Francis Ford Coppola to publish his notebook on 'The Godfather'

Francis Ford Coppola is to publish the notebook he kept during making his classic film "The Godfather", reports Rolling Stone.

The 720-page "The Godfather Notebook" will detail the creative process behind the 1971 film, and will include Coppola's own annotations and directions, casting notes, and never-before-published photos.

Commenting on the news, Coppola said, "This notebook was my private work reference to 'The Godfather' film, and after many years, I'm excited to share it with those who may be interested. It is the key to understanding what went into making the film from Mario Puzo's novel."

"The Godfather Notebook" will be priced at US$50 (around RM200), while a limited number of signed copies will also be available for US$250 (around RM1,025).

The book is due to be released November 15 via Regan Arts.
