One of the greatest movies of all time was even wilder behind the scenes than on-screen.

Paramount just dropped the new trailer for their upcoming limited series, "The Offer," which dramatizes the making of the beloved "Godfather" movie. The story follows Albert S. Ruddy (played by Miles Teller), the movie's producer,and the lengths he went to in order to get the movie made.

The trailer opens with an executive telling Ruddy,

"Gangster movies are dead."

To which he responds,

"This is not just some gangster film."

Ruddy is shown pitching the movie, based on the novel, which he hasn't read yet. Audiences are introduced to producer Robert Evans (Matthew Goode), manager Bettye McCart (Juno Temple) and director Francis Ford Coppola (Dan Fogler).

There's also an inside look to the casting of the film's stars, Al Pacino (Anthony Ippolito) and Marlon Brando (Justin Chambers), and the pushback from the actual mafia, who didn't want the story going public. Joe Colombo (Giovanni Ribisi), the boss of the Colombo crime family, tells Ruddy,

"You wanna make a movie that makes my people look like animals. That ain't gonna happen."

Of course, it did, as "the Godfather" became one of the most iconic movies in history, winning Best Picture and dominating box offices in 1972. The American Film Institute ranks it as the second best American movie ever made (the list is ever-shifting, but currently places "Citizen Kane" as the best).

The first three episodes of "The Offer" will be available to stream on April 28, with the final seven episodes each premiering weekly exclusively on Paramount+.
