Well I guess you'll be sad to hear that Paramount has bought the rights...to BOTH books. They purchased these rights after The Godfather: The Game sold like hotcakes.

Even though both of Winegardner's books were lame...Returns was on NY Times Best Seller's List and Revenge did very well (depsite reviews). Paramount knows they'll make money off this franchise since consumers are still buying anything "Godfather".

I think it would be better for HBO to make both books a mini series...especially since The Sopranos is almost gone.
