New York:
Vito 'Don' Corleone is set for another outing with his creator Mario Puzo's unpublished story about the mob boss set to be retold in a new novel.
Puzo, who wrote the book upon which the classic The Godfather films were based and helped write the first two screenplays, had another Corleone story in his pocket, tracing Vito's rise through the 1920's and 30's New York mob scene.
The tales took shape in a screenplay that went unproduced, but Puzo's final story will be retold as a new novel, reported New York Times online.
The novel, to be titled The Family Corleone will be adapted by author Edward Falco from screenplay to book and released in June, 2012.
Perhaps the most acclaimed and notable set of films of the 20th century, The Godfather series told the story of the complicated machinations of the Corleone crime family, from Vito's emigration from Italy to the backstabbing scramble by his sons to be his successor.
This isn't the first time The Godfather has been revisited, Puzo himself wrote a sequel to his original novel, titled The Sicilian that heavily featured the Corleone family.
