LOS ANGELES, CA — In a special joint announcement with legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he will be writing the screenplay for a new sequel to Paramount Pictures' The Godfather.

With the movie industry struggling, Paramount opted to return to what they consider a "sure thing" in the form of The Godfather Part IV as re-envisioned by the former host of Win Ben Stein's Money.

"Kimmel once told me he liked The Godfather, so I think he's the perfect man to write a new chapter in the Corleone family saga," said Coppola. "Also, I really didn't want to do it."

The studio reportedly wanted to follow in the footsteps of Warner Brothers and New Line Cinema, which tapped another late-night host, Stephen Colbert, to write a new Lord of the Rings film. Executives think Kimmel is just what one of American cinema's most revered properties needs.

I was expecting Star Wars, but this really could work.

So we’ve got this, Colbert writing a script for a new Lord of the Rings, I guess Fallon is about to announce he’s writing a script for a new Jaws movie.

They could give me $10,000 to go see Jimmy Kimmel‘s movie and I would tell them to kiss my arse.

if liking The Godfather is the only criteria that makes someone
perfect" for writing it, then there's a few million people that fit the bill.
