THE ARTISTIC INTEGRITY OF AL PACINO | Ft: Lawrence Grobel | the Artists with Suchita #clip #shorts

Korea, he said to me when they wanted to do the next Godfather, Godfather 2, you know, he went into a meeting with Paramount executives and he got paid, by the way, $50,000 to the first Godfather.

And the second Godfather, so they came in and he didn't know he was going to do a second one, you know, and they had an attache case on the desk and it was a bag, you know, and they opened it up and it was full of money.

It was like a...

It was a million dollars or something.

And he just walked away from it.

He says, no, no.

He just didn't want to say yes to it unless the script was right.

You know, if it was something he felt he could do.

Some actors will do anything, you know, a good part.

With him, he was now, right from the beginning, he was choosy.

He'll get choosy later on.

I think some of his last movies have not been very good.

but he's done those for money.

And we can talk about that, you know, but when you get offered a lot of money to do a silly movie without Adam Sandler, you know, you take the money, but, but, you know, but to jump around, there was a movie that happened.

I was once offered $17 million to do a movie.

And he said, but he says, I don't know the script.

It's not that good.

So I said to him at that time, do the movie without even seeing the script.

I said, just do the movie.

It'll be forgotten.

And that's a big chunk of money.
