Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola has said the possibility to make more sequels in his celebrated film franchise "The Godfather" remains open in case Paramount Pictures wants to have another run at it.

Paramount, the studio which distributes these film series, also teased that another installment in the popular crime drama franchise can be made if the "right story emerges". "There may well be a 'Godfather IV' and V and VI. I don't own 'The Godfather'," Coppola, 81, said, indicating he is not interested in personally directing a sequel to the franchise.
