Prequel to 2007's American Gangster
editThe IMDB description lists this series as a prequel to the 2007 film. Other source: https://www.harlemworldmagazine.com/american-gangster-prequel-series-godfather-harlem-forest-whitaker-development/
It's not a prequel, here is what Chris Brancato (the series creator) said: "I wrote a film about Bumpy Johnson years ago (...) and I wanted to tell his story at that time, during the civil rights movement. Show how it changed him. I realised during the writing process that, in fact, Bumpy Johnson was also a character at the beginning of the American Gangster movie. So if you want, we can see it like that, like a prequel to American Gangster." ( http://www.premiere.fr/Series/News-Series/Godfather-of-Harlem-Cest-un-peu-un-prequel-dAmerican-Gangster ) It's "kinda", "if you want"... It's not officially connected to American Gangster, so it shouldn't be considered as a prequel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.238.146.187 (talk) 17:19, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
