It's been almost 50 years since the very first chapter of The Godfather saga began.
But on Thursday, cast and crew of the legendary gangster series reunited at the iconic Dakota apartment building in New York City.
Director Francis Ford Coppola along with stars Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall were pictured in front of the building alongside a slew of A-list stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, and Darren Aronofsky.
