Bad Blood Coming to TV This Summer
Bad Blood: The Vito Rizzuto Story That's the title of a "limited event" television series debuting on FX this summer. It consists of six 60-minute episodes. "Inspired by reputed mobster Vito Rizzuto," the show stars Anthony LaPaglia (Analyze This sequel Analyze That ) as Vito Rizzuto and Paul Sorvino from Goodfellas as Nico (Nicolo) Rizzuto, Vito's father. Bad Blood was filmed in Montreal and Sudbury, the largest city in Northern Ontario, Canada. The story used as its source the best-selling book by Antonio Nicaso and Peter Edwards, Business or Blood: Mafia Boss Vito Rizzuto’s Last War . ( Business would've benefited from a more-vigorous fact-check; The Sixth Family by Adrian Humphreys and Lee Lamothe is the book about the Rizzutos, with landmark research. Another good book is Andre Cedillot's Mafia Inc.: The Long, Bloody Reign of Canada's Sicilian Clan .)
