Production company
In 2008, Garibaldi formed a production company under the name of Godfather Entertainment, with its mission being making movies in the $20 million range.[2]
The first film to be developed was The Party, a remake of The Party with Peter Sellers. Projects to follow were Last Chance Motel and The Vault. Last Chance Motel is a psychological thriller in partnership with Avi Lerner's Nu Image Films, while The Vault is a mob movie written by Alex Merkin and Jesse Mittelstadt.[3][4]
As of 2014, no films have been released under the Godfather Entertainment banner.
Relationship with Presley
Garibaldi met Presley in 1984 when a mutual friend recommended Garibaldi as a potential screenwriter for a project.[5] That same year, Garibaldi and Presley moved in together and continued to live together in Los Angeles until 2006. The two never married, but had son Navarone Garibaldi in 1987.[6] In 1988, Presley stated, "We've both been married before and we both feel that a marriage contract doesn't make it any better or worse. Marriage is somewhat of a business, and as of now our relationship is not a business."[5]
Garibaldi was the one who first introduced Vince Neil to Presley. Garibaldi was doing business with Neil when Garibaldi invited Neil to his home. Presley eventually let Neil move into the couple's chauffeur’s quarters when he was "in between wives - and homes."[7]
His relationship with Presley ended in 2006.
