The Godfather : Fall of the Corleones - 01/30/03 08:24 AM
I believe that it is a good idea to make a sequel to our so beloved Godfather Trilogy.
Here is my suggestion about the storyline :
I think that it would be very interesting to explore how the mafia has been functioning in the last 10 years. So instead of telling the rise of Vito Corleone and the Fall of Micheal, the fourth book could tell how Vincent holds together the remains of the Corleone "Empire" in the late 90's, leading to the unstoppable fall of the family. MIcheal I think should be dead already and not be part of the fourth book. Neither should there be a funeral scene. In my opinion "Fall of the Corleones" should be set in the year 1994.
This fourth book shall be seen as the beginning of a new era in the Corleone Chronicles. If Book four goes back to the "lost" years of the 1930', it would ruin Parts I and II. I see Part III as an intermezzo to make place for the new "Vincent" era.
To make the new Parts as good as I and II, they must be written in a way to make it interesting for modern people. Not trying to take on the principles and ideas of the original novel.
