Well, let me reframe it: The actors shouldn't be too old.
John Turturro is already 41. So he couldn't really play the young Michael in GF1. Gabriel Byrne is even 58!

I also thought about Brad Pitt as Tom. But I don't find him intellectual enough.

John Turturro is 51. A year older than Al pacino was in Part III.

I do like Mike Imperioli for Paulie Gatto. He's got that weasel look to him. Maybe it's his nose. lol

I think Michael Richards would be better as Don Zaluchi.

You desecrated a classic film. This is worse than "Godfather III."

All right, all right, I'm sorry.

BB, I knew Richard Thomas wasn't right, but I couldn't think of his name. Michael Richards - thanks. Richard Thomas was John Boy on The Waltons lol Maybe he could be Tom Hagen?

You're right. I guess I was thinking of Byrne and Turturro circa 1990.

OK, how about...

Michael: Christian Bale

Tom: ???

Sollozzo: Vincent Gallo

Carlo: Ryan Phillippe

I wouldn't have Christian Bale as Michael.

He's not even Italian?

I'm in full agreement with this.

I refuse to even allow such thoughts about current stars in the Godfather, as it's a fear of mine that Hollywood will somehow find out and say "Hay that's a great idea, lets remake the Godfather" panic

I see all of you have forgotten to cast Manolo the Gardener





He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!"

So what’s the labyrinth?

That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?
