Earlier someone suggested Queen Latifah as Aspinella Washington. I would actually like to see Angela Bassett (Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do With It?) in this role. She is a great actress, and seems physically fit for the part.

I'd like to see Andy Garcia in the role of Astorre Viola. I think that Marcantonio and Valerius Aprile should be played by actors who aren't big names, since they're not important to the story.

Like I mentioned earlier, I think that the actress from "King of Queens" should be cast as Nicole Aprile if she can pull off the acting. I've never seen her in anything but comedies, so I guess we'd have to wait and see.

Cilke should be played by Robert Patrick (the bad terminator in T2). Don Raymonde Aprile should be played by Pacino.
