Sorvino is too old to play Clemenza,likewise for Buscemi(although the two would be fantastic). Vin Diesel as Luca? Put Keanu Reeves in there as well. The worst actors in history! What made the Godfather so great was the acting ability of the entire cast. They were all connected to the NY Sicilian scene, so they were able to live the roles. Charlize Theron as Kaye? She's too hot. Kaye was a plain Jane, Charlize is too sexual and too old. Kirsten Dunst might be a better fit. The problem with casting these roles as younger than before, is that there aren't any kids out there who could pull it off. You would have to go back a generation or two. If not, you HAVE TO find a way to bring De Niro back in to the fold, and maybe James Gandolfini and some of the cast of the Sopranos. God I hate Andy Garcia in this series.
Kirsten Dunst? The Blonde Cheerleader? To Quote: Dumb Blondes...Hello! Duh!
I LOVE Kirsten, but she's NOT Godfather material, LET alone Kay Adams!
Why can't Diane Keaton play Kay?
