Robert DeNiro


altough, Sofia Coppola might be nice too: a young, talented and critically acclaimed director who is as inside to The Godfather as DeNiro is (starred in the previous three)

Coppola always made it a family affair. Maybe Nicolas Cage (his nephew) could be in too. He has made a movie for Spike Jonze, Sofia's husband...now that I say that, Sofia probably arranged the deal for Spike and Nic... oh anyway, Nic's last picture was directed by Ridley Scott, hey could do it.

My personal favorites as directors are David Fincher, Bryan Singer, Chris Nolan; neo-noir directors.


But more obvious choices would be Martin Scorsese, David Chase (Sopranos) and Quentin Tarantino. Or Nora Ephron who used a lot of The Godfather in her romcom You've Got Mail. Harold Ramis spoofed The Godfather in Analyze This. Those two know the movie just as well as Tarantino or Scorsese probably do. Am I getting off track here?
