I really like that idea Enzo, the only thing they would have to do would be to find a whole new family for the flashbacks. They could have De Niro still be Vito but they would need at least 4 young talented actors to be young Michael, Sonny, Fredo, and Connie.
The other tough part would be convinvcing Pacino, De Niro, and Shire to all come back one more time. I know Andy Garcia has expressed interest in a fourth Godfather but he cant do it all alone.
Bobby DeNiro might be a stretch to do Vito again, since he's about 60, and we'd be seeing Vito from the ages of about 35-47 or thereabouts. But a good makeup artist and DeNiro's acting chops could make it work...
Here are some casting thoughts I just had... Don't ask where some of them came from ...
(in case you can't guess, I've been watching The Sopranos lately)
Of course, we're assuming that 1) money and 2) ego will not interfere with things! (LOL)

Younger Clemenza (late 30s/40s):

Younger Sonny Corleone (20s-30s) and Santino Corleone, Jr. in the 1980s/1990s sequence:
Hey, what the hell....??
