You're trying to take an essential yet VERY MINOR character in GF and trying to build a story around him to validate a sequel of a sequel of a sequel. It would not work with Brasi anymore than it would work with Al Neri, who had quite a colorful background of his own in the GF novel.

We already had an 'engaging look' at the fall of The Corleone Family. It was called GF/GFII. Michael may have strived somewhat to bring it back in GFIII, but the death of Mary was a MESSAGE...you get it? A MESSAGE!!!

Fine, then go make a movie about the real history of the mafia, or better yet create a new fictional one because the story of the Corleone Empire is OVER. It died when the last of Vito Corleone's sons died. It is not about the capos, the bodyguards, the buttonmen. It was about the Corleone Family and it's OVER.
