It can probably be assumed that Michael Corleone is a broken man once his daughter is murdered. Therefore there would be little if anything of interest to be illustrated in his 'exile to Sicily'.

Apple [/b][/quote]Agreed, which is why Michael would play a secondary part in this film. I agree that that in itself is blasphemy, but I still think his role would be important. When Michael finds out that Anthony has become part of the family business, he is kind of forced to give advice to protect him.

After all, Michael will do anything to "protect his family" even if it means becoming the Corleone family's consigliere in one way or another.

And there are obviously still a lot of other details to work out.

But I knew I could count on a cynical & skeptical opinion from you, Apple!
