...the rumour: part four continues the tragic downfall of the once mighty corleone family with vincent mancini/corleone taking over operations from michael but getting into all kinds of nasty, and ultimately fatal, trouble in the drug trade. also there's a sub-story involving the bloody adventures of sonny corleone in his youth much like part two gave us the vito corleone story culminating in his killing of fanucci (we all have our fanucci's in life, do we not?) thus crowning him a "man of respect" in his neighbourhood.

possible conflict idea: vincent, an untested don swimming amidst mafia sharks fiercely loyal to michael and before him his father vito, must fight for control against michael's son and his group (a true blood corleone directly descended from the great don michael), his son realizing there is far too much power and wealth for him to forsake the familiy business to be an artist. perhaps a more recognizable actor to portray this pivotal part.

ben affleck as young sonny? yes, i think so. perfect casting. bring back pacino as michael of course. francis ford coppolla presents...a michael mann picture...4!
