The DiCaprio issue aside , I agree with you as far as no Pacino/DeNiro/Duvall, and yea, I wonder about the author as well. All of us want it to be good, but realistically, I'd be happy if at worst, it turned out to be a very good movie. I think to expect another film as spectacular as the first two is stretching it, as much as I'd love to see it. Then again, you never know..it could happen. I'd rather see it not made at all than to be a real "bomb". Wouldn't you?
