Loved Armand Assante as Gotti, but it was a pretty glorified portayal of Gotti. Tom Sizemore had a much more gritty and unsympathetic Gotti. The truth is prob somewhere in the middle.

I loved Assante as Gotti, but I'm willing to give Travolta a chance in this movie, which will be a lot different in that it will also focus on the father/son angle. Something that didn't get touched in Assante's Gotti, the Junior Gotti character didn't even play a part in that movie..
Re: Exclusive: New Gotti film cast members revealed - 07/28/1611:04 PM
hello Billy, lets see if jr tells it like it was, i agree with you about having a father son angle now is interesting. looking forward to the production.. hope it shows new insight in the life not just what was done in the other gotti projects, assante was great..

Yeah, I agree Bronx, if Junior sugarcoats everything and doesn't keep it real it will be all worthless.

I agree about Assante and Sizemore. Too bad Sizemore was wasted in an otherwise dismal movie, "Witness to the Mob."
Re: Exclusive: New Gotti film cast members revealed - 07/29/1602:47 AM
Jelly Preston hot as fuck. Assante was the man. Juniors not coming out with anything new, just sugar to coat history. Spin. Who gives a shit. Travolta hasn't had a decent movie since god knows when, doubt he'll start now.
Re: Exclusive: New Gotti film cast members revealed - 07/29/1603:39 AM
I thought tne gotti movie with Assante sucked, it was ridiculous. The one with sizemore was even worse. Thats my opinion though. The pics of travolta with the greying hair look very much like Gotti.
Re: Exclusive: New Gotti film cast members revealed - 07/29/1609:51 AM
I watched Gotti, liked it. Even if it was obviously fiction as far as some things go, it was still an entertaining movie. I never bothered to watch Witness to the mob(mainly because I thought Sizemore can't play Gotti), but seeing your reactions here, I'll give it a shot.
Also, I'll probably watch this movie too, but I don't have high expectations, therefore I doubt I'll be disappointed.

Idk, but he has a nice house. He was stabbed in a parking lot (should've been shot in the head). He provided the government with a list of recent or upcoming inductees. He just fucked many things up. It was a power move by Chin. He saw how bad senior fucked things up for the Gambinos, might as well let it ride with the boy (who isn't full blooded Italian).

Stacy Keach as Dellacroce and Pruitt Taylor V. as Ruggiero, solid actors but I'm very curious if they can play a wiseguy convincingly.
There's an actor named Philip Baker Hall who is a dead giveaway for Neil Dellacroce..whenever i saw him i thought he would b a great neil..now the time has come 4 him 2 show his light,,great actor as well.. first noticed him in boogie nights & said 2 myself "that guy looks exactly like neil dellacroce"..google him, u guys have seen him b-4.
Re: Exclusive: New Gotti film cast members revealed - 07/31/1605:30 AM
Phillip Baker Hall is great, especially in Paul Thomas Anderson's movies. You already mentioned Boogie Nights. See Hard Eight if you haven't. It's hard to find. Not on netflix or anything. Hall played Toddo Aurello in Witness to the Mob.

He played Gambino captain and Gravano mentor Toddo Aurello in Witness to the Mob.
EDIT: Didn't see that Oak already mentioned this..
Re: Exclusive: New Gotti film cast members revealed - 08/06/1605:18 PM
like to see a film of the demeo crew, or how about Thomas lucheese, its always gotti, or bonanno, two dogs who helped in bringing down the mob, bonnano with his revealing books about the commission, and gotti with his out-front swagger,
not the mark of true omerta of bosses anyone could respect.
Re: Exclusive: New Gotti film cast members revealed - 08/06/1609:49 PM
Travolta is not 100% Italian, his Mother is Irish. In interviews he has always said that he identified more with his Irish side.
I personally know a massage guy who used to work at one of the most expensive and exclusive places in NYC.
They had the rules all over the place LEAVE YOUR UNDERWEAR ON. According to this guy none of the staff wanted to go near Travolta. They said he would strip down naked and assume the position as soon as the door was closed.
I wish I could say the guys name. He is the son of a very famous person. You would all know him in a second. But I don't think I should betray his confidence.

Spot on Crusher. I read somewhere that even Junior's brother Fat Pete is involved as one of the producer. Unlike the Goodfellas movie that begins with the line, "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." This movie will begin with, "Once upon a time" and end in "They lived happily ever after"

Some things which may be left out of the movie:
Problems between Gotti and his wife Gotti's philandering Gotti profiting from heroin sales Legendary gambling addiction Let best friend Quack Quack die alone because he talked on wire

If they wanted him dead ,he would be dead.Someone telling him to take a step down was more like it. The list was from his Wedding...Names and amounts...not inductees
Re: Exclusive: New Gotti film cast members revealed - 08/09/1601:08 AM
Quinn said the list, which contained fewer than 100 names, will be of use to state and federal law enforcement officials for years to come in tracking "who is who" and understanding the evolution of mob leadership as "made" members die or are killed. Quinn said the New York crime families limit "made" members to a prescribed number. Some of the names on the list had been crossed off when mobsters died, with the names of new "made" members written in nearby, Quinn said. (From January 1998 bust.)

Am I forgetting anything?
Yeah it definetly will be a fictional account. Junior is involved so I'm sure he will make his father look like Robin Hood. Gotti also had a affair with Sandy Grillo(Neil's daughter) and had a daughter with her.
