FFC almost did not want to do part 3 and they were goin to have quintin Tarantino direct it until FFC gave in and did it. Wow that would have been a mess..........or would it?...........

It woulda ruined it. Reevoir Dogs is not the godfather and thats forsure.

I never heard that and I don't know where you've heard it but it doesn't sound likely Tarantino would have ever been considered for Part III. Especially in 1990 when he wasn't even known to anyone.

well he was known to the Coppallas. He and Sofia are dating.

Not in 90 they werent^^^^

Has some kind of time machine been put into use on this thread?

So.........they are going out now.

What does that have to do with weither or not QT and the Copplas knew each other in 1990?Nevermind,this is getting pointless......

I think the problem all along was Paramount Pictures. They almost screwed the first one all up, then they wanted to go cheap on Part III.

Part III wasn't the best, but a chef can only cook with the ingredients they have. Not having the budget for Duvall hurt more than anything.

YEAH, Tarantino.....it would have been more like Pulp Fiction----but in 1990 he was still an unknown...

I can just see the Tarantino version now...

"What does my house look like to you, dead mobster storage?"

Sonny to Carlo: "I'm about to get medieval on your ass!"

Whille the first two GF's were very successfull why didn't the exec's at Paramount not give FFC a bigger budget?

I can't believe someone said Tarantino was nearly Director of GF3, a mean in 1990 QT wouldn't have been long finished workin on the Dolph Lundgren work out video, oh yes. The guy hadn't even made Reservoir Dogs at the time.

Wow, I never knew Tarantino was going to direct GF3!! I think he defintely would have made a mess of things. He should stick to his Kill Bill movies (which I liked) but as director of a GF film? Or any other film that doesn't have Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman sword fighting? I think not.

though i think tarantino is a great director, he would not be able to handle the godfather part 3. and obviously because he would turn it into a bit bloodthirsty movie. and the godfather trilogy was always about something other then violence. while there are plenty of violent scenes, the movie was always more about the family issues that mike and vito had to go through. i mean would we really want to see all of the corleone botton men dressed in black suits a la pulp fiction and reservoir dogs. would you really want mike talking to kay during their lunch in sicily about pop culture. mike- you know im fucking glad disco is fucking dying. those motherfuckers killing our airwaves with that motherfucking shit.
kay- fucking a.

just doesnt sound like them
