Pacino may play Mafia type again ZAP2IT.COM
Al Pacino may be getting mobbed up yet again.
The Oscar-winning actor, whose career has been defined by several mobster roles beginning with The Godfather, is in discussions with MGM to star as a Mafia boss in a movie called Don Cornelius, according to the Hollywood Reporter. This time around, though, the mob backdrop is played for laughs.
The story centers on an accountant with an everyday suburban life. He's thrust into the world of organized crime after his biological father (the role earmarked for Pacino), a New York mob boss, becomes the target of a hit.
No offer has been made to Pacino yet; the studio and his agents are reportedly at odds over his fee.
In addition to the Godfather trilogy, Pacino has played criminal types in Scarface, Carlito's Way and Donnie Brasco. He has a cameo in the forthcoming Gigli, starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, and will star in HBO's Angels in America later this year.
Nick Guthe wrote the script for Don Cornelius, which apparently has no connection with the longtime Soul Train host. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Tierre Turner are on board as producers, along with Tollin/Robbins Productions.
While this role might not be large, it would still be nice to see Pacino reprise his godfather role. I have to say Pacino looked just as cool as De Niro did in Heat, in the upcoming Gigli. To bad we want see him shoot Affleck, since the ending has been changed.

I don't see him doing this movie. Just not his style, unless they make him an offer he can't refuse. Originally posted by Nick. V:

There's only one thing I hate in this world, and it's liars.

well we all know theres most likely going to be another godfather film.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

They will most likely NOT make a GFIV. When Puzo died it diminished its chances. Plus I didnt want another GF movie. And also, if they were to make a GFIV, Pacino would not be in it.
I buy you out. You don't buy me out.
