if Omerta was to be turned into a movie, then i would see:
marc anthony as astorre laura san giacomo as nicole queen latifa as the bad cop johnny depp as cilke
any other suggestions?

Boy Mike, you sure like that Laura San Giacomo. Personally, I can't stand her on Just Shoot Me or any of those movies she's done. As for casting her as Nicole, I would be more disgusted than I was when I saw Sofia Coppola in GFIII. I really don't find either one that attractive, and I don't care for thier acting either. That's my opinion.

johnny dep and de niro in the same movie? that would be awesome. if you would add pacino it could either make it or break it, maybe too much of a good thing is bad in that situation.

I'd put Ralph Macchio as Cilke definately.

Johnny Depp would work really well as Astorre, and I thought that the chemistry between him and Annne Hecht in Donnie Brasco was good, so I think she'd do well as Nicole. I may have gotten the characters mixed up here, I haven't read the book for awhile. Nicole was the girl that had a thing with Astorre when they were kids right?

If I'm remembering right Rosie was his school girl thing, but Nicole is the daughter of the guy who took Astorre in.

There is no real sister. Nicole is kind of his stepsister because she was daughter of Don Aprile, who took him in. Rosie was the girl he meet in London while learning the banking business

Cheers Is Marlon Brando italian? And if you knew anything about the book, you would know that Nicole was half-italian. If Cameron Diaz can't play an italian, how come she's starring in Scorsece's new mafia movie?

Where is Cameron Diaz from? I've always wondered. Someone told me once she was Polish but I don't think that's right.

I know that Brando is not italian, but what I meant is that I can't imagine Cameron Diaz as Nicole, perhaps she could be Rosie.
"Diaz" is a spanish last name, but I don't know where her roots are from.

I'm 3 chapters into the book, use your SPOLER warning, please.
But, Nicole, Marcantonio, Verius(sp?) are sons and daughter of Raymonde Aprile. Astorre Viola sis on of Vincenzo Zeno/later Frank Viola/then Don Aprile.
When they were teenagers Nicole/Astorre had a *fling*. They made love, YES, they made love. I can't believe they kill Aprile! He was a little too Vito Corleone tho, if you ask me.
I haven't made it to Rosie or Aspinella yet.
Are Heskows and Sturzos big characters? Tommoro Pintella?

I, too don't think that Diaz could play an italian, while brando was made too look italian because as Coppolla an Puzo saw it, he was the only actor who had the on screen prescence to play Vito. I think, probably a few people could play Nicole as well as Diaz, plus her look is too American.
Also, i think that Scorcesi's new movie, if your talking about Gangs of New York, isn't actually a Mafia movie.

I'd like to see Andy Garcia in the role of Astorre Viola. I think that Marcantonio and Valerius Aprile should be played by actors who aren't big names, since they're not important to the story.
Like I mentioned earlier, I think that the actress from "King of Queens" should be cast as Nicole Aprile if she can pull off the acting. I've never seen her in anything but comedies, so I guess we'd have to wait and see.
Cilke should be played by Robert Patrick (the bad terminator in T2). Don Raymonde Aprile should be played by Pacino. i imagined storre as Garcia the WHOLE book lol.! If nopt Garcia could play a bit part, a sCorleone on Michael Grazziella. DeNiro or Pesci? Caan or Duvall? anywhere possibly? What about Portella? Marcantonio could be Marc Antony! lol

How about Marlon Brando as Portella or even Raymonde?
Anyways, I was also imagined Garcia throughout the book and Astorre. Robert patrick is an excellent choice as Cilke. Angela Basset or even Halle Berry would be a good choice for Aspinella Washington.

I haven't read Omerta in a while, but I thought Don Aprile was old and over weight. Same with Portella. If so, Brando fits the bill.

Don Raymonde Aprile – Marlon Brando Don Vincenzo Zeno – Robert DeNiro Mr. Pryor – Robert Duvall Octavius Bianco – Al Pacino Astorre Viola – Edward Norton (cool yet dangerous/flexible talent/needs to have green contact lenses though, lol) Aldo Monza – Antonio Banderas (if you saw Assassin, you know why I chose him) Don Craxxi – Joe Mantegna (originally from Chicago) Kurt Cilke – Johnny Depp (just phenomenal as a cop/also amazing when temperamental) Nicole – Catherine Zeta Jones or Salma Hayek Rosie – Winona Ryder (gorgeous and can be dangerous = The Crucible meets Heathers ) Georgette Cilke – Cameron Diaz Aspinella Washington – Halle Berry Marianno Rubio – Andy Garcia Timmona Portella – Gastone Moschin (aka. Fanucci/hefty and dangerous) Sturzo (Franky and Stace) brothers – Twins killed in Godfather III John Heskow – Ralph Fiennes (for his German look/see him as Amon Goeth in Schindlers List) Inzio Tulippa – Ed Harris Director - FFC or Martin Scorcese I just wish Miramax would be smart enough to cast my choices (or complete the film), hehehe. Anymore suggestions/comments?

That's gonna be one hell of a budget needed for that film, it's got practically every actor from every mafia film ever made Also i think Venus Williams for Aspinella Washington.
