I just read on aintitcool.com that they're making a movie called The Borgias. I don't think it will be based totally on Puzo's novel, but, well, it's about the Borgias!

http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=11570 Thats the address. It's under Elston Gunn's weekly recap, about half way down.

Grazie, Pete!
Here's the blurb in question:
"Neil Jordan will direct the historical drama BORGIA about the infamously corrupt Spanish Borgia family. The project will focus on the greed, ruthlessness and nepotism of the family under Pope Alexander VI and their running the 16th century Vatican as a crime syndicate. Eventuall, it tears them apart. Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey will produce through their Imagemovers shingle along with Stephen Woolley. Production may begin by late summer."

is it related to the novel, like are they taking material from it?

Hey I haven't read The Family yet, so I hadn't noticed that it was about the Borgias. I have read Machiavelli's The Prince, and it is about the Cardinal Spada, the Borgias' advisor. It is set in Florence, right?
"It is no secret that organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year. This is quite a profitable sum, especially when one considers that the Mafia spends very little for office supplies." -Woody Allen

The IMDb says that Ewan McGregor will play Cesare Borgia and Christina Ricci will play Lucrezia Borgia. Ewan McGregor has proved himself to be a good actor in Trainspotting and Black Hawk Down and Christina Ricci...well, she's cool.
