Whatever happens, I sure as hell will pay my tickets to see Part IV, but it's still worrisome that the Corleone legacy could be ruined...

Sadly, these movie studios don't have that same analysis of thinking. The way the see it, a new movie with the legendary Godfather label attached to it would be a huge money-maker. And they're absolutely right. Even if their is noone from the original working on it and even if it is a medicore film, many of us hardcore fans will be the first waiting in line.

I also read about it. To be honest I do not know how I feel anout it : On one hand I miss the Corleones and Michael most of all, On the other hand it won't be Puzo who shall write it. They will have to be very carefull not to make a fiasco out of it (just look at Gone with the Wind #2

i would love to see 1 but fear greatly that it would ruin the whole trilogy aspect. i'd rather see a book made than a fresh film due to the fact that books dont flop as much as films do as they arnt hyped up as much. so keep it to a book at first and take it from there depending on the success. also, why keep it to the godfather plot? why not make a whole new epic based on an entire different story family etc...

just a thought

I agree that if GFIV does come into development that the story should definitely revolve around the character of Sonny. I have always been fascinated by Sonny and feel his influence on the Corleone family was undermined in the previous movies, but hinted at by the fact that they made his illigitimate son the new Godfater in GFIII. However, we must remember that if they do a story about him, they will have to reflect up until he died which means it will come across the same time as the first movie. When that happens they will have to use different characters to play michael, fredo, vito, etc. and I dont know how well any of us will be able to take that.

Why do many of you have something against DiCaprio? Believe it or not, HE CAN ACT! Even in serious films! Just because he hasn't done this particular type of film before doesnt leave him any less credible than anyone else. Don't look down upon him because of his involvement in so many 'chic flics' as he might surprise all of you in a GF4...

Who would have thought Tom Hanks could be a Mafioso!

Italian Alex ROcco plays Jewish Moe Greene

Jewish Abe Vigoda plays Sicilian Tessio

DiCaprio is awesome, i just dont see him as a Corleone! or a WestSide Gangsta! Keep to your class!

DeNiro doesnt have a class! He'll do anything he's interested in.

Personall, i have seen him play...a Don of a Sicilian Family (Vito)...an Irish Associate of a Mafia Family (Jimmy)...a Casino Owner (Ace)...The Devil (Lucifer)...A Boxer (LaMotta)...a Vietnam Vet (Michael)...a Street Hood (JohnnyBoy)...A Romantic bus passenger (Falling In Love)...a Spanish Missionary...an overprotective father (Meet The Parents)...A Hotshot Cop (Eddie)...A Bandleader (NY,NY)...Al Capone (Untouchables)...A Rapist (Max)...a Drug Addict Ex-Con (Jackie Brown)...A Goofy Mob Boss (Vitti)...A Confused Drug Addict (Noodles)...

And a Bunch of other stuff!

I think DeNiro can still be involved! How bout we have THREE Differetn Actors wina Grammy for playing the same character!

Joe Pesci (Best Supporting Actor) LOL

Here's a F*ckin offer you can't refuse, you muddaf*ckin Jagoff!

I love all three movies, and would be interested in seeing another one. Instead of Decaprio as a young Sonny How about Michel Imperioli (Christopher on the Sopranos)He has the young tough guy look and attitude, and he even has the hair.

But even more than another GF movie, which I agree could do harm to the legacy overall I would really like to see some of Puzos other books brought to the big screen like The Family I loved that book too.
