I think it'd be a cool idea, but Francis Fords not getting any younger, and no one in there right mind would want to direct such a classic as the Godfather Part 1

I think if you are going to do a GF4.....you need to make sure that you explain what happened from after Mary's death till Michaels death....Vincents reign of the family, and so on.
That would be hard to do with everyone being soo old now. What makes the GF movies soo great is the settings.....back in the 50's, 60's...the era probably could not be recreated. It would not work in the 2000 era.
I say go back and show us Sonny, Fredo and Michael as kids, experiencing life as a Corleone......show us how they interacted, Sonny's temper, Fredo's wussiness, and Michael defiance. Show us what it was like when Vito was the king.....of course, it would be hard to portray him, but they have done more than that with movies, so it could be done. Maybe have Michael on that chair at the end of GF3, sitting back thinking of his brothers, and their time together.....and maybe when he thinks of Fredo, and killing him.....that is when he drops dead.
Whatcha think???

NO.

We already know all of that, from GF and GFII. There's no need to tell a 'fill-in' story of the Corleone sons as boys and what made them the men the became (and didn't become).
Who cares? The important parts of the story have been told, and told extremely well.

It would be like cutting a big hole into the middle of a luscious cake, filling it in with paper napkins and then icing over it to make it look as nice as before. Somebody cuts in expecting a yummy treat...and gets nothing but paper and air.

Basically, you'd be ruining the cake.

Leave it alone; and let the fans use their own imaginations (if they have any) to figure out every little detail that wasn't wasn't put on the screen.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like that on the screen but I agree with Apple that they should just leave it alone. I'm sure they'd screw it up and we don't want to think of The Godfather TRILOGY as a piece of sh*t. Plus, they'd have to probably cast Ben Affleck or Jennifer Lopez just to give it that last little bit of studio execs "we think it's a good ideas but all the fans know it'll suck" feeling

I think that would be a great fuckin movie idea. And look at Pacino now-a-days, hes still got the look thats possible for the role of Michael Corleone. But, the one question is, you need 165 other minutes to make a great movie. You got the beginning and end 10 down pat real well though.

Apple.....you need to relax....it is just a thread about a "what if", they would never do a remake or a 4th GF. I am just saying what "I" would like to see in the movie.....just my opinion.

-----------------------------
That's going to be one GREAT Godfather Remake!!!

Remaking the godfather is assinine.

A movie that fills in the gaps might work.

I agree, he co-starred with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner in the highly successful 1984 action adventure film, Romancing the Stone, I enjoyed that so in some respect, I wouldn't mind him as Don Corleone.
