Yes 1-Paramount Pictures wants to make GF4 with or without Francis Ford Coppola. 2-There is a scrpit written by Mario Puzo in PP 3-Al Pacino told Coppola he would do whatever he wants him to do(Talking about a possible GF4) 4-Andy García wants a GF4 5- Mario Puzo obviously wanted a GF4 that`s why he sent the GF4 script to Paramount Pictures.

Sí, de hecho podes averiguar in Internet y Francis Ford Coppola cuenta de que se trata en el comentario del DVD en GF3, La historia se dividiría en 2 como GF2 tiempo pasado y presente, en el pasado contaría la historia de Sonny joven, quien se dice que lo interpretaría Leo di Caprio, ya que está interesado, contaría como empieza su carrera criminal, todo lo que dice el libro de Mario Puzo y en el presente a Vincent obviamente Andy García, quien se mete en el negocio de las drogas, cocaína, específicamente, y se cumpliría las palabras de Vito Corleone, que las drogas seran la ruina, la película sería principalmente la caída del imperio Corleone, ya que en esta época todos los Bosses han caído, en la película seguro lo harán, ya que siempre mezclan realidad con ficción, o sea, Vincent llevará la familia a la ruina por su falta de inteligencia y sus negocios con las drogas.

Actually, Leonardo Dicaprio would NOT be a bad choice for a young Sonny. He's a pretty damn good actor.

I really don`t know about a GF4.. I would love the see the GF franchise to peak again, movie+game... something for the younger people to enjoy as they weren`t there when it all started (like myself). But i`m really worried they f*ck it up and ruine the GF story all together. If it`s they same quality as the orginal GF movie it would be really fantastic, but i`m worried it`s going to be too much "hollywood".. maybe too over the top and ridiculous. Let`s see what happens, I believe the new book (GF Returns) and the new videogame are building up to something bigger

GF4 without F.F.C. is nothing. GF4 without Pacino is nothing. And putting Garcia would be nice.
You were right about one thing. I have been watching. Couldn't help myself. Watching, waiting, holding my breath. But I'm no puppeteer Kevin, I don't make things happen. Doesn't work like that. Free will, it's like butterfly wings, one touch and it never gets off the ground. I only set the stage. You pull your own strings.

Al Pacino is supposed to appear in GF IV before he dies, and the GF IV scripts are already written I doesn`t mind if Mario Puzo died, because he left GF 4. Of course, GF 4 must be the last movie, if you want a GF 5, well, it would be trash, and I don`t think Mario Puzo wrote the script hahaha. Of course in that case any hope is dead, but GF 4 should be made. If the scripts are written there is no discussion, Al Pacino said he would appear, so, I don`t see any problem.

The Godfather 4 script (what i heard) was 1980-1997, where vincent takes the family into the drug business. and get into a lot of trouble, also he asks michael for help to restore the family back to its potential before he dies 1997. also they show sonny growing up (should be Scott Caan - James Caan Son - not Leo ---my choice) also Vincent has a son Dominic with that reporter Grace Hamilton. They said it was supposed to work out that the boy was 20 when michael dies. michael stands as godfather. and teaches the boy the family biz. (i have to find the link where i read that.)
my opinion: i think they should introduce salvatore brasi - the grandson of luca brasi. played by vin diesel.

First of all----Don Andrew its a movie - how do you know he didnt get the girl he was banging from Bruno Tattalgia's night club pregnant - he got killed shortly after.
second of all its a movie - and you can be godfather to many children nowadays, so chill out.
and third vin diesel is not that bad of an actor - my opinion - yours i dont care about.
so lets make nice nice.
Scott Caan as a young Santino Corleone. not Leo

Toni_corleone is right, it wouldn't happen. Why? Because Luca Brasi is a minor, supporting character in the Corleone saga and as interesting as he is as an appendage to the MAIN story, not worth bringing his fabricated offspring just for the sake of stretching to ridiculous lengths a classic story which has ENDED. It is not a movie. And if it were, it would be a bad one. NO PART FOUR NO PART FOUR NO PART FOUR NO PART FOUR Apple

I'm starting to side with Apple on all things concerning Part IV. I've actually known it all long, but it took her to bring it to light for me. It's still fun to think about future storylines, but it would be an impossible task to make a Part IV work and have it feel like a Godfather movie.
Like Apple has said, after Mary's death, Michael Corleone is a shell of his former self. I can see him becoming catatonic and barely being functional. He now needs help to go to the bathroom. If the silent scream taught us anything, it's that Michael Corleone died there on the steps even though his heart is still "beating." So there goes the possibility of making a Part IV about him, unless you like lots diaper changing.
So any Part IV would have to place Michael in a supporting role, if in a role at all. I feel that a Part IV would have to involve Vincent because he controls the family and if Michael Corleone was the focus point of the trilogy, a part IV would have to focus on the person he made head of the family, which is Vincent. He's basically become Michael and will face a lot of the same things Michael faced when he was running the show.
We've seen the rise to power, the glory days of Vito and the gang in Part II -- and like Apple said, making a Part IV with minor characters in major roles is grasping at paper straws. Vincent is now the Don, like it or not, and any furtherment of the story would have to be around him.
I originally liked the idea about flashbacks to younger Sonny, just like young Vito in Part II -- but this would take away from the movie. Part IV needs to be about Vincent and the last remains of the Corleone family. Do they succeed or fail. And how do the characters change? Sure there can be references to Sonny, but they would be better served in dialogue instead of flashbacks.
So there you have it, IMO. Part IV involves Vincent -- without flashbacks to a young Sonny. When Anthony falls into the family life, the final nail is sealed on the Corleone coffin. Family business destroys the family. I know that theme has been used before, but I think it would be fitting here.

Originally posted by PaulyWalnuts: No one here implied Luca was the focal point of the stories but that doesnt mean a Capo or soldari with the last name Brasi or knowledge of his father with the whores last name. You're trying to take an essential yet VERY MINOR character in GF and trying to build a story around him to validate a sequel of a sequel of a sequel. It would not work with Brasi anymore than it would work with Al Neri, who had quite a colorful background of his own in the GF novel. Originally posted by PaulyWalnuts: I think that GF4 could be an engaging look at the fall of americas most prominent family. We already had an 'engaging look' at the fall of The Corleone Family. It was called GF/GFII. Michael may have strived somewhat to bring it back in GFIII, but the death of Mary was a MESSAGE...you get it? A MESSAGE!!! Originally posted by PaulyWalnuts: If you go back and read some of the real history of the mafia i think it offers endless storylines... Fine, then go make a movie about the real history of the mafia, or better yet create a new fictional one because the story of the Corleone Empire is OVER. It died when the last of Vito Corleone's sons died. It is not about the capos, the bodyguards, the buttonmen. It was about the Corleone Family and it's OVER. Best, AppleOnYa

Maybe some people didn't hear me the first time I said it so here goes again: I have nothing on which to base this on and I'm sorry to those who want a Part IV (I used to be in this group) but I just don't think it will be done. When Mario Puzo (R.I.P.) died any legitimate hope of a Godfather IV died with him. Unless F.F.C. teams up with like Martin Scorcese and/or Bryan Singer and Christopher McQuarrie (or some other extremely talented director/screenwriter Tarantino or Spielberg or De Palma for example) The Godfather Part IV without Al Pacino would be a disaster. I am not sure if I would want Al Pacino in GF4. I do think that they should take a similar approach as in GF1. Less known GOOD actors to make GF4. Andy Garcia stays and could be the Marlon Brando status of the film as far as "Well known actor" - not equating him to Brando except that he is well known.

I think what fascinates people with the idea of making a godfather 4, is the simple fact that it would be better than most of the crap that's churned out right now. For God's sakes they gives us Ocean's 11-2011 but they can't figure out a Godfather 4?!!!

Part III takes a lot of heat and I don't even think it was that bad. Yeah, compared to perfection even good movies feel flawed, and that's what happened to Part III. But the difference between the GF and the Ocean's movies is that all the characters are still alive. That series never had what was supposed to be the definitive end to the series like the GF had. So it doesn't feel like much of a stretch when they make an Ocean's sequel or a sequel to any other Hollywood franchise nowadays?

I have always wanted a Godfather part 4 and probably always will. However with the actor who played Al Neri now dead, I believe making this movie would be like starting from scratch with just Vincent as the main character. Also with storyline from GF3 as well as the length of time in between GF2 and GF3 it makes part 4 very difficult. I always wanted them to bring back Frank and Santino jr. as well as Victor and Micheal Rizzi, but where they in GF3? If they want to do more for the Godfather franchise they might consider taking the approach the Star Wars franchise did and perhaps telling old stories. Maybe stories about Vito's father and then Sonny. More than anything they ought to do a movie about the Lost Years between parts 2 and 3.
