Cheers Turi, very encouraging as thats my main goal in life to become a film director/script writer... Anyway, this was an ending I suddenly thought up after writing my outline for college on a GF4. The basic storyline was cut between (like GF2) modern day Vincent and old school Sonny, Vito etc...
Anyroad, the Vincent storyline goes something like Vincent has acheived total legitimacey etc etc, but is offered a way back into narcotics and organised crime. This big time guy (not quite sure who) tells Vincent to ring him with his answer. "I want your answrer by noon tomorrow" sort of speak.... A bit cheesy I know, but I've got this scene so visually played out in my mind I just had to write it...
So, Vincent ain't quite sure what to do... Should he drag his Family back into the world Mike tried to escape for so long? Anyway one day after watching Casino the night before, I simply felt that this was just such a perfect ending for a GF4, as the viewer will never know which way Vincent is going to go. People would think that if Vincent said 'no', then that eould be the final end to everything. But if he says 'yes', then whole cycle will start again... A 'quiet, moving and thoughtful cliff hanger'...
Anyway, as
Mario Puzo once said "I just sat down writing it"... I might go back and finish the rest of the script for the modern day story, as I absolutely hate adapting other people work, as you are always limited to your creativity... It's like, if I ever become a film director, I really wouldn't like to make a film based on a screenplay that wasn't mine, I just wouldn't know where to begin...
