Well, they talk a lot about Lucy Mancini, Johnny Fontane, Nino Valenti, a scene where Sonny robs a bank and his father explodes,Luca Brasi and his child, and much more. I don't think a new writer should write the Godfather 4 book but I think everything that wasn't included from the Godfather one-three should be included in four because it is a way to ensure that Mario Puzo's excellence lives on. If you know what I mean, holla

My script has Luca's kid, Sonnys robbery(thats how it opens)Nazorines furnature, some of Johnnys troubles, and anything else from the book that works. i'm also adding a ton of stuff w/ Fredo and why he's so weak in character.

Oh yea DSC, I totally forgot about Nazorine's furniture. That book is weird though. It doesn't jump around, like it sticks to one topic like Lucy and Jules and Johnny Fontane's big glob in the book. Thanks for the insight

Half(the old days featuring Sonny) of GF 4 is already written...Puzo said Deniro and Andy Garcia have copies of it...atleast thats what he said on the DVD interviews...the hard part is finding a good enough "present day" story to give to Vincents character...maybe Vincent Corleone restructuring the family and making his own name with Michaels help..?? Who knows...someone needs to think of something already...

Yeah and I*'m sure there are other parts of GF4 floating around. In that Companion book it said there were about 12 GF3 scripts or outlines written.

so is there an officer GF4 script right now? BTW, i think the vincent idea would be very hard to manuever without michael

There's part of the GF4 written my Puzo before he died, if thats what you mean by official.

That is certainly the tricky part. With the Michael story coming to a conclusion in part III, with the death of Mary not himself, it is hard to imagine him having any more business dealings ever again. Legimate or otherwise.

The natural thing for Michael to do after that scene on the steps is simply live his many remaining years in miserable isolation, devoid of any life about him at all.

To have him as an advisor to Vincent just does not seem possible to me I'm afraid.

definitely scott. thanks for the clarification Don Sonny

I think he would be wise enough to maintain a relationship with Anothany and continues to advise Vincent because he still wishes to protect his family from the horrors of the world.

Who, Michael, Don Lights?

yes Michael I speak of and I apologize if I didn't make the previous post clear enough before that I was talking about Michael.

bump

i think godfather IV should be the sicilian.

Oh God, please dont ever mention that again. Have you ever seen the Sicilian?
But welcome, anyhow.

has the sicilian been made a film? i'm sorry but i really dont know.. i thought that the godfather was the only novel of sir mario to be made a film.

what part of the novel did vincent came out? he's not in the book is he? ive already read the godfather, the sicilian and the family and i've already started with the fourth K.
well, here it is. godfather IV shouldn't continue the corleone's story but of a different family. Why should they restrcit themselves with the characters of the novel and of the movies? the family would be a great movie to make and watch because it would be set on the vatican and of the renaissance era. characters like machiavelli and da vinci would be great to watch and would give life to the author of the prince and the painter of the last supper. Cesare borgia's battle's would rival that of Lord of the ring's. more importantly, the issue of a pope having kids and being that cruel is controversial and isn't the controversial things in movies that people often want to see? and so, not only will it be profitable, it will also be a hit for the story is very well written. thank you

If it wasn't about the Corleones, then it wouldn't really be Part IV. It would be Part I of something else.

No the Sicilain was made into a movie(so was the Last Don,well miniseries) but TS is one of the worst movies I've seen (like the new face? )

if its still about the corleones then who will write the script/screen play/story? did sir mario write G-IV one before he died? if not, then who will write it? carol gino?

Puzo wrote parts of GF4 before he died. Bob De Niro and Andy Garcia are supposed to have them

don sonny corleone,
Is the GIV script floating around the internet? if so, can you please send it to me?
thank you

There are probably a lot of half, partial, unofficial scripts out there, but I dont know if Puzo's is on the internet.
