1.Who would you cast?
I also agree with some of Zasa's choices.

Lillo Brancato - Aspanu Pisciotta
Danny Devito - Hector Adonis
[not sure] - Stefan Andoilini
John Milano - Turi Guilliano
Paul Sorvino - Don Croce

2.Who would direct it?
i suggest the italian director Guiseppe Tornatore[Cinema Paradiso, Malena, etc.], I think he'd do a great job with it, and it'd be a great way to introduce him to Americans.

3.What scene would you definetly want to see in the screene?
there's so many great scenes.. it'd be hard to say.

I picked Lillo Brancato for Aspanu Pisciotta because I think he'd be perfect for the role. I picked John Milano for the role of Turi Guilliano because he'd be perfect for the role. John Milano isn't by far a known actor, but has done some independent stuff here and around New York, and is a great actor, and I saw a short play he was in in NYC, he played a young Italian and he was fantastic, so while I was reading the book I saw him as Guiliano. Here's a photo of him: http://www.geocities.com/connections901/john_movie.jpg
I'd think he'd be the new Al Pacino... like how Al Pacino was a unknown and not wanted by Paramount to play Michael Corleone, but he become a huge icon after that movie.

any thoughts?
