I'm gonna give outlining a possible GF4 a try! Actually, this isn't really a Part IV, it's more a rewrite of Part III, how I would like to see it. Tell me what you think.

*My dad (a dedicated Godfather fan himself) and I came up with most of the ideas here. Neither of us like Part III, especially Michael's character in that movie. He's so cool in Parts I and II... (I just felt that my dad deserved being mentioned since he really helped me with this.)

This is just the beginning! If anyone likes this I'll continue...

We begin in a very dark office, so dark that we can only make out the outlines of two figures. One sits behind a desk. The other, a very large man, sits in a chair.

Someone speaks in a heavy Russian accent, "You will regret this decision, Don Corleone."

A very impressive funeral. Members of the Corleone family stand in a graveyard, all wearing black. It's raining heavily. We see Neri, Vincent Mancini, Connie, etc. Everyone looks sad and/or destraught except for Michael (Hah! And I'll bet you thought it was his funeral! ) He stands in the middle of the crowd, arms around a hysterical Thereasa Hagen. Connie stands as far away from him as possible, fixing her brother with a stare of pure hatred. Vincent Mancini puts a hand on her shoulder. Connie smiles a little. The funeral service begins. We are here today to bury Mr. Thomas Hagen...

Later, as everyone is leaving the funeral, Connie walks over to Michael and slaps him across the face. "Bastard!" she snarls. "Are you satisfied now? You've killed everyone! Damn you, you've killed everyone!" She starts crying. "I hope you roast in hell! Bastard! Evil bastard..."

Two women and Vincent Mancini come and lead Connie away. She's still crying and cursing. Thereasa lifts her head and looks up at Michael... terrified.
