Personally, I always thought Coppola was a horrible nepotist. I mean, talk about a movie about family! He's got like everyone related to him in the movie in one way or another. I am not sure how much the overall film quality suffered due to the fact that most of his family were amateurs, but I definitely find it hard to believe that there were no other qualified persons for the parts. If there is a Godfather remake, and they let Coppola touch it, I'm sure we will see Nick Cage and the next generation of Coppolas in it somewhere.
