First of all- HI! I'm new here and I'm also a huge fan of THE GODFATHER movies. I've been browsing around here for a couple of months and decided to join.

Now on to this. After reading the first draft of Francis Ford Coppola and Mario's Puzo's GODFATHER PART III script, I came up with a crazy idea to remake the movie (it's a fan film), and base it on the script with some subtle changes.

The movie is currently in development and will enter pre-production status when the script is finalized (summer).

So what do you think?

Welcome.

So, you're remaking it all by your lonesome?

Okay. So you're filming it with a Brownie camera in the back yard where your dad is helping you build a mock-up of St. Paul's cathedral and your sister will play Connie. Got for it!

Yeah...no.

Can you let us in on the plot changes?

The script will be the 1st draft written by Mario and Francis. There will be some subtle changes, but the script (atleast 90%) of it will stay the same.

The actors ages will be from 20 to 30 which is another reason why I'm waiting a long time to film this. I'm going to be co-producing the movie, while also directing and working on the script changes.

Don't you need the rights from Paramount? What other movies have you directed?

mm hhmmmmmmm.

Ummmmm yeah, well before you do this would you help me out? I need to conquer the Klingons.

When are the audtions,i can see myself as Vincent

I've always wanted to cross-dress. Could I play Connie?

Are both of you serious?

I dont think we need the rights to make a FAN FILM. And I have also directed a James Bond Fan Film, based on Ian Fleming's MOONRAKER.

And also-just please give me a chance. I guranttee you this won't be 13 year olds running around there back yard with their sister filming them. I'm trying to make this a proffesinal looking as I can.

And when I'm done the script, would someone like to review the changes?

I think I should play the part of Michael. I expect to have a constant supply of grilled cheese and chocolate milk in my dressing room. As well as a bottle of liquor. Any liquor.

And if you plan on doing anymore Bond movies, you should consider me as a Bond girl. I'm a natural, or so I hear - the kids always called me Pussy Galore in high school.

What are you trying to say?

Isn't it obvious?

Hey. Why is everyone jumping all over this person? Why not give him / her a chance?


Don Cardi

Thanks! Just give me a little chance.

Any fan-art people around here who would like to make a teaser poster?

Please pick me please,i can draw

Photoshop stuff?

I heartily second that.

Amateur films have been around practically since film itself. There are plenty of Godfather-inspired films to be found on the Internet. Tributes, spoofs, you name it. Lots of links have been posted right here on these Boards.

I made (or was involved with) lots of these in my younger days. I made my first one at age ten. I produced and directed my last 8 millimeter magnum opus (a spoof of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?) in 1975. Eleven years later, a NYC science-fiction club I was a part of made an amateur film/video to show to children in hospitals and long-term care facilities. I directed that one - and that's also where I met my late wife.

I am quite serious when I say that there are many talented film makers out there who were bitten by the creative bug as younger amateurs.

As Rocky Balboa said: Go for it.

Signor V.

I still wanna play Michael.

Hmmm.....perhaps I'm showing my age, but I find it difficult to visualize you playing a death scene covered in rubber wrinkles.

Difficult...not impossible.

Signor V.

What like a old hag.

I'm beginning to understand why JJ liked the "Notify" button so much!

Can we get back on topic?

So basically what I'm getting out of all this is...

You don't want me to play Michael? May I ask why?

Here is the first change that I'll make with the script:

The killing of Cicci and the Russo brothers will be much different, it will be much more voilent and jaw dropping.

More Soon.

And if anyone is interested in making a photoshop teaser poster, just tell me!

Well I don't know if your playing around or not. And it seems like you are.

I'm excellent with photoshop. Too bad I wanna be Mikey!
