First of this is my first post and this board is awesome. Good to be around so many people like myself. My question is, what are the reasons behind Tom Hagen being "Dead" in GFIII why wasn't he in the movie. Is this just how FFC and MP wanted it or did Robert Duvall have something to do with it?

I heard Duvall talk about not being in GF3... he expained that he knew he wasnt as big a star as Pacino... "at least give me half of what you are giving Al" - he said something to that effect... I guess they really low balled him.... more money for the Vineyard LOL

Interesting how? GF3 was all about money... Tom wanted his cut. Why take the hit and make less? half of Pacino's salary or close to it would have been fair... I bet Coppola regrets it YOU'RE OUT TOM! LOL

It's also interesting that Michael is still refering to Tom as a great lawyer and not as a brother or member of the family. Despite Michael's epiphany in GFIII, apparently he still harbors some animosity toward Tom. I'm sorry, but doesn't Michael say "my brother Tom Hagen's son, Andrew" to the Archbishop?

Also, here's what wikipedia reports: Francis Ford Coppola has stated that Part III was originally planned to have the eventual split between Michael and Tom as its central plot. Coppola stated in the film's commentary that Duvall demanded the same salary as Pacino, which Coppola apparently rejected on principle. How would the story play out, given the film's story? I'm intrigued...
