The Rock as Luca?

Fuck it, you may as well let Jay Z play him.

While I am a HUGE fan of the saga (as everyone here obviously is) I really hope that it is three and out. Part 3 kind of fell off from I and II. I think that IV and V would just be way too much. Listening to FFC, the story is really about the struggles of Micheal Corleone. Any new films would fall from that direction. This being said, if there ever is a IV (and God forbid a V) I think that Enzobaker's story has a great direction and that this is the way too go. I do like the idea of seeing the "happy years" that we didn't get to see but is just too hard to picture new actors in these roles. These films mean so much to me as I am sure they do to all of you. I just hope that Hollywood doesn't try to make new films that do injustice to the brilliant works of Puzo, FFC, and the brilliant cast and crew from the three films. I feel that the Puzo family allowed that to happen when they decided that they needed some extra $$$ from us die-hard fans and allowed that pathetic 'Godfather Returns' to be written. Instead maybe Enzobaker should have written a couple of books for the Puzo family. Saying all of this if there ever is a Godfather IV I will probably see the rest of you in the theaters somewhere as I will not be able to resist going to see them.

EnzoBaker-I think that your story is great. I found myself wanting more. This is excellent work my friend.

Well, I think it should mainly follow Vincent as the Don in the early/ late eighties.
It will have flashbacks to Micheal Corleones life prior to the Godather Part 1, in his teens.
Also, Sonnys sons Frank would somehow be involved, maybe as Underboss or Capo.
Micheal will not be directly involved in the families problems, because he is living out his life in Sicily.
Also, the film would go a bit more into detail of the other families interests.

The 27 to 41 ( the happy years )version is exactly what I have been hoping they would make, to me it is the missing piece to the godfather 1 and 2 masterpiece puzzle.

I SHOULD FOLLOW.

How's this... An ancient Tom Hagen turns out not to have been dead at all, as he and a frail Michael Corleone discover after all these years Rocco didn't die in the Roth assassination, and scheme to get him to recant some testimony he gave against Michael.

It can all start with Vincent's wedding to Grace who Michael bitterly calls his "American" wife. Vincent can bring Grace up to date on all the family history from GF III forward as Kay and Connie lamely try to sing Cella Luna.

The Johnny Fontaine character is replaced by some broken down old print journalist who thinks he is due a favor for having exposed McCluskey years ago. The paper is now out of print, and he is trying to get a job with the fictional equivalent of Politico or Huffington Post. Tom has to fly to Silicon Valley to talk to some "internet big shot" who exclaims the journalist "never gets that blog." He ends up with a smashed I pod in his bed.

or ...

Hey! I'm on to something! After the I Pod scene Michael meets with a guy who wants the family to go into selling bootleg designer purses and ties. The guy, Solozzostein, says he is backed by "people in the comission" and that he wants 25% of Michael's share in Immobiliare to use as start up money, promising he'll get all his investment back in a year. Michael says "No" because he thinks the police will not go along with the sale of knock off designers, and Anthony, who has quit opera and now works for the family interrupts and says "You mean the commission guarantees our safety?" Then Michael apologizes and says he spoils his children, but his "no" is final. To be contiuned..........

DT, you're all over the Board this AM. Too much coffee?

Too little work.
