I have the utmost respect for Mario Puzo's writing skills. I read The Godfather I was amazed. I read The Last Don and was just taken by the vision of this man and when I read Omerta which in my opinion is the best of the Mafia triology of Puzo's i was flat out enthralled. Great writer and everybody should read his work
@MrRobertFarr Жыл бұрын
That's interesting. Omerta, the Sicilian code of silence! I am just reading the first book. I got my hands on by Mario Puzo. It was only £2 . I am reading The Godfather and was curious to hear how Mr. Puzo's voice used to sound. Things were different back then. Communication is a lot better these days.

Such a shame because I would love to see that movie! Ed Falco wrote The Family Corleone and captures I think half of what Puzo wished for in the Godfather Part 4. I would love to see the movie- with the right actors castes of course and Coppola directing- but damn Paramount won't do it. We should petition y'all.
@Dank95112 жыл бұрын
Last I heard, Francis was having some SLIGHT CONSIDERATIONS about pulling out the script for The Godfather 4...however, to be very frank, I think I saw the book as complete within the first two films. The third one was good, but not that good. I think another film (especially so long after) would do extreme damage to both Coppola's repuation and the series. I don't see how a fourth installment could work. I really don't.

@g6686not The Godfather 4 was originally supposed to go right into early stages of production in early 1999, however there were some set backs. Unfortunately Mario Puzo passed away before any negotiations could be shared. Francis Ford Coppola still retains the FILM RIGHTS...so IF he wanted to adapt a fourth installment, he could easily do so as Hollywood nor any studio in Hollywood doesn't own the rights and can't do it, Hollywood's been trying to get the rights, but FFC is smart, luckily.

JMC RSA Actually, Brando was too tall. The character as described in the book is short. As for his personality, nothing to do with intimidating. On the contrary. An afable man. He's intimidating just because everybody knows what he's capable of, but he doesn't show it. He's no Luca Brassi. In other words, Depp would be perfect.

The last godfather is horrible. It should have been about Connie's attempt to restore the crime family by attempting to place her son in the position of being the new don. They could have contrasted this with Puzo's desire to show the rise of Vito's family just as FFC contrasted Michael and Vito in GF2.
