More horses heads? The beginning of a new Godfather trilogy scheduled for 2016
Paramount Pictures, one of the biggest players in Hollywood made a huge announcement this morning that will no doubt drive film fans into a frenzy 44 years after its release, the legendary mafia crime-drama The Godfather is getting a remake and whats more, the flick is starring none other than Johnny Depp himself.
In the press release, Paramount Pictures revealed that they had been planning a remake since 2002, but that they had not been able to find anyone who they thought could live up to Marlon Brandos august performance in the original. This is what Francis Ford Coppola, the director of the 1972 film as well as the upcoming remake, had to say: You know when you got a film as successful and as influential as The God Father, theres this unspoken rule in Hollywood that youve got to make a remake and relaunch the story for a new generation. I am not ashamed of this, its what we do in Hollywood and its a great opportunity to create a new exciting version. This project has been on the drawing board for almost 15 years and I was just about to give up on it until 2010 when I saw The Tourist in the cinemas and saw Depps energy and fire, I knew I wanted him to be Vito Corleone. Five years later, we are well into production and are expecting a 2016 release. Working with Depp is a blessing and he is really nailing his role!

What a perfectly terrible idea. Terrible.

The movie is quite compelling, because it pulls absolutely no punches about Bugler’s detestable character. And yet, because Depp is so hypnotic, the viewer keeps watching.
Thanks, IMDB says it is Russ Meyer, not Roger Corman.
