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 it’s release, the legendary mafia crime-drama The Godfather is getting a remake – and what’s 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 Brando’s 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, there’s this unspoken rule in Hollywood that you’ve got to make a remake and relaunch the story for a new generation. I am not ashamed of this, it’s what we do in Hollywood and it’s 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 Depp’s 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!”

There’s no legitimate reason for this abomination. Parts one and two of the original perfectly captured the Puzo novel. The two movies were done in a format, color, and that still work well in theaters. The actors were all perfect. Sometimes it’s just best to leave perfection alone.
LOL good one
Ugh.
Why not one of the Wayans brothers? Let’s go all big stupid, or stay at home.
Except for the MST3K ones......
So now we get a twink Corleone. Yes, we are truly fottuto.
Next up, J.J.Abrams to extensively use lens flare in a remake of Dirty Harry....
Not guaranteed at all. For one thing it’s a great story. Once you have a great story then it’s just about the execution. And we know Francis knows how to execute the material. Then it’s the actors.
Of course, in the end, it’s a 6 month old hoax:

So there’s the real proof it’s not guaranteed junk. Something that doesn’t exist can’t be junk.
I used to like Johnny Depp but over the past decade, pretty much everything he’s done has been a POS bomb. Especially the last couple years. He must really need $$$$$$ to be doing some of the embarrassments that he has done. This will be a POS too. I don’t plan on seeing it no matter how much the Hollywood PR machine tries to hype it.
BTW, the gay subplot is what sunk the Sopranos, in my book. It was so stupid that I stopped watching.
I’m sorry “The Godfather” should never be a re-make
What not LEONARDO?
lol
besides gay pirate movies Depp is a proven $$$ loser.
“I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart! “
I’m betting this is fake.
Freegards
Not just retell the same incidents?
If they picked a part of Vito Corleone's life that wasn't covered in any of the other movies, it could be worth seeing.
And really, could it be worse than Godfather III?
Fake news. “Disclaimer: All stories on this site are satire and the opinions expressed do not belong to any real people. If persons appear in the picture they have nothing to do with the story.”
Coming soon, the Gone with the Wind remake with Zoe Saldana as Scarlet O’Hara and Will Smith as Rhett Butler.
With a cameo by Hillary Clinton as Prissy.
