The Godfather Remake Starring Johnny Depp As Vito Corleone Confirmed For 2016 (NOOOOOOOO!)

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!”

The remake of Willy Wonka with Johnny Depp was an abomination.
Now the Godfather? Sheesh.
Why can’t they leave classics alone?

This is so stupid.

I am reading a best seller right now that would make an excellent movie.

It involves lawyers, Jamestown Colony, Shakespeare, the Russian Mob, sex, ancient encrypted manuscripts, murder, torture, academia, New York City, and hapless good guys caught in a web of intrigue. I am only halfway through, but it would make an excellent flick.

Why recycle old stuff when there is good stuff out there?

Besides...the Godfather is one of my favorite movies and I can’t imagine anyone else in those roles.

Especialy not Johnny Depp..Ew.

“Token minorities, Gay/Lesbian subplot/ , bad”

Will we ever get a line like this:

In my city, we would keep the traffic in the dark people, the coloreds. They’re animals anyway, so let them lose their souls.

It is also being asserted that this is a fake claim being circulated.

I actually agree with your points but by token I meant “non applicable for the sake of storyline”. Which happens all the time in period pictures.

The kiss was symbolic not homosexual. For centuries there were man kisses that were symbolic. Putin kisses a childs stomach during a church mass every year. Nothing homo about it except those ill informed and wishing to include their own homoerotic fantasy to it.

By token I meant non applicable at all to the story line which is always 100% obvious.

Did you see “Black Mass”? Depp’s performance as Whitey Bulger is quite chilling.

The Godfather Remake Starring Johnny Depp As Vito Corleone

Johnny Depp doesn't’t have the ‘Depp’ to play ‘The Godfather’

There’s no legitimate reason for this abomination.

Some movies are works of art and should never be remade. IMHO, The Godfather is clearly on that list.

Unfortunately, most movies are pieces of crap and should never have been made in the fist place. It is easier to bet on a remake of a successful movie (even though most remakes suck) than it is to bet on something original.

Keanu might be good for Fredo, not Michael. Not sure if I mean that or not.
