Sylvester Stalon almost made one of the worst long long -term lengths

Following the success of the “godfather” in 1972 and an even greater success “part of the godfather” in 1974, writer/director Francis Ford Copol was made with the series. He felt that stories about Vito Corleone (Marlon Brand in the present, Robert de Niro in retrospectives) and His son Michael (al begin) They said. Kapola told a complex Shakespeare drama about the loyalty of the man’s family, who is leading the crowd, and how this seemingly honorary quality undermines his desire to live a normal life. As a result, Michael was granted power in the mafia, and when he rose through the ranks, he lost his soul. In more conscious moments he was in peace with that.

Kapola was over, but Paramount wanted to continue to go, knowing that “godfather” films were not just prestigious images, but also large blockbusters. So, having studios, Paramount wanted to put a stool next to the “godfather” and milk it for everything it was worth. Robert de Niro has a nipple. You can really milk it. In 1985, according to an article in Los Angeles Times, Richard Brooks (director of “Cold Blood”) negotiated to make “godfather III”, was put up in Los Angeles to read the treatment for 53 pages that had already been collected. Brooks switched to the project, knowing that the “godfather” should remain in the hands of the cap. The paramoint started the flounder. They wanted the third “godfather” yes ill.

There is a paragraph at the time that mentions the deepened “godfather” projects, which at the time floated on Hollywood. It seems that there was even a “godfather, III” version, which was going to be removed from Sylvester Stallon as Michael and John Travolt as a son Anthony.

As you know, Copol eventually returned to make the “godfather part III” in 1990, and this is widely considered the worst of three films. Many criticize her Mawkish drama, and most people did not like Sofia Copol’s performance as Mary’s first cousin, whom he repaired. The 162-minute theatrical incision was nominated for the best picture at the Academy Award, but even at that time it felt a tired commitment rather than a true quality recognition. When the movie came out on a home video in 1991, it ran 1970 minutes, correcting some problems with step. After all, in 2020, Coppola again overcomes the movie, changing the opening, closing and a lot of music. The final incision works only 158 minutes. This says the movie requires so much skill to just watch. And to think that the project started with about 15 years of development of hell.

The Times article only mentions that the “almost” table has signed up to play the “godfather”, so there was no real project “Baptized Father” on the basis of steel. Indeed, he was one of the many actors and directors who, as they said, into orbit the project during the 1980s. According to the article of the mental thread since 2015, Martin Scars, Michael Man and Warren Beati have also been launched.

Since the Stallon did not write the project or sign the project, there are no additional details, besides saying that Paramount wanted it to write, direct and remove in it. Know that the Stalon did not admire this idea. In fact, he thought it was one of the worst ideas that Paramount could come up with.

In Interview 2010 with Ain IT Cool NewsThe table was asked about the time when he was almost attached to the “godfather, III”, and that he did not admire the idea at all. Steelone remembers how he became angry with the thought of this and what he said to Paramount Bigwigs. Quote:

“The” godfather “situation unfolded when the head of the parameow handed me a printed poster that had my picture, and under it” Godfather III “, written, and directed by Sylvester Stallon.” What to say if I wasn’t in the hat, my skull would crash into two. Francis created fights, and it was very unbearable to divert it from it for monetary reasons.

Why the Stalon? Perhaps because he, like Copol, made a prestigious blockbuster. “Rocky”, released in 1976, had a huge success, and the table continued to knock the hits. At the time, he also recently applied a loud sequel in 1983. The Live Removal, next in John Badham’s hit film “Fever on Saturday”, played by John Travolta. “Staying alive” was made for $ 22 million and earned $ 127 million at the box office, so the Stall and the Travolta were hot goods. However, the steelo had a certain integrity, feeling that only the cap should return.

After all, Copol came back to make the “godfather, III” after A few bombs in the “one from the heart” forms And the “Cotton Club”. He needs money. “Part III of the Baptism” was ultimately the hit, but he still didn’t remember very well. At least, the original creator had to do what he wanted with him.
