There were also reports a few years ago that you were involved in a potential fourth Godfather film. Care to clarify?

I don’t think Godfather ever should have had more than one movie, actually. It was not a serial, it was a drama. The first movie wrapped up everything. To make more than one Godfather was just greed. Basically, making a movie costs so much money that they want it to be like Coca-Cola: you just make the same thing over and over again to make money, which is what they’re doing now. But Godfather was not really a serial, you know? I mean, how would you spin off Hamlet?

I don't agree with him. I liked all 3 movies and Part 2 was a classic.

I agree with you Sonny. Besides, I think part II was in a lot of ways better.

I really like the first two Godfathers. Its one of the very few times the sequel was as good as the first movie. I kinda liked the third Godfather but I could have been a lot better.

I disagree with him. Even though the first Godfather is my favorite, I like the second movie quite a bit too. I know a lot of people think the second movie is actually the best. I agree with Mr. Coppola over part III though. That movie really didn't need to be made.
