Smokin' Aces directed Joe Carnahan:

“I’ve had an idea to do a Tremor brothers prequel, do this, do that. You could explore these characters endlessly. Universal wants to move ahead with a direct-to-video prequel of ‘Smokin’ and asked me if I wanted to Godfather the thing and make sure we did a really cool story,” Caranhan reveals. “The DVD numbers ‘Smokin’ Aces’ has done are astounding and they want to strike while the iron is hot. Whatever reluctance I have is alleviated by the fact that we can really do this balls out, hardcore prequel and not be constrained by ratings or any other puritanical MPAA bullsh*t. That I love.”

In the original film, the Tremor brothers were played by Chris Pine, Kevin Durand and Maury Sterling. The three brothers are Neo-Nazi rednecks/assassins.

Joe, don't you ever ever ever EVER mention your pointless Tarantino knockoff crapfest of a movie "Smokin Aces" in the same sentence as the Godfather again!

I will not be held responsible for my actions,
