The Godfather
The Godfatheris considered one of thegreatest mobster movies of all time , and many feel that the only film that fare close to rivaling it isThe Godfather Part II . As one ofthe most culturally relevant moving picture of the LXX , a big part of this was its cast and most were Italian , in keep on with Francis Ford Coppola ’s brilliant characters .
The cast was so crucial to the movie , as there are n’t any half-baked visual effects or rapid camera movements in the film , and the actors carried the whole movie . Many finger that movie stars are n’t as relevant as they were in the 70 , so it would be a lot harder to pull offThe Godfathertoday . However , if cast director search hard enough , making the movie today would n’t look much unlike .
Sollozzo - Bobby Cannavale
Cannavale look strikingly similar to Al Lettieri , who play Sollozzo in the original . They even pull the same supercilium - raising , " who - you - talk - to ? " side look . But it is n’t just looks that makes Cannavale the ripe campaigner for the part , as hisgreatest movies according to IMDbprove that he couldactthe part , too .
Cannavale often take on roles as the problematic hombre , a man in power who keeps his cards stuffy to his pectus and ca n’t be squeeze around , no matter how much people try .
Jack Woltz - F. Murray Abraham
The angry , obnoxious , elitist pic theater director , Jack Woltz , though not a member of the Corleone family or a rival gang , is the only graphic symbol in one of the most iconic conniption in flick history .
After pass up to accept a bribe from Tom , Jack wakes up to his prized horse ’s head in his bed , which leads to one of the peachy movie screams ever . Abraham could slay this role with his commanding voice , and he looks standardized to John Marley , too .
Johnny Fontaine - Benjamin Bratt
Johnny Fontaine is the whizz with the vocalization of an Angel Falls who was modeled after Frank Sinatra . The character is known for crying in front of Vito because Jack Woltz wo n’t give him the lead part in a big Hollywood movie .
Benjamin Bratt has the dashing good looks , he can sing , as proven in the animated Pixar movieCoco , and despite being of Peruvian and German descent , he look a lot like Al Martino .
Clemenza - John Tuturro
Turturro may attend nothing like Richard Castellano , the actor who portray Clemenza in the original , and he may have the exact opposite physique , being tall and skinny , but Turturro is the perfect age , and when it comes to the fibre ’s personality , he would nail it .
As Vito ’s right - hand serviceman , Clemenza is serious when he has to be , but more than anybody else in the family , he can have a laugh , too . Turturro has proven he has the act grasp to cover all base , and , of course of action , he ’s Italian .
Kay - Margot Robbie
Diane Keaton was America ’s sweetheart at the time of shootingThe Godfather , and though she is n’t American herself , Margot Robbie is America ’s sweetheart now . It would n’t be the first time that Robbie wreak the purpose of a married woman in an abusive family relationship , as she did so inThe Wolf Of Wall Street .
But whereas her character was postulate in the criminal offense in that movie , Kay is continuously leave in the nighttime , and Michael edit out her out of his liveliness , which is one ofthe worst things he did , so it would be interesting to see Robbie ’s take on the character .
Tom - Mark Ruffalo
All of the sidekick have their downfalls , which in the main lead to their dying . Michael is too spiteful , Sonny is too passionate , and Fredo is too dumb . Of all the lineament in the movie , Tom is the most grade headed , but being the lawyer of the menage , he has to be .
For a sight of the flick , Tom sits in the background , watch and listens , and mostly only talks when he is asked something . Ruffalo is known for taking role incisively like this , whether it ’s as Bruce Banner in the MCU , Stan inEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , or Mike , inSpotlight .
Sonny - Joaquin Phoenix
Being the hothead of the fellowship , audiences are innovate to Sonny when he is smashing up a lensman ’s camera , and from this stage on , he starts argumentation and push all the style up to his inevitable death , which was one ofthe most powerful scenesin any crime drama .
There is only one mortal in Hollywood today that could garner this same common sense of anger and love , and that ’s Joaquin Phoenix . In 2012’sThe Master , while in a jail cellular phone , Phoenix went off script and completely demolish a toilet . Phoenix ’s role inThe Masterwas similar to Sonny in that he was extremely loyal , but at the same clock time very easily triggered .
Fredo - David Dastmalchian
Replacing John Cazale as Fredo is an easy task , as he has only been in five movies and every one of them was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film , which is a testament to how cracking of an role player he is . Fredo is much dense than his other buddy , and he should have been the promontory of the class as he is the older sidekick . Instead , he suffer from inner turmoil fuck that he is n’t that bright and from the frustration of everybody verbalize down to him .
On top of having a resemblance to Cazale , Dastmalchian would present this character bright , and this is evident in his few moments of screentime as a schizoid inThe Dark Knight .
