If The Godfather was remade in 2016

[BelieveBeOK]

Who would you cast in the following roles:

Don Corleone
Michael Corleone
Santino Corleone
Fredo Corleone


I would personally say:

Don: Robert De Niro

Michael: Michael Fassbender

Santino: Tom Hardy

Fredo: Justin Chatwin

The only problem is, Michael is supposed to be the youngest brother and this would definitely change the dynamics of the original but I just can't think of any big name actor who could possibly do the role justice

Spoiler

Who I think Hollywood would probably cast

Don Corleone: Bryan Cranston
Michael: Channing Tatum

Santino: Michael B Jordan (adopted brother)

Fredo: Aaron Paul

I would like to see John Hamm and Christian Bale cast in it.

Gotta go back to the drawing board for michael then, if it admittedly fukks the dynamic.

It sets a bad precedent. Unless you want fukkery answers like the rock as carlo.

British dudes as the corleones? Hell nah. They great actors but they don't fit the parts.

Oscar Issac def as Michael though.

If ever a movie did not need a remake it's The Godfather. There's absolutely nothing you can improve upon.

THIS. RIGHT. HERE. The Godfather is timeless and perfect the way it is. Knowing Hollywood though a remake will be made.
