    Sequel?
    There was a ton of talent in the first film. It will be interesting to see where the sequel takes us. I'm curious to see who is committed for the second movie. Since there are many different perspectives on what a "Godfather" is and does, it will be a pleasure to be connected to this project. Based on the first film, I wonder if they will change locations and directions in an effort to give the "Godfather" legitimacy in the general population. Or, will they seek to take over the global organized crime scene?

    Thanks...

    Chad
