I learnt about it over 4 months ago , from a friend of a friend but if kaneda's going to announce it , who cares who gets in first . It's still going to be over 2 years away .
And if I'm wrong I'm happy to cop it 
Cool theme but JJP is such a dog shit company for quality and customer service. Unless they announce significant improvements I don't know.

Pretty sure this would be a first:
A pinball machine based upon a movie with zero real action sequences.
I mean, stuff happens, guns get fired every now and then, but there’s not any real set pieces.
Would be interesting to see if they could pull it off. Would be really tough to keep this one from sleeping with the fishes.
But As long as there’s a mode revolving around McClusky chewing his steak after he gets shot in the head id be happy.
Frenzy mode with sonny getting riddled with bullets at the toll booth ?
Quoted from TinyBlackDog:Horse head multiball!!!!
This doesn’t even make any sense!!!
But yeah a big plastic goofy horse head on the playfield would be cute.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:But As long as there’s a mode revolving around McClusky chewing his steak after he gets shot in the head id be happy.
Lol…
Great movies won’t always make great pins.
I think this would be a mistake.
Godfather lacks humour, one thing Sopranos has boat loads of.
Quoted from LTG:I can hear Jack now.
I'm going to make a pinball machine you can't refuse.
LTG : )
You know what the ball save call-out will be

Aren't we all. Cant beat the clock Riggs.
Quoted from mbrave77:I have never liked most mob themed shows or movies. I dont like godfather movies or sopranos. So that would be a pass for me but Id be really happy for folks that would be excited about that theme
I'm buying yours as well. One for the home one for the office. 
Quoted from dos_reboot:What happened to Jack's family friendly theme's?
They left with no gameplay diff'rences in trim levels and umatched quality.
But I mean what could be more family than Godfather. Shit its got like 5 families in it
Quoted from dos_reboot:What happened to Jack's family friendly theme's?
The Godfather is all about family.
LTG : )
They should have two lines going. One family friendly and one more adult oriented. Huge company like JJP can do two at once. Come on guys. U can do it!
I love the theme, but they really need to get their act together.
It’s very difficult to spend money with that company at this time.
I LOVE the Godfather but as someone else said it doesn't really have action or humor. It would have to have some amazing toys to work. I could see an old Italy upper playfield being cool.
Quoted from playtwowin:Voice acting by James Caan & Robert Duvall
I'm in 10000000%
They’re both like 90 years old. I can’t see either of them excited to do voice work for a pinball machine. You’ll be getting Joe Mantegna.

I'll take what I can get.

Godfather is a movie ABOUT family.
No one said they had to be sane.
Edit: I see LTG beat me!
I thoroughly enjoy the first two Godfather movies. The story carries such a serious tone, I am not sure if it would translate into a fun pinball machine.
Sopranos, which is of the same *basic genre*, was more humorous and it worked in a pinball machine.
Quoted from zaki:Hope not true. Been enough outdated themes. Wonka theme was bad enough
You know what it means when something is a "classic"?
Quoted from dos_reboot:What happened to Jack's family friendly theme's?
Went out the window when he gave up on family friendly playfields
Be a great theme, and if true I'm sure JJP could do it justice......that being said no more NIB JJP games for me (and I've bought all of them)....they need to change their tune with play fields responsibility... and yes I'm ok with rolling the dice a little (shit happens), but the last straw was charging owners with issues a fee for a replacement play field....

same for me !
Scarface and goodfellas probably would be better gangster themes, but I’d guess the artwork and depth/breadth of rule set would be tough to work with, just not a whole lot of material to fit a pinball machine. The drug aspect of those movies may not be so appealing, however.
The matrix is the holy grail, it’s a gold mine for any manufacturer that can get it. So much material to work with, sounds, rules, art, light show, etc. The license might be tough to get and expensive, but people would pay for the theme, I know I would. Really wish/hope it would be jjp, only they can do it justice.

The Blues Brothers is my grail pin , but don't think there's enough support behind it , for it to be made .
For me a more realistic theme is Big Trouble In Little China . It's got everything you could want , Monsters , fantasy , humour , action , sexy girls and jjp could do such a good job with it .
