I'm kind of surprised at the negativity towards the Godfather theme. It's the quintessential mob franchise. One of the greatest films of all-time. It's been developed into video games, board games, etc etc.
It's not an action movie, but there's a game to be built around the theme. Select your family (Corleone, Barzini, Tattaglia, Cueno, Stacci), then base the game on the 5 families battling for turf & control of NYC. Running rackets, bootlegging, gambling, drugs , etc. Make moves & hits against the other families to gain power & control. Recruit family members & build your criminal empire. Consolidate your power by bribing cops, politicians & judges. Be the last Don standing in NYC.
There's a lot of content here to build a great pinball game with. You don't need movie clips of expensive actors either, and JJP has a track record (on POTC & WONKA) for doing it this way. Most people enjoy a good mafia movie, so I think the theme is a winner. This is probably a fond theme for Jack too, growing up in Jersey.
JJP's pricing/quality issues & long development times though? That's a whole other can of worms. But this is the first theme in the history of JJP that I would actually be interested in if it was done right.
