From rmburnett's tumblr , we have this dispatch fro 2019, giving us the details on the JJ Abram's helmed remake of Godfather . Liked the original? You'll love this! CODY JARRET SAYS JJ ABRAMSā GODFATHER MIGHT JUST BE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!! āāā Cody Jarret here! I just got back from the hottest ticket in town, the top secret sneak preview of JJ Abramsā new re-boot, Godfather, and man, did it ever blow my expectations out of the water! When I found out that he wasnāt a fan of the original, and preferred Scarface, I was worried, but I have to say, JJās done it again, folks. If all you want is a one sentence review, itās this - Godfather is awesome! For those of you want more, here it comes, but be warned, SPOILERS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!! We open on Michael (Zack Effron) in the army, blowing away some Nazis and shit. Heās a total badass, but kind of inexperienced, and rough around the edges. He comes home, and his familyās all happy to see him, cuz heās a war hero now...
