JND Studios: Godfather 1/3

[Hobbyist]

Here are the clues directly from the video posted:

"Most iconic, legendary, important character or movie."

"License that was really hard to obtain."

"One of those movies......you had never seen anything like it on the screen."

"The premise of this film reminds me to go to church and pray and think about the second person of the Trinity."

"One of the actors was widely known to be the best actor and leading man."

"He revolutionised the craft of acting through his method."

Plus a screen-grab of Daniel's jaw-scratching gesture.

It has to be Michael Corleone, the son of the Godfather.

Al Pacino is the king of method acting. He is certainly considered as an iconic, legendary and important actor.

The scratching of the chin is a classic gesture of Brando's Vito Corleone. Everyone knows that. De Niro later used the same gesture when playing the young Vito.

It definitely can't be KR in The Matrix or CR in The Superman. They simply don't fit the descriptions.

I don't expect a great deal on the likeness of AP. We all know 70% is the best JND can do, but the tailoring of the suit will certainly look great. That much I know.

If my guess is right, then it would be something exciting to see as no statue manufacturers has done this before. It would be the first.

The only Michael Corleone collectible I know of is a custom 1:6 scale figure. DID had done a 1:6 "Chicago Gangster" figure which was loosely based on MC.

#facts:

It is absolutely not Michael Corleone, and please stop talking on our behalf with that;

“We all know 70% is the best JND can do” nonsense.

?We all know 70% is the best JND can do? bull----.

I like JND but not a fanboy like some in this forum. I only speak for myself. Feel free to disagree with me. I don't mind nor care.

Well you did not speak only for yourself because you said:

He said that the high profile actor was in the film, not the focus of it. The neck scratch hints at Brando and the "second part of trinity" would be the " son" and the father/ son aspect is a large part of the film.

A groundbreaking film for its time and highly important within the genre ( also mentioned).

If it is a Reeves Superman, I'm screwed.

BTW,My aunt meet Reeves in a library in NYC in 1980, and the 2 spend some time walking around and talking together.

Unlike some actors, i am not aware of Christopher Reeve being known as a method actor, compared to actors that are known as method actors.

License that was really hard to obtain.

Hot Toys, Sideshow Collectibles, DC Comics (figure) Mezco Toys all obtained the license for Christopher Reeve Superman
Marlon Brando The Godfather has been offered in the past as both figure and statue by various companies, including Blitzway, MCFarlane Toys, Sideshow Collectibles, Funko Pop

It points to the licenses being not so difficult to obtain.

Reeves took Superman seriously, but I was talking about Brando.
Again, Daniel mentioned the method actor being in the film, not the main focus of it.

My immediate thought was Nicholson Joker. He practiced method acting, he was a leading man and his license has been difficult to obtain in the past. The church part could be his Bat in my Belfry line

To be honest what was said could be interpreted any number of ways. The quote you had never seen anything like it on screen is very age dependent as Star Wars was one of the first films I saw and since that time it set the benchmark in terms of Special effects.

I immediately ruled out the Godfather due to Cinemaquette having produced one back in the day as nd although it was one of their better human likeness demand wasn?t there for the character.

I ruled out the Matrix mainly due to the Method acting aspect and leading man

That left Brando or Nicholson but Superman license has been easily obtainable

As I said it could be anyone

On the subject of highest grossing trilogies..

The Lord of the Rings
Back to the Future
Star Wars
The Godfather
The Dark Knight
The Hobbit

'go to church and pray and think about the second person..' - JND

How does the JND comment relate to the movies listed above?

Was The Godfather the only movie to feature a church scene?

Assuming Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) was the most important person in the movie,
could Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) be the second most important person in the movie?

The Baptism Murders - The Godfather (1972)

It could be Robert De Niro
Has there ever been an official of figure/statue of Robert De Niro ?

There have been official figure/statue of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino
