Yep. The general population, and I would bet most production companies, have zero interest in doing anything about the Colombo War. I mean, how more generic can you get? Italian guys in Brooklyn killing each other for control of the crime family. Nothing unique or original there. It's essentially already been done, in one form or another, several times over.
If The Sopranos had
only been about the mob, it would probably never have been greenlighted in the first place, let alone had the success it did. It was the fresh approach of looking at a mobster's psyche, his personal family, as well as the mixture of comedy and drama that gave it such widespread appeal.
You should be a movie reviewer.
Getting paid to watch movies and give your opinion? Definitely worse ways to make a living.

once the new Scorsese movie comes out there will probably be a little mob buzz.
i dont have cable but it seems there's a few good mafia history shows. making of the mob season 1 and 2. American hero channel has a series called Mobs Greatest Hits e episodes on Galante, Gallo, Masseria, few others. and then u got the American Gangster shows etc.
and they just made the Rizzuto war show. I never got to watch it unfrotuantly... that's probably close as ull get.
there's a really good movie that is on the Casso era w name changes. called One Deadly Road. its one of the best B movie mafia movies
The Irishman will get some buzz because of Scorsese's name, as well as it having a lot of legendary actors, some of whom were in the classic mob films that Scorsese is known for.
All the Rizzuto war got was a relatively low-budget mini-series.
