How hard can it really be to write a story or movie about the mob?

With the Sopranos winding down this weekend it had me thinking....how hard would it really be to make a movie or series like this?

I know the show has been blessed with a cast of allstars , but it would seem the material would never get old, there's so much to choose from and why not have a series based on a gambling syndicate/illegal bookmaking operation , people would eat this stuff up.

I need some Italian names , a few good stories and, wait ... I just might write a book about the Rx instead.

5th graders are doing it... not hard at all.

Opening scene: Camera pans back from a street corner (aerial shot) 5 guys are playing dominoes at the coffee tables in front of an Italian restaurant. Vinny, Sal, Lenny, Antonio and Luigi. A loud Italian female yells down to the men.

Angela: Hey you fucks, why dont you get a fucking job!!!

Sal looks up, pulls out a pistol and shots Angela right between the eyes; one shot. The back of her head is blown out and she falls out the window (Slow motion) in a half flip landing on her back in front of the men.

Sal: Fucking bitch, look at you now. Whats your job cunt, to look dead? you're hired. Hey Johnny, (a 15 year old busboy inside the restaurant) come clean this up and bring me some linguini.

There you go and i'm only in 4th grade
