UPDATE: Exclusive.It does appear that the “Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father” has simply hit the wall. There’s no money to move forward, and producer Marc Fiore has not been able to raise the money he needs.

The fear was that Marco Fiore aka Marc Fiore was not able to raise sufficient funds to actually make the movie happen.
