Fox's renewal of ''That '70s Show'' isn't the only sign Hollywood's mad for the Me Decade. Check out these groovy cinematic revivals.
MOB RULE While Random House and Mario Puzo's estate have yet to find an author to continue the Corleone saga, the publisher hopes to break bread on a movie deal with Paramount, which released 1972's ''Godfather.'' But a rep for director Francis Ford Coppola says, ''He's adamant that he's not doing any more 'Godfather' films.''
SECOND WIVES' CLUB Paul Rudnick (''In & Out'') will write and Nicole Kidman will star in a new version of ''The Stepford Wives,'' the campy 1975 thriller about suburban women who turn into subservient fembots. Director Frank Oz won't say if the update will keep the original's bleak ending, but promised ''a comedy with a very serious underbelly about men and women.''
RECOUNT Robert Redford will direct, produce, and star in the follow-up to 1972's ''The Candidate,'' reprising his role as Democratic Sen. Bill McKay. ''You can't improve on Washington for drama and farce,'' says screenwriter Larry Gelbart (''M*A*S*H''). As for those reports that his script will chronicle McKay's run for president, Gelbart laughs, ''I'll let you know when I get to page 2.''
