Now officially announced by Paramount! DIRECTOR
FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA'S EPIC TRILOGY THE GODFATHER: THE COPPOLA RESTORATION Cinematic Classics Return to their Original Pristine Glory with All-New Special Features Must-Own Collections Arrive September 23, 2008 HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (June 30, 2008) - More than three decades after they won the Academy Award® for Best Picture, director Francis Ford Coppola's classic films The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II will once again be enjoyed by audiences as they originally were meant to be seen, thanks to a meticulous restoration by Paramount Pictures, overseen by Coppola himself. On September 23, 2008, both fully restored films will debut on DVD and Blu-ray, along with a newly remastered version of The Godfather Part III, to be included as part of The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration Collection. All three films will be available individually or in a five-DVD collection or four-disc Blu-ray collection, which are loaded with a host of all-new special features. The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II underwent extensive frame-by-frame examination and restoration utilizing state-of-the-art digital technology in this historic preservation effort, which required more than a year to complete. Robert A. Harris of the Film Preserve supervised the restoration under the direction of Coppola and cinematographer, Gordon Willis. Harris' restoration credits include Lawrence of Arabia, Spartacus, Vertigo and Rear Window among others. The new special features created by Kim Aubry, founder of Zoetrope Aubry Productions, explores the complexities of the restoration process and provides new insights and perspectives about how the film almost didn't come to pass as we know it. The Masterpiece That Almost Wasn't relates the unlikely events, intrigue, allegiances and luck that put together the unknown director with the "unwanted" cast and contains interviews with most of the living players and many of the film' admirers. Other featurettes include "...when the shooting stopped" and "Godfather World", which take a look at The Godfather's influence on popular culture today. Each film includes a commentary by Coppola.

the Scenes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good News! According to The Digital Bits Paramount's European arm has released official details of the DVD release of the restored trilogy there. The restored boxed set will contain all three films, 5 new featurettes, 4 short films, plus many or all of the bonus content from the original DVD boxed set. More details to follow about the US release, but it's curiously planned to arrive in the UK on June 2, 2008. See: Post Focus: Paramount Restores The Godfather (American Cinematographer, May 2008) [DISCUSS] WOAH! Can this be true??! I doubt it. According to Hollywood Elsewhere, blue-chip restoration guru Robert Harris has been working on a photo-chemical restoration of all three Godfather films. No release date has yet been set, but it could be soon as Paramount is (finally) working on an Official Godfather website. [DISCUSS] THE GODFATHER SAGA / NOVEL FOR TELEVISION / TRILOGY Check the Gangster TV Listings every couple of weeks to see when it's airing again. Sadly, there are still no plans to release the chronological version on DVD.
