Re: The Godfather restored.
Marvellous. So the stock is saved!
Let's also hope it will come to HD soon!

I though Coppola/American Zoetrope has some ownership. Am I wrong here?
Great to here that all three films are getting restored.

I believe Coppola was a director for hire by Paramount.

This is true. Coppola admits this in the audio commentary on either part 1 or 2. He speaks of how he was almost fired by Paramount on the project.

Re: The Godfather restored.
I think Lucas actually talked him into doing the godfather because American Zoetrope was broke over the disaster with THX-1138 and Warners.

Re: The Godfather restored.
Until they release a DVD version of the excellent (so much great extra footage) 'The Epic' version I'm not bothered.

I'll have to take exception to part of your statement. While the additional footage included in the "saga" version is invaluable, these two films in their theatrical release versions are among the pinnacles of achievement in American film and their preservation is essential. |

Re: The Godfather restored.
This restoration will hopefully make it a stellar candidate for an eventual HD release.

This is true. I meant I'm not bothered about getting them on High Def DVD.
