Hmm. I believe this could be just some "re-package" of the old set? I mean, can they actually release this new restoration (with new extras) this quickly (June is not that far away)?
Don´t get me wrong, I hope that we get the new box set sooner than later (in Blu-ray also, of course), but I also hope that they don´t "rush" this to markets (e.g releasing new restoration with old extras or no extras at all).

Re: Godfather 4k
The key to your question is "this quickly". Having read this thread, this is definitely not a slapdash job of restoration and would have been properly documented. Just because we're only finding out about it now doesn't mean the DVD version hasn't been in the works for some time. I think it may take a little longer for the BD version, replication limitations being what they are right now, but I don't think there's any issue with how quickly an SD version can come out.

Re: Godfather 4k
This restoration really deserves some theatrical playdates. I want to see it again, and the restored print of THE GODFATHER PART II as well.

Re: Godfather 4k
More info/rumors
The Digital Bits Rumor Mill - Current Posts
From the article:
"The BBFC notice means that Paramount is likely planning to being The Godfather Trilogy Restored to DVD (and possibly even Blu-ray Disc) later this year."
The "and possibly even Blu-ray disc" doesn't sound very encouraging, especially considering Paramount's past track record. If this were Warner there would be no doubt of a consecutive BD release and I'd be jumping for joy right now, as it stands I'm not very hopeful.
I don't double dip on standard def anymore so I'll stick with my current set if this is a DVD only release.

Re: Godfather 4k
Paramount would be positively NUTS not to release a Blu-Ray edition of a movie IMDb voters collectively voted the best film ever made.
A DVD reissue with no Blu-Ray is an offer I CAN refuse.

Re: Godfather 4k
Although the UK release has apparently already been everything but announced, it would be prudent of Paramount to hold off on a release until they get their Blu-Ray act together.

Re: Godfather 4k
Now that HD DVD is dead, can we now hope to get different colored Blu-ray cases? For some reason, I just don't like the idea of an HD Godfather box set clad in cerulean blue. It really needs a darker, more thematic color.

Re: Godfather 4k
Sounds great. But like some others here, I will wait for the BD release and will not double-dip on DVD. Hope Paramount doesn't drag their feet forever w/ that...

I'd have to believe it will be some type of cardboard case - Close Encounters for example. There are others too.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Paramount is going to release Godfather so soon on BD. |
