Re: New restoration of THE GODFATHER heading to DVD soon?
Glad to see we're on first name terms, Mike. Contact me first, what are you talking about?!
As has been mentioned, the article merely repurposes information contained in this very thread with editorial comment by the author, with no additional confimed info from either Paramount or Mr Harris....
With regard to the AFI statement and specifically restoration work on GII, it may well be in the 4 years that has passed since Mr Harris's '03 statement that work has become necessary. Alternatively Part 2 may well be undergoing standard preservational lab work, such as the creation of new intermediate film elements to create new prints at the same time as the preservational work on the first film, which I mentioned was a distinct possibility last week. They may well even be doing 4K negative scans for a digital theatrical showing, which would also require digital restorational work and clean up.
You seem to have taken my comments and observations personally, for whatever reason, I post only if I can offer clarification and to correct other posters mis-information on issues that interest me. At the time of posting all of my comments and observations were valid.
