Is Godfather 2 still coming out? (1 Viewer)

[RonWilson]

I know Godfather 2 and 3 were suppose to be released in October. But checking the Paramount site and Amazon, I see no listing of it. Has it been postponed or cancelled? I haven't heard any announcement!

 

[ZacharyTait]

Hmm, that's interesting. I just checked Best Buy's website and nothing is listed there for DVD, except the box set and the first movie.

 

[Paul McElligott]

Amazon doesn't have it either. :frowning:

EDIT: DVD Empire has the sequels but no release date...

 

[RonWilson]

Still any word on this release?

 

[Robert Spalding]

I've had The Godfather trilogy on DVD for quite awhile.

 

[Scott Kimball]

It's not on Paramount's currently published release schedule, which is surprising. Perhaps we'll see it in April.

[Robert Spalding]

didn't they release these as seperate movies? Is that what you guys are talking about?

 

[Greg Madsen]

Part 1 is the only one to be released seperately so far.

I'm also waiting for Part 2 to be released on the single disc edition. I don't really know why there has been no word on why it wasn't released in October. The date sort of came and went without the release.

 

[Frank@N]

The second movie is on two discs due to length, if I recall correctly.

But you're probably referring to 'single disc edition' as a movie-only release format.

I wonder if the size of the movie and the need for two discs is creating a cost/price point concerns.

If it isn't relatively cheap, people would probably opt for the boxset.

 

[jonathan_govols]

Yes you're right Frank. I'm talking about the movie only release. My bad for saying single disc.

I've already got Part 1 and I'm not really interested in the box set because I only really care about Parts 1 & 2. I got the first one for $10 and if I can get Part 2 for around that same price, it would be MUCH cheaper than buying the box set with 2 discs that I don't really want.

 

[RonWilson]

The digital bits' rumour mill says 2 and 3 will be released in May!!!

 

[Scott Kimball]

More than rumor... Paramount's latest press release, distributed to the press earlier this week, says as much. No specific date, but they are coming.

I have to ask a question to all of those interested in single-release versions of the first two "Godfather" movies: is Part III really bad enough to justify waiting nearly 4 years and missing out on a great extras disc just to avoid owning it?

 

[TravisR]

Nope. Especially since you could buy the set for $40 or $50 at stores over the holidays (not the $80 or $90 when it first came out).

 

[RonWilson]

Yes, Godfather 3 is THAT bad that I would rather spend MORE money, wait YEARS longer and NOT get a disc of extras just to AVOID having Godfather 3 on my shelf.

 

[Bubs81]

Part III is significantly worse than the first two installments but it's not "Dude, Where's My Car?" by a longshot. A good movie may be disappointing when compared to two great movies but it's still a good movie.

 

[jonathan_govols]

To answer your question Bill. I only saw the Trilogy about 2 years ago for the first time (I'm only 20) and I am definately glad that I waited for the single discs. I don't really want to own Part 3 and since I got the first one for under $10 (I should be able to get Part 2 for a similar price) there is a big difference between paying $20 for the only discs you want or paying $40 or $50 for 2 discs you don't really want.

And I thought Part 3 was decent, not good or great. Not worth owning in my opinion.

 

[Seth--L]

I held off buying the box set for two years waiting for either the price to drop or individual releases since I did not want to pay for Part III. Eventually I found the box set on sale for $40 (free shipping/no tax), which I consider a very good deal -- remember, we're talking about Godfather I & II. I've never touched the bonus disc, but have listened to the commentaries (even on III), and they are all excellent.

I bought the boxset the week it came out. I think I paid around $68.00 for it which was a pretty good price at the time. However, that was still well over-priced. But, Paramount had the true fans of Godfather I & II by the balls, so it was worth us to pay for it. In essence, I paid $34.00 each for Godfather I & II.

I would actually sell my boxset when Godfather II comes out individually, but it probably wouldn't even be worth selling now that the price is reasonable for it.
