It's reasonably common because it's so infamous. I have a copy, but unless you have a trade list, I'm really too swamped to send out a freebie right now. Maybe in a few weeks, though.

EDIT: Never mind. Consider it a bump.....even though it was at the top of the page to begin with.....

I have the workprint as well bought if from subcin, guy sells it on 3 standard dvd's have not watched it so don't know the quality.

SO far Subcin's copy is the best I've seen. Guy really knows his stuff.

And where can I find that?

I would like to see this too!

Can anyone PM my some info on how I can?

FF

I have this workprint , it's the best version out there..

Mind PM'ing me on the matter of obtaining said workprint?

i have a copy as well which has compressed onto a single sided dvd. quaality not great but intresting to have

Sorry for the blank response.

If anyone has the 3 Disk version from subcin I'd love to get a copy. I have a 2 disk version that's not that great. Looking to upgrade. I have LOTS to trade. PM Me please

Once I actually get this, I'm thinking of making my own better "Apocalypse Now Redux", as well as perhaps a shorter version of the original. It'd probably just be for myself, but would anyone else be interested?

Who has the best quality copy of it? I would love to put together a special edition of it using Hearts of Darkness thrown in which I have. Please pm me.

if someone could take the best version from subcin which is on 3 single layers and put it on maybe 1 0r 2 dual layer discs it would be great.

Or maybe even someone could track the the vhs source used to master it and someone on these boards could do a reel good quality transfer of it.

this really should be known as the Coppola Roughcut or producers's cut because it was probalbly taken from a vhs dupe of one of the video masters and given to some producer on the film.

What I really would like to see is a comp of the Lucas/Milius script with the documentary and the Vietnam chopper footage from more american graffiti to show what his vision would have been. Maybe even a fan documentary could pan away from the script and comp in The Scenes that were put in return of the jedi with the ewok's against the imperials to show a bit of the flavor of his original vision of the little guy triumphing over the machine.

Too bad he never made it because it would've been brilliant directed by Lucas, co written by milius produced by Coppola, and the sound mix was going to be done by Walter Murch. Lucas probalbly would
have done what he did with graffiti and his friend later did with forest gump on the music part of it.

if anyone wants to trade a copy. PM me. i have it on a SL disc. i can post screen caps if anyone wants

Although, it does have some of the deleted scenes from the workprint. Even the quality on the official DVD is lacking... obviously a 1970s U-matic with a timecode. One scene is presented newly mastered, but it's heavily damaged and partially faded.

id love to see someone put together a "more complete dossier", maybe a couple of bonus discs including the circuit city stuff, the workprint and hearts of darkness. If we could make disc art that matched this could be a realy awesome project.
