Since this one has a 5.1 track (restored!!), does anyone have the original PCM track from the laserdisc? I’d be interested in syncing it for the release.

That would take some more time.

I’m for BD as it is broadcasted, and later if/when someone preserve re-synced original PCM track from the laserdisc can be easily muxed to BD.

So there is no need to hurry for preserving LD audio, in this way we can get it proper without issues (always something can go wrong), like: V1 fiix this, V2 fix that…

Is possible to extract full English subtitles?

Will be nice of these who will record it to add few screenshots including title, and extract English subtitles from ts-file - they can be very useful for foreign languages [translate or timings].

Impressive. Most impressive.

Thanks to all involvements in this project and specially for share it with public.

What about alternate audio track as DTS:X or Dolby Atmos…
I’m curious also what other thinks about it…
Or it’s simply bad idea…

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks are recorded and mixed differently than conventional surround sound formats. They use a system known as “object-based” surround sound. Sounds move around, coming at you from all directions, not just front and back. You enjoy a more three-dimensional listening experience.

I don’t know about anyone else, but this is my most anticipated release in years. I really can’t believe they’re doing this. I probably won’t believe it until I see it.

You’re not alone. I’ve long hoped to see something like this. I own the 1901-1980 Trilogy on VHS and whilst I was delighted to get hold of the AMC broadcast (presented in HD and OAR), it was an inevitably censored version. HBO are offering something that’s unprecedented and I can’t wait to see it.

Yeah. Totally unexpected surprise.

And finally I can say Goodbye to godfathermuseum FanEdit.

It’s only HBO DJ for trailers. 😃

The promo says: edited into this single film + R-Rated
Let’s say if they will use only one intro and end credits, this can be the most extended, remastered & uncensored version.

Dave @ godfathermuseum
This is history. The runtime is 424 minutes. This “Godfather Epic” will be like the original Godfather Saga release in 1977 except without the opening and ending credits. With the opening and ending credits, it runs to about 434, and without them it’s around 424 minutes. The Godfather Epic that will be shown on HBO should not be mistaken with the vhs release of 386 minutes. The will truly be history because there will be no HBO logo, no commercials and the violence and language will be there.

The Holy Grail

The promo says:

Francis Ford Coppola’s legendary gangster epic “The Godfather” and its Oscar®-winning sequel “The Godfather II” are edited into this single film–told chronologically and with added footage that was cut from the original films.

According to info from HBO:

R: Adult Content, Brief Nudity, Graphic Language, Graphic Violence 😃 Uncensored.

This can be extended Epic release - new cut. 😃

Excellent news! 😃

Cheers digitalfreaknyc! 

The white color over screenshots is indicator that some color is missing, right?

I'm pleased to know interest hasn't waned in this preservation project.

We're inching closer and closer to a "grindhouse" release.

Of course, we are waiting for new updates with a lot of patience.

Future work to be done:

Make 35mm replacement scene in Reel 2 match grain,and resolution of 8mm.

It's not good solution (in V1 is huge difference), may be is better to transfer missing scenes from lower source (16mm).

But how is possible that 2min+ is missing from reels what Poita have?
I mean it's unpossible that he forgot to scan it... someone cut them out from reels?

I'm curious how will looks second transfer.

This 8mm transfer looks so nice & really unique.  :D
I wish you will preserve it in best way you can.

Cheers!

8mm Grindhouse version  (T-1 have issue with monitor)

If Poita & T-1 can make to looks like this it can be really nice to have preservation on Blu-Ray (menu, subtitles, few audio tracks ...)   ;)

Cheers!

Update for upcoming fanedit The Godfather Saga: The Complete Epic Trilogy 1901-1997.

97% is done, Audio: DTS:X 11.1

http://godfathermuseum.blogspot.com/2015/04/misc-comments.html

All the scenes from the AMC HD extended version of the film are now inserted back into the film. The quality is in full hd and sourced for the Coppola restored blu ray with full 5.1 surround. This is the first time these scenes have been edited back into the original film in a full hd cut.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full HD, Full 5.1 surround..?....

Your intention to make extended edition is excellent.
But in deleted scenes audio goes out of sync, bitrate is too low...

The Godfather Saga

The first two Godfather films were re-edited together in chronological order with additional footage added.  Starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino & Robert De Niro.  Part 1 of 4.

http://tlntv.com/shows/mucho-movies

Airing in Canada August 31st 2014 on TLN in HD

They aired this 3 weeks ago but I missed it! Thankfully they are showing it again @ noon in HD on Sunday. Be careful though because they are also airing Godfather proper afterwards. It’s airing as a marathon over 5 parts on Sunday so if you record it make sure you are recording each 2 hour part(again 5 parts total for 10 hours so make sure you have room on hard drive). I’m not sure if this is the AMC cut version since a tiny Canadian channel wouldn’t be able to afford making an uncut HD version since none has ever existed but technically Canadian TV doesn’t have the censor problems American channels do, so who knows? Maybe they’d splice in uncut versions of scenes from the blu ray remaster

**Maybe will be in some way different
**

Edit:

Godfather Museum<span>
</span>

We actually have a recording of that broadcast. It was not the most recent version shown on AMC, it was the older version shown throughout the late 90’s on channels like USA and Bravo.

But can't be all perfect, leave the logo.

Godfather Saga AMC in HD is released 3 long years ago,
and looks like no one have intention to make uncensored version.

Use AMC and import scenes from Blu-Ray, or opposite.
And maybe 5.1 track (DTS)
Without GFIII
Release as Blu-Ray.

That can be best chronological version in best quality for a long long time.

An Offer You Shouldn't Refuse

tranzor - thanks for best quality workprint version

I try to use

Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve

http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davincirevival/software

to correct collors and other things (I never do it before)

but my hardware is low and cant open it :-(

Anyone interesting to make extended version

use aditional scenes from DVD/BluRay, workprint, not all,

with correcting collors and other things...

It would be better watch it in better quality than the entire  movie in low quality

I have nice idea Godfather saga in HD

AMC channel screened The Godfather: A Novel for Television in HD
with remastered deleted scenes , not matted to 16:9.
But version is cuted viollence and nudity,

I dont know if they will release SAGA on Blu-Ray
But if they do that I think it will be CUTED SAGA

2 solution
Use Blu-Ray, re-edit it in chronologically and insert deleted scenes from AMC HDTV
with others scenes from VHS, LD

or

Use AMC HDTV rip and add violence, nudity and deleted scanes from Blu-Ray, VHS, LD



That will be best edition for UNCUTED Godfather Saga in HD



And all respect to fanedits who was worked on Godfather Saga last years

Is there anyone have Apocalypse Now (Three-Disc Full Disclosure Edition) BluRay?
