Any progress on the Godfather Epic/Saga project that was discussed earlier in this thread? I've seen it on TV a few times but would love to have the commercial-free uncensored chronological version on DVD. I doubt Paramount has any plans to officially release it in the near future (if ever) even though it came out on VHS and laserdisc long ago. So fan preservation may be our only hope of getting this on disc.

On a related note I just saw a commercial on Spike TV saying that they'll be showing the chronological version of GF 1 and 2 (aka "Godfather: A Novel for Television") starting on Sep 27 for 4 nights in case anyone who has never seen it just wants to check it out and see what the big fuss is over. This is my preferred version of watching GF 1 and 2 as opposed to the theatrical cuts, and not just because of the extra scenes throughout the film. I really hope we can get this on DVD someday.

Speaking of TV extended versions, does anyone have good copies of the Waterworld extended version (preferrably the uncensored one that was shown on the Encore cable channel a few times and not the censored network tv version). The extended version of Ron Howard's "Far and Away" is also another one on my wishlist. I think it was 30-40 minutes longer than the theatrical cut.

Finally, how about a decent copy of Coppola's "Hearts of Darkness"? All I have is a poor quality VHS-dub. Was this released on laserdisc? It's long OOP and likely to never be released on DVD.
