The Godfather Saga - HD Restoration (Released)

Put me down as someone who would love for the footage to be released all in one go, as an uninterrupted file. A disc-based release would be cool, too, but personally, I would prefer just being able to turn this on and watch it without stopping.

I don’t know how others will be doing it (if there is anyone else) but I’m probably doing it as a 2 disc set, like I did the last time. I included the other bonus features as well. Anyone could easily download that and create their own single file.

HBO short trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsB9ZPO4ipA

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.

Dear god what is that awful music.

Looks like that’s the only airing. On my DVR I had to record HBO itself for the 6:05. Thanks for the heads up. 😄

That’s not true at all. Thus far:
Sun, Jan 17, 5:00PM ETHBO EAST
Sun, Jan 17, 8:00PM ETHBO WEST
Sat, Jan 23, 9:00PM ETHBO SIGNATURE EAST
Sun, Jan 24, 12:00AM ETHBO SIGNATURE WEST
Fri, Jan 29, 9:00PM ETHBO ZONE EAST
Sat, Jan 30, 12:00AM ETHBO ZONE WEST
Wed, Feb 3, 5:00PM ETHBO2 EAST
Wed, Feb 3, 8:00PM ETHBO2 WEST

And it WILL be available on demand.

Thanks, man. It looks like maybe my cable box hasn’t updated yet. Sorry!

EDIT: Also can anyone verify is this the Parts I and II or all three? My HBO listing says “The entire saga of the Corleone crime dynasty re-edited in chronological order from The Godfather I, II and III, including scenes originally deleted from the theatrical versions.”

No. This is just 1 and 2. No 3.

HBO is airing the Epic in HD, starting on the 17th. Looks like I’m going to completely re-cap the whole thing 😃

AWESOME! Any chance you could post your capture of the HBO broadcast on the spleen? I’m SO excited about this. An HD version without the AMC logo and without commercials?! HEAVEN.

We’ll figure out where I’ll post it. I’ll completely re-do that entire 2 disc set again.

I already have a decent copy so I’m not in a terrible hurry to get the best quality of this terrible show. But is there a page that has screenshot comparisons between the different versions circulating? I’d be interested to see how much immprovement has been yielded since I got my KCCI sourced dvd in 2005.

This. Screenshot comparison please?

Perhaps the biggest problems should be addressed FIRST, then, no?

The biggest problem is to have the forum actually online, which was often not the case with the old hosting service, the second biggest problem is to restore the functionalities like subscriptions, bookmarks and drafts, the third biggest problem is how things look like. What use is the most beautiful forum if it’s unavailable every now and then?

Thank you for the explanation. So, how things look WILL eventually be addressed?

God, this site absolutely sucks now. How did this ever go live?!? Wake me when it isn’t a BIG jumbled mess.

That post got this thread locked and I had to request that it be unlocked. If anyone else has a rude comment to share, kindly do so elsewhere. Thanks.

With all due respect, the point still stands: is this the format of the site from now on? Or is it going to be changed so that it actually fits the entire screen. It’s like looking at vertical widescreen. I don’t understand how priority was given to people looking at the site on a phone instead of a computer.

And, randomly, why is the font from Dick Tracy?

More OUT Rerelease Rumors from John Landis!

Here's the direct source. He doesn't mention hearing it from Lucas but there appears to be an edit in the footage so I don't know. Then again, Empire representatives were there so they'd have to be flat out lying if he didn't later say that he heard it from George Lucas



He clearly swore. They mention a 7 second delay. So they cut it.

It's gonna happen - there are just some things moving in the background that I can't really talk about (or affect for that matter) that I'm waiting for so as not to do redundant work.


  Awesome! So Harmy's working on the official OOT !!


Hahaha...that's how I initially interpreted it as well ;) #wishfulthinking
