Francis Ford Coppola and Paramount Home Entertainment held a press conference and street delicate in Brooklyn, and yours truly was there! The appealing news, of course, was announcing the release of THE GODFATHER DVD COLLECTION on October 9, 2001! If the preview of the plot is any indication, then I must say this will be the crown jewel in any DVD collection!

The three films will only be released together in this state. The Godfather and The Godfather Fraction III will each be on one disc, and The Godfather Fragment II will acquire two discs. The first of the helpful news? Francis Coppola has recorded full-lenth audio commentaries for all three films!

But wait, there’s a fifth disc that will blow your socks off! Check this out — the bonus disc contains 3+ hours worth of special features, including: > “The Godfather Family: A Discover Inside” documentary > “Francis Coppola’s Notebook”, an inside behold at taking the book to shroud! > “On Status” with production designer Dean Tavoularis! > “The Godfather Leisurely The Scenes” 1971 featurette! > “The Cinematography of The Godfather”! > “The Music of The Godfather” — two featurettes! > “Coppola and Puzo on Screenwriting”! > Storyboards from GF2 and GF3! > “The Corleone Family Tree” character and cast bios! > Academy Award® acceptance speeches! > Photo galleries with captions! > Theatrical trailers! > Filmmaker bios! > Corleone Family timeline, with real-life events mixed in! > Never-seen alternate opening of GF3! > And “all” of the extra footage found in the televised Godfather Saga!

The represent quality looked unbelievable — Coppola’s American Zoetrope did a unbelievable job restoring the films! From what I could hiss, the sound quality was perfect, and the on-screen menus looked sizable. And the DVD packaging looks very nice.

All three films are in widescreen format with English 5.1 surround sound, French mono, and English subtitles.

Perhaps the only “abominable” news I heard was that there were no plans at this point to release the chronological version on DVD. Francis said that the films were meant to be seen with the flashbacks, and I tend to agree. The biggest plus of having The Godfather Trilogy or Yarn on tape, or watching The Godfather Saga on TV, was all the extra footage included. Well, the bonus disc in The Godfather DVD Collection contains “all” of the extra footage, and even something we’ve never seen anywhere before: an alternate opening for The Godfather Portion III. Francis didn’t give a firm “no” though; he cited technical reasons for not being able to include all the extra footage on DVD: the different scenes are in various levels of production (”they weren’t mixed and scored”), making it difficult to add them seemlessly with today’s technology. Maybe, but they seemed to be okay in the boxed sets and on TV to me.

This is gonna be titanic!! I can’t wait! Amazon doesn’t inform you what you’re getting, so here is the scoop as I know it …

The trilogy will accelerate across four discs, with GODFATHER II on two discs, and all are in anamorphic widescreen with running audio commentary from Francis Ford Coppola.

The fifth disc will feature 3+ hours worth of bonus material, including Coppola’s notebook on adapting the Mario Puzo new for the mask
