They were made to boost VHS sales and then to get a TV audience (hence one being called a Novel for Television). The Chronological versions, of which there 3 different official versions, all contain significant amounts of extra material. Sometimes, a Fan Edit really is better than the original.way better (The Hobbit being a good example), but not here. Especially Part II, which I won't spoil by explaining. The few additional shots from CODA will also be used.Įstimated running time will be 9 hrs and 51 min.ĭefinitely do not hold off watching the films as they were made. No material will be used from there to avoid removal of the AMC logo. The Saga, Trilogy VHS and AMCs HD restorations will be used to guide choices ONLY. This will include for the first time additional dialogue from Michael and the Cardinal's Vatican discussion too from my version of the Part 3, La Fine.Īll transitions from the so called Trilogy/Novel for Television/Saga edits will be re-built from clean shots in all cases (I have alread surveyed the material, and I have nothing missing). All subtitles will be consistent across all 3 movies, with additional subtitles (per my Part 3) where they ere left out (I speak Italian). I fully expect Netflix to restore this and screen at some point with maybe a few more scenes, but I'm not going to hang about and wait for that.Īll known and available HD footage will be incorporated using the extended versions HD material from numerous sources including a couple of scenes from Halover9000 s Part 1 and 2 and my Part 3 La Fine edit soon to be out there. This will run 3 mins longer due to the changes I made to part 3 and I think will be the first time the Chronological edit (with all known footage) is available in HD.

The longest version available runs 9hrs 48 min but is in SD. I also have a complete rebuild I did in SD based on a number of sources but never made available. A complete rebuild exists from Modernknife Godfather Chronological Epic 1901-1980, The - IFDB but this is in SD. My next project will be to rebuild the chronological edit of The Godfather previously available as The Godfather Trilogy on VHS only, The Godfather Saga, Godfather Epic and The Godfather: A Novel for Television.
