Were you like me and got a little disappointed that The Godfather won't also be available in its mammoth, chronologically re-edited Epic version for DVD? Apparently Coppola touched upon that fact at the premiere party a couple of days ago.

The director/wine-maker stated that "The Godfather Epic" would not be released on DVD because his company did not have all of the necessary elements available to match the quality of the upcoming box set's high definition transfers. Thus, the decision was made to present the additional footage on the fifth supplementary disc.
