When Francis Ford Coppola first offered Paramount Pictures the third and final installment of The Godfather Trilogy, he titled it “The Death of Michael Corleone.” The studio refused. This was one of the most anticipated films of all time, and it wound up being synonymous with cinematic disappointment, undeservedly. The director will finally get to show his cut of the film and take the taint off The Godfather: Part III. For a start, he renamed it Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone, a title almost long enough to make you forget the original. The new edit and restoration of the final film in the mob family epic will have a limited theatrical release in December, and will be available on Digital home entertainment platforms and disc following.
The new version of The Godfather: Part III achieves Coppola and screenwriter Mario Puzo’s original vision for the finale.
