RESTORATION DETAILS • Over 300 cartons of film were scrutinized to find the best possible resolution for every frame of all three films. • Over 4,000 hours were spent repairing film stains, tears, and other anomalies in the negatives. • Over 1,000 hours were spent on rigorous color correction to ensure the high dynamic range tools were respectful of the original vision of Coppola and cinematographer Gordon Willis. • In addition to the 5.1 audio approved by Walter Murch in 2007, the original mono tracks on The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II have been restored. • All work was overseen by Coppola.
