If the only time you’ve ever seen The Godfather Part II is on the big screen…at your house? Well, here’s your chance to keep your friends close and see it on the really, really big screen. Because on April 19th — that’s next Thursday — as a celebration of the Coppola restoration, The Godfather Part II will be showing in theaters.
Save me a cannoli, willya?
Cinemark had done a special showing of the original Godfather, and according to Cinemark exec James Meredith, the “response to the first Godfather movie in Cinemark XD was incredible, so it is natural to present The Godfather Part 2“. Sounds good to me.
Here’s the deets straight from the official press release:
The Coppola Restoration of “The Godfather Part 2” 40th Anniversary Edition as a project began in 2006 between Paramount Pictures and the director. Archivist Robert Harris joined the project, followed by the original cinematographer of the film Gordon Willis, to complete the team who worked arduously on the film for over a year going through the original prints, re-release prints, and negatives, shot by shot, foot by foot, frame by frame and even sprocket hole by sprocket hole.
A full list of participating Cinemark XD locations, advance ticket purchases and show time information can be found at www.cinemark.com.
Cinemark Egyptian will have showings at 2pm and 7pm. This is #32 on the American Film Institute’s list of 100 Years, 100 Movies, a damn fine achievement for any film, let alone a sequel. Catch this if you can!
