This re-edited version is, understandably, controversial as it strays from the original sequence of the film that Coppola constructed. The Godfather Epic covers all of the same territory as the original movies, but it tells the story from beginning to end: from Vito’s childhood in 1902 all the way through to Michael’s ascent. However, there’s a big twist in this new version. The latter film, which received six Oscars, was the first sequel to win Best Picture. The Godfather II - a rare mix of sequel and prequel - stands up to the original (against all odds), both delving into Michael’s expansion of the empire, as well as cleverly going back to the beginning to see father Vito rose from a kid in Sicily to a Mafia kingpin in New York City. The first film, as most will recall, details the complex tale of Vito handing over his powerful Mafia organization to his son Michael. That’s certainly plenty of time to catch up with the Corleone family, led by Vito and - later, of course - his youngest son Michael. The re-edited cut, called The Godfather Epic, combines The Godfather and The Godfather II with cut footage from the theatrical releases, totaling over 7 hours of Godfather action. Fans, its time to really put your mettle to the test.Ī 424-minute long version of Francis Ford Coppola’s legendary crime drama series is now streaming on HBO Go and HBO Now.
