"The Godfather" Trilogy Gets New Trailer

Paramount Pictures released Tuesday a new trailer for the upcoming 4K Ultra HD release of "The Godfather" trilogy.

The trailer begins with a graphic that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of the first movie.

The footage is then followed by the screening of classic lines such as Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) saying, "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse," and Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) saying, "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer,".

It then shows a montage of action scenes throughout the trilogy, focusing on each movie in the trilogy.

The trailer concludes with clips of Michael with his daughter Mary (Sofia Coppola), Michael with his siblings at his parents' house, and Vito at his office.

The "Godfather" franchise launched on March 24, 1972, and consisted of three movies. It was based on the novel by author Mario Puzo and centered around the Corleones, a powerful mob family embroiled in a battle for power in mid-’40s New York.

The upcoming release will be the first time the franchise to be released together with HDR-10 on 4K Ultra HD Digital and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.

The restoration of the films took three years to complete and was done under the direction of Francis Ford Coppola.

Paramount spent thousands of hours restoring the trilogy, ensuring it remained true to the original look and feel of the movies.

The last restoration for the trilogy was done back in 2007.

The trilogy will also be released as a 4K Ultra HD Limited Collector's Edition. The Collector's Edition will include a hardcover coffee table book that features photographs and portrait art prints.

The disc sets will include new bonus content, legacy bonus content, legacy commentaries by Coppola, and digital copies of the franchise.
