The Godfather Blu-ray Soon (September)

16
From Digitalbits.com:

Here's something you Godfather fans might want to check out this morning: A column over on Blocks and Files (a data storage news website) about the recently completed restorations of the films, done over at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging. Of key note is this comment at the end:

"The restoration effects are dramatic. The beautifully restored Godfather trilogy will be re-released in September, prompting, no doubt, hundreds of thousands of DVD sales and, hopefully, Blu-ray disk sales as well. Only with Blu-ray will the full richness of tone and detail in Coppola's masterpiece transfer to home screens. Perhaps this will be the Blu-ray offer that home movie screen viewers cannot refuse."

of these old movies on blu ray? They look incredible! Do you think all new movies are shot in 1920x1080? I certainly hope not.

5.2 - @the executive? Are u serious?
Once you see Blade Runner on Blu-ray please come back and tell me, bro, I just didn't know...lol

Blu-ray films are restored to look a gazillion times better than they ever looked or could have dreamed of looking when they were originally shot! Did you read what Warner just said above? Geeesh!

35mm film has more enough "resolution" (film doesn't have lines of resolution like digital displays, but can be comparatively figured) to fulfill 1920x1080.

Film actually comes out to around 2500x1400 resolution. The only problem is that in the past, the equipment used to transfer the film over to displays wasn't sophisticated enough to get in all of the detail.

Now that the equipment has caught up, we'll be seeing many of these old movies in silky smooth HD.

So, you want them to compress the movies more just to have 1 disc?

I'd rather it was on 3 discs, one for each movie, and without the break in Part II so they all retained the best possible quality. The point of Blu-ray isn't just to store a lot of information, it's to store files that are as uncompressed as possible.

Same with Once Upon a Time in America, that now needs to be on Blu-ray.
