Here is HBO's trailer for this presentation:Īlthough the "Epic" title is new, this is not the first time these movies have been presented like this. Both films are padded out with deleted scenes, which the real draw here. Thankfully, The Godfather Part III is nowhere to be found. The Godfather Epic blends both movies into one seven-and-a-half-hour marathon, presenting those 1917 scenes first and concluding in late '50s. Part two acts as both a sequel and prequel, following Michael's rise to power (and his descent as a human being) while we flash back to the early days of young Vito ( Robert De Niro) in 1917. The first film takes place from 1945 through 1955 and chronicles the final days of Don Vito Corleone ( Marlon Brando) as he slowly hands the reins of his organization over to his son, Michael ( Al Pacino).
