All three Godfather movies are coming to Blu-ray Disc on September 23, 2008, two years after the format launched.

Both The Godfather and The Godfather Part II underwent extensive frame-by-frame digital restoration that took more than a year to complete and was personally overseen by director Francis Ford Coppola. In addition to those two films, The Godfather.  The Coppola Restoration Collection includes a newly remastered version of The Godfather Part III.

The four-disc Blu-ray Disc collection includes an array of new special features, from five documentaries (also presented in high-definition) to a Godfather family tree, crime organization chart and four short films on the The Godfather. The new extras will be on the fourth disc, along with all the special features included on the trilogy’s initial 2001 DVD release.

If Blu-ray doesn’t excite you, the Godfather films also will be available on standard DVD as The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration DVD Collection, with five discs — including one of the old special features and another of the new.
