“Apocalypse Now” – 40th Anniversary & Restoration

Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now” will celebrate its 40th Anniversary at the Festival with a screening of a new, never-before-seen restored version of the film, entitled “Apocalypse Now: Final Cut.” Remastered from the original negative in 4K Ultra HD, the film will be brought to life with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, delivering spectacular colors and highlights that are up to 40 times brighter and blacks that are 10 times darker, and Dolby Atmos, producing moving audio that flows all around you with breathtaking realism. The Beacon Theatre will also be outfitted for this exclusive occasion with Meyer VLFC (Very Low Frequency Control), a ground-breaking loudspeaker system engineered to output audio frequencies below the limits of human hearing, giving the audience a truly visceral experience.


Nominated for eight Academy Awards, Francis Ford Coppola’s stunning vision of the heart of darkness in all of us remains a classic and compelling Vietnam War epic. Martin Sheen stars as Army Captain Willard, a troubled man sent on a dangerous and mesmerizing odyssey into Cambodia to assassinate a renegade American Colonel named Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has succumbed to the horrors of war and barricaded himself in a remote outpost. [Released August 15, 1979]

After the Screening: An evening with Francis Ford Coppola who will reflect on the film and discuss its elaborate restoration.

Time for me to upgrade to 4K and Dolby Atmos.

Just so long as the theatrical cut gets the same love and is released as well.


Dolby Atmos... yeah!!!

Another cut????

[Bates_Motel]

If it's the theatrical with the French Plantation sequence left in than ok, but everything else from Redux pretty much needs to be left on the cutting room floor.

The only other footage I'd welcome back was Dennis Hopper's death from the 5-hour workprint cut.

[HeavyHitter]

Awesome they went back to the original negative this time.

The plantation scene should be left out. It stops the film's momentum cold and feels like it's from a completely different story.

[Fat Phil]

Hard to tell if they're referring to a brand new cut or just the never before seen restoration that they're calling Final Cut.

Exact opposite opinion here. Keep everything else, ditch the plantation scene. And add the destruction scene back at the end.

I was really hoping to have the theatrical cut but I feel foolish complaining. I’m really excited for this.

I'll be satisfied as long as the theatrical cut is included.

Do you know that this release won't include it?

[KRW1]

I'd be amazed if the theatrical cut wasn't included, but even so, I'm in. I don't like Redux that much but it's ok. I never thought we'd see this in Atmos so hugely excited; if it's done right, it ought to be incredible.

I would like to see the end destruction scene restored, as that's the version I grew up with, taped off the TV!

Day one!

I don’t think anyone knows for sure but the wording sounds like a new cut. At least that’s what I understood.

[bookcase]

I won't buy this without the theatrical cut.

[Gacivory]

I guess unpopular opinion, the plantation scene is my favorite scene!

I love it too. Really goes with the whole traveling backwards in time that the movie does.

[HeavyHitter]

I'm going to speculate (hope!) this will be similar to when only Redux was released exclusively to theaters, but both versions were home released.

If that’s the case I’ll be very pleased. You would think thats what they will do.
