Sorry if this has been covered, but: Have any of you watched the Godfather III trailer on the GF bonus DVD? It's full of early footage from the original filming! Most of it is footage we either haven't seen, or scenes that are different to how we know them; it's like a trailer to a film we don't know. For example, Vincent spitting before Altobello, telling him "I'm a Corleone!" And Connie saying "With my help you can save the Corleones" sounds a lot cooler than her "DOO IT!". Watch it, it's pretty interesting.
'The Godfather, Pt.III' trailer was released during the summer 1990. At the time, Francis Coppola kept re-writing the script from day to day, which meant re-shoots as well. By the time the trailer had premiered, the crux of the story had changed. It was pretty much the only trailer released to promote the movie. The studio had put together a trailer based on material already shot, it was changed in editing as well.
