Francis Ford Coppola isn't quite done fine-tuning 'Apocalypse Now.'
Published 8:15 AM EDT Aug 13, 2019The Oscar-winning director debuted a brand-new version of his classic film on Monday night at the premiere of"Apocalypse Now Final Cut," held Monday at the Arclight Cinerama Dome.
That cut was"too long," Coppola said Monday, and the original was a"perhaps too short." Now at 183 minutes, his "Final Cut," originally prepared for this year's Tribeca Film Festival, is"a version that I like." Unsure of how to costume his military-brass leading character, Coppola decided to clothe Brando in loose black pajamas. And on day 5, Brando arrived with a look of his own."I can't believe my eyes," said Coppola. "His whole head is shaved...and that meant to me, that's Kurtz!" And they got to work.
After his wife Eleanor, a documentary filmmaker, captured the locals' first water buffalo sacrifice, he decided to film the second one for final scenes of"Apocalypse Now.""I did not direct it or anything, that was the way they do it," Coppola said, noting he refused an offer to keep an extra water buffalo on standby if the first shoot didn't go to plan.
