Francis Ford Coppola hits the red carpet alongside Laurence Fishburne and Martin Sheen while hitting the red carpet at the premiere of their film Apocalypse Now: Final Cut held at ArcLight Cinerama Dome on Monday (August 12) in Hollywood.
The Oscar-winning director debuted a brand-new version of his classic film and was also joined by other leading stars Albert Hall and Frederic Forrest alongside Laurence and Martin.
This is the second time Apocalypse Now has undergone a notable update. In 2001, Francis Ford Coppola released “Apocalypse Now Redux” with 49 minutes of additional footage.
That cut was “too long,” Francis Ford Coppola said at the premiere (via USA Today), 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.”
