Apocalypse Now Redux


Apocalypse Now Redux is a 2001 extended version of Francis Ford Coppolas epic war film Apocalypse Now, which was originally released in 1979. Coppola, along with editorlongtime collaborator Walter Murch, added 49 minutes of scenes that had been cut out of the original film. It represents a significant reedit of the original version.

Much work needed to be done to the new scenes. Due to the offscreen noises during the shoot, most of the dialogue was impossible to hear. During postproduction of the film the actors were brought back to rerecord their lines known as ADR or dubbing. This was done for the scenes that made it into the original cut, but not for the deleted scenes. For the Redux version, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Sam Bottoms, Albert Hall, Frederic Forrest, and Aurore Clment were brought back to record ADR for the new scenes.New music was composed and recorded for the remade film. For example, it was thought no music had been composed for Willard and Roxannes romantic interlude in the French Plantation scene. To make matters worse, composer Carmine Coppola had died in 1991. However, the old recording and musical scores were checked and a track titled Love Theme was found. During scoring, Francis Coppola had told his father Carmine to write a theme for the scene before it was ultimately deleted. For the remake, the track was recorded by a group of synthesists.citation needed ........
