To be fair to Francis Coppola, he did originally cast Winona Ryder, but she pulled out at the last minute. She claims that she had a respiratory infection and couldn't work, but rumors at the time were that she actually had a nervous breakdown.
Needing a quick replacement, Coppola made the mistake of thinking that he could guide his daughter into giving an adequate performance in what was going to be a small role anyway. Unfortunately, he couldn't.

She had just come off a string of movies in quick succession: Beetlejuice, Heathers, Great Balls of Fire!, 1969, Edward Scissorhands, Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael, and Mermaids. The story goes that she was suffering exhaustion and had a breakdown just before shooting on Godfather III was supposed to start.

This limited release, like Luca Brasi, will "sleep with the fishes".
Really unnecessary.

I'll never understand why people want the chronological edit released. It absolutely ruins the brilliance of Part II.

I'm sure that most people who would be inclined to own these movies on Blu-ray already have the theatrical versions. If Paramount expects anyone to double-dip, they'll have to offer something more compelling than a simple repackage of old discs.

True, but it's an interesting variant and a part of the film's history.

Instead of the chronological order version, I wouldn't mind extended cuts of GF I & II with the deleted scenes back in.

My thoughts exactly.
While THE GODFATHER III has its faults, I think that it's a worthy successor to the first two films. The final moments played against Cavalleria Rusticana's "Intermezzo" were as poetic as cinema gets.
