Shown on TNT last month, the AFI’s salute to the Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola is being replayed as part of a nightlong tribute. An A-list Hollywood gathering including Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman and Adam Driver is joined by Coppola’s family members, with Josh Groban performing the theme from The Godfather in Italian. Followed by a screening of Coppola’s 1979 epic Vietnam allegory Apocalypse Now (9:15/8:15c), a replay of the AFI tribute at midnight/11c and the 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness (1:15 am/12:15c), co-directed by Coppola’s wife Eleanor, about the turbulent filming of Apocalypse Now.
