Francis Scissorhands?: A Paramount spokeswoman denied a report in Thursday’s Hollywood Reporter claiming that director Francis Ford Coppola further tinkered with “The Godfather Part III”--cutting an additional two minutes--after the press saw the film early this month. The film was 164 minutes when shown to an early December test audience in Seattle, but the press and public saw the same 162-minute version, Paramount said.
