What I understood was, that the "Titanic"-documentary was more or less "done", but then dropped for some reason (or several reasons) in the last minute. But of course, I could be wrong. The rumors were kinda indicating, that perhaps the documentary was "too revealing" or something - and not always in the positive way. I fully understand the "Leo"-part, but perhaps that was not the only reason..
While I love some of the extras on the current CE DVD (Audio commentaries, deleted and extended scenes..), extras like "Fox Special"-doc and "EPK Press Kit"-featurettes (also "HBO First Look"-featurette, that was included in the non-US releases) didn´t really felt that "special" after all.. Too, well, "PR". So yes, something was clearly missing from the current DVD and that something was probably a long, in-depth "Making Of"-documentary. It just didn´t feel "complete" in extras wise.

I can live with this, no problem. The film is just fine as it is (I have grown to love it, actually). Then again, I have no objections of the (even) longer cut either..
