Of all Kubrick's films, this is the one where probably the most deleted material exists simply because Kubrick didn't live to dispose of it.
That said, I think it's highly unlikely that his estate would sanction the release of any of that material, as Kubrick had a pretty strict policy of not doing that. Given his perfectionist tendencies, it's not hard to understand why.
Still, this would be wonderful as a Special Edition.
There was a pretty good doc made by C4 at the time of release called THE LAST MOVIE which was moving and illuminating.
A cast and crew commentary, discussing Kubrick's work methods, would be fantastic. And a secondary commentary by a film scholar (or, even better, someone like Scorsese) would be particularly interesting on this most difficult and elusive of Kubrick's films.
A package like that would be fantastic. I hold out virtually no hope of it happening but stranger things have happened.
