I feel like a bit of an outsider skimming this because I'm over here thinking about more niche content, not big budget studio stuff for the most part.
I'd like to hope at some point we get a new update as to how things are going for the original cut of Event Horizon because I'd love to see that. The same can be said for the fabled "Blue Man" scene from Children of the Corn (1984) that was cut for runtime purposes. It's a shame too because on a COTC fan site, they managed to find the actor who played the character and he spoke about how he got a call from the director and was told about the situation. It's been almost 40 years and it still hasn't been included on any home video releases. I had a booklet with my DVD back in the 2000s and I don't think it included the surviving production stills from the scene either, but it would be rad if it did.
To get more distant and underground, it would be anything related to Toe Tag Pictures / Toe Tag Inc. I need to do some serious brushing up to see if anything changed or I've just been in the dark too long. With the release of August Underground I have, Fred Vogel said in the director's commentary for either the film or the making of documentary that, IIRC, the original masters for the film were lost for a while - but I think they were found. The series has some alternate takes, but they aren't too special or noteworthy from what a friend told me when I brought it up to him. One thing I remember hearing as well is that there's some SFX shots TTP/TTI did for Murder-Set-Pieces that weren't used and might be lost now - unless they were included in the director's cut or uncut version of the film, which is long OOP now. I don't know if Fred or anyone from his team (like Jeremi Cruise who is his SFX partner and Cristie Whiles who did photography work while also starring in the AU trilogy) has anything from those days since it's been 20 years now.
