I asked Morgan Creek's twitter account about the prospects of a new EXORCIST III Blu-Ray with Blatty's legendary original cut (before the "exorcism" Nicol Williamson reshoots):
...and they replied with:@andredursin
Morgan__Creek is there a chance one day we could see Blattys original version of Exorcist III or another Blu Ray with better sound?
They also replied to a specific question about it with this reply:@andredursin
Funny you should mention that!
I would imagine the sales of NIGHTBREED might have opened Morgan Creek's eyes about the potential sales of a new EXORCIST III with both cuts -- and like I said to them, I'd even like the theatrical cut with the original stereo audio (the Blu-Ray & DVD have a crap 5.1 remix that outputs nearly all of the dialogue/effects out of the center channel only!).Stay tuned for more info about this!
Can't wait, many of us have been waiting to see Blatty's "real" EXORCIST III ever since the film was released. As it is, the theatrical cut is very, very good -- but many of us have wondered if what he originally shot was even better.
