For many years I petitioned the fine folks at Criterion to assemble, with the help of Sluitzer, some sort of a cut of this film, perhaps using storyboards and voice overs to complete the missing pieces. Criterion is head and shoulders above all other DVD - Blu-Ray companies when it comes to handling delicate material such as this. Plus, they did a cracker jack release of the original Dutch "The Vanishing" some time back. Perhaps if all legal complications are worked through they can do the Blu-Ray honors on this, with an addition of an extensive Making Of..documentary included as a supplement?
