I've got some mostly preservation ideas:
1) The
full Smallville Pilot in HD, i.e., including the scenes from the original broadcast that were cut for time in reruns, and are only available in the DVD releases, and as an SD special feature in the Blu-ray set.
2) The Director's Cut of Wolfgang Petersen's
Troy, with
the theatrical cut's Achilles/Hector duel restored.
3)
Terminator 2 - Optimal Edition: basically the Extended Cut, but minus the Kyle Reese dream and the daytime scene of Dyson's family, and with the 3D remastered version's face swap/a deepfake of the Terminator stunt double during the motorcycle canal jump landing.
And I've got an idea for a
slimmed-down Return of the Jedi, which starts with a cold open of Vader warning the Death Star officer the Emperor is coming, then goes from a new crawl to the sail barge, and then keeps the rest more or less intact while paring the Ewoks down to a functional minimum. Finally, Vader wouldn't speak once his helmet is removed, and no Force Ghosts would appear at the celebration (and no galactic montage), keeping the focus on the heroes.
And if someone could please do an HD rebuild of my
Film World War project, with all its 200 film and TV sources, that'd be swell.
(Oh, and my
The Mummy Returns edit,
Year of the Scorpion, too.)
