Help Wanted: John Carpenter's 'The Thing' - Network TV Broadcast Version...

I recently purchased the new Shout! Factory Blu-Ray of The Thing, which is awesome. On a second, special-features disc, the set includes the Network TV Broadcast version of the film, which is quite a bit different. Unfortunately, this version is of low quality, as they have simply transferred a master tape (or maybe even a VHS tape?), rather than recreating the cut with the new scan and other materials. I was considering recreating the TV cut with the new scan as a primary source, but I was wondering if anyone here knows about possible sources for pieces of the TV cut that are not in the original.

I’d be using the audio track from the special features Blu-Ray.

It depends. Does the Blu-ray have those parts as deleted scenes?

Indeed, it looks like the Blu-Ray doesn’t feature any other deleted scenes, or these deleted scenes in widescreen. Well, never mind. It was a nice idea.

Unless anyone knows of any other sources for the scenes, of course.

Oh, that’s an interesting idea. My personal goal with the project was to create the TV cut in widescreen and in HD. While the P&S version sounds interesting, it’s not something I’d really want.
