You’re definitely not the first to post that bit about what Edwards said (but I think this might be the first time I’ve seen someone post a slashdot link in about ten years! haha)

There are discussions in a few threads here already. Basically, it is nothing confirmed at this point and Edwards didn’t go into any real detail about the version he saw.

I found it pretty disturbing that he described all these reels of 35mm film laying around in the archive, including out takes and such, that had never been digitally scanned whatsoever. He used some of that footage in the film (I think I have to leave it at that for now, with the spoiler rules in place). Hopefully all of the footage is being dealt with properly now, but I doubt it.
