Okay so for those who might not know, the Reigon-1 release of EWS was digitally censored during the orgy scene with the studios going through and digitally inserting people to mask the nudity. There is about 65 seconds of this…

The European & Reigon-4 releases don’t have this censoring…HOWEVER

ALL of them do are missing the recital of the Bhagavad Gita because Warner Brothers caved to Hindu groups and removed it from all subsequent releases —> see here: EWS

However! According to IMDB & one/two Amazon.com customers, the missing piece IS on the CD soundtrack…

Track 9 (very bottom)

SO, is there anyone here that might be interested in making an edit of this using the uncensored picture from the European/etc releases, but also somehow re-incorporating the recital of the Bhagavad Gita back into the scene as well by using the audio from the CD?

I don’t have either the know-how to do this, or the Reigon-2/etc release, but I think I can get ahold of the CD sountrack & upload the audio…

Is there anyone with that might be interested in doing such a project to restore Kubrick’s last vision?
