Okay, so I finally got a copy of the unaltered soundtrack on CD to use for the soundtrack in the censored section of the film....i'll upload it in a few days time.

However,

Is there anyone out there who also wants to help with this project & has access to any other reigon release of this film other than reigon-1?


If possible lossless audio would be preferable for the track.
I have a uncensored version of the film in Divx/Xvid (not sure of the exact codec). If there isn't anyone who has the DVD, frames from my files could at least be used as place holders until a DVD is acquired.

On another note, I've read that the Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing section is edited on all DVDs:
In the lengthy shot where Nicole Kidman dances naked in front of a mirror to Chris Isaak's "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing," the second half of the shot, once Tom Cruise walks over, has been zoomed considerably for the DVD. The first half is as it was shown in theaters, with rear nudity from Kidman, but seconds before Cruise enters the frame, the image starts to zoom up and in rapidly, so that when Cruise enters, only a section from his elbow up is visible. In the theatrical version and the original unrated trailer, when Cruise enters, the frame goes well below his navel. - from the IMDb
Does anyone have the unrated trailer; or even better, some manner of bootleg of the theatrical version (which would be useful for syncing up the altered music as well) which could be used to recover this footage?

It would also be nice to restore the “We made love” line (does anyone know if Kubrick was responsible for this change?):
In the DVD/Video version, when Nicole Kidman gives her monologue about yearning for the Naval Officer, she mouths the words "We made love." But the words "You and I made love," are heard. This was done to clear up the confusion about whom she actually made love to. - from the IMDb

Also, if anyone does have a theatrical bootleg, the shower stall thing would make an interesting DVD extra, (or possibly it should be put back into the film; does anyone know if Kubrick wanted this change?):
The original theatrical version included a goof in an early scene (a boom operator was reflected on a steel shower stall post in Victor Ziegler's bathroom): this has been digitally removed on the home video releases. - from the IMDb
