Would be cool if Criterion got interested. It seems to be right down their alley. They could do something similar to what they did with Mr Arkadin. Release both existing versions, then compile a recobbled cut as the main feature.

I think a Criterion would only happen if the film were restored and completed into a final theatrical re-release version. There's no doubt they'd do a fantastic job on it, though.
However, I did get a reply from one label. It may be difficult to wrangle rights from the Weinsteins (they aren't fond of licensing out), but given the treatment they've given the film, it can't mean much to the brothers. This label seems interested, though!
