The upcoming Koch Media 6-disc set from Germany will include all four official versions of the film, including the Director's Cut, US and European theatrical versions in HD and the Sci-Fi cut in SD.

Very nice, but I don't see where it indicates which versions are HD and which ones are SD. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't end up only including the European and US theatrical cuts in HD and all the other versions in SD. Even the Region 3 version shows various signs that it was put together from multiple sources, so it's uncertain whether enough HD resources exist to reconstruct the full Director's Cut in 1080p.

Also, that site lists the audio as Dolby Digital 2.0 only, which is kind of disappointing if true.

Don't get me wrong, though.  Even if some of the additional footage from one of the international releases was included in HD, that would be a bonus.
