Is there a lot more to be seen?


Does Rick Rosenthal own more footage that's never been released?.The reason I'm curious,is I've heard Pamela Susan shoop mention a scene in the hospital,where Michael is hiding inside a closet watching,and also I've seen a publicity photo of a scene with reporters arriving at the hospital.It would be wonderful if these and others still exist to maybe even make his own director's cut sometime.

Here's a good article on the producers cut vs the original cut.

Thank you for the link,interesting article,I have seen that amc cut on YouTube but it seems like a bit of a confusing mess with those alternate takes and scenes at different points,though there is a few I like and could see the benefit to the movie of including them.Maybe the TV cut is closer to Rosenthal's original vision,but I've still got a feeling they might be more shot footage available due to what cast members remember and publicity photos.
