There's a project underway to restore the full length of this epic movie in time for its 2010 release on Blu-ray and DVD, not to mention a limited theatrical release in San Antonio and Dallas. There's just one thing that might prevent it from ever happening.
Funding.
Unfortunately I have been unable to obtain any and all information on how to properly send my contribution to the project.
If anyone out there is interested please help me find out.
