This is not going to happen. My guesses about behind the scenes will have to remain just that: pure speculation. I'll also not find out anything about how such amazing sets were achieved. It's been probably 25 years now since what I see in Legend actually happened and I have to face up to the fact that I'm probably not ever going to know any more than I do now. It will forever remain obscured, a secret - which saddens me. I just have to keep watching the 10-year old taped-off-TV VHS copy I have which wears out a little each time I watch it (but which at least has the right music).
There's really not a hope in hell of a Legend special edition as I envisaged - it's been too long, the film isn't highly enough regarded and it seems there was too much complicated harranging with the studio during post production.

Because there is
. It's a two disc set that has BOTH versions included. It also has a fairly extensive BTS documentary (no, Tommy and his ego aren't in it, but all the other major players are). It also has lost scenes, storyboards, trailers, tv spots, photo galleries, production notes, a Brian Ferry video, as well as the uncut/unedited version of the Tangerine Dream soundtrack.
Now, a DVD I want to see happen is Max Headroom. Both the movie
and the series.
