TWOK is highly regarded by the leadership at Paramount or at least it was back in the day. That's why it gets trotted out for annual screenings, while the rest rarely get shown in a cinema these days. TUC has never been popular and it was only greenlit because Paramount wanted to axe TOS to make way for TNG films and that couldn't be done with the previous film being what it was. That being said, we have no idea what the current thoughts are at the corporate offices, beyond "Trek forward and Trek forever!", so it's possible that we get the Director's Cut or whatever, with a full Nick Meyer remastering and deluxe presentation like TWOK got.
