It would be interesting to see the alternate ending and makeup tests but the film was such a massive disaster and such a miserable shoot I doubt anyone would even want to look for them. If they still exist, Fabulous wouldn't be likely to go that extra mile.

What does a miserable shoot have to do with not including extras? I would think enough time has passed to open that book no?

This movie has received standard releases in the past, I would welcome a collector's edition, but if the demand isn't there, it probably wont happen.

A lot, especially with a forgotten flop. It's a film that damaged a lot of careers at the time so you're not likely to get anyone involved wanting to do interviews or commentaries (even quarter of a century on many people won't even talk about their hits if it was a really bad working experience) or the director or producer pushing for elements that weren't good enough to be included in a picture that was was widely disliked to be put on DVD or Bluray. The studio will just look at the numbers and put the minimum effort into it without anyone they need to appease or who loves the film pushing for a special edition, especially in a declining market, which is why we don't have special editions of Town and Country or Pluto Nash.

It's not a picture that's been rediscovered or become a cult, it's just something that'll get licensed out as a minimum effort part of a p;ackage back-catalogue title with the same elements they used the last time rather than something that'll get time, money and effort spent on it. Unless there's a really big fan of the film at Fabulous, a label not exactly known for pushing the boat out on extras, there's not much hope of more than a trailer. Now if it had been Indicator...
