My Bloody Valentine has me hoping that maybe the film footage wasn't destroyed, but all signs and people in the know say it was. On the bright side, they said the same about MBV and (some/most of) it was discovered. Just like Jason, hope might not be dead even though it seems to be.

Years ago, Anchor Bay released an Army of Darkness DVD called The Official Bootleg Edition (and later included it in the DVD Boomstick Edition). This was an extended version of Army of Darkness with an alternate ending. The extended footage was kind of raw in some places. It was plainly obvious that it was spliced back into the film and have not been treated in years, yet they still released the cut. I think that if they did it for Army of Darkness, they can do it for The New Blood. Call it something like Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood: The Video Nasty Edition! Market it with the consumer knowing full well that the video on the newly inserted footage will not look as good as the footage that has been preserved over the years, but this is as good as it is going to get. I think it can be done.
