I doubt the US cut will be included as a curiosity but we can hope

In a perfect world they would! Even if they include a simple rescan/resto of the US cut with Bill Conte soundtrack on blu, that would be awesome.

I think I watched the US-cut once on VHS back in the day. Not aware it was ever released on DVD. Also like to watch it again for comparison.

that US cut was only released on VHS and Laserdisc by RCA Columbia in the USA.

There was however a HD widescreen version of it screened on TV at some point.

It will never happen. I have the US Laserdisc and a DVD copy of it but Besson hates it.

That version was forced upon Luc Besson (and the Bill Conti soundtrack) by Sid Sheinberg, Universal Studios president at the time. He was Spielberg's early mentor and the same studio president who forced Gilliam to release the "Love Conquers All" version of Brazil.
