It’s on the same track as W. P. Blatty’s so-called commentary.
Said commentary was a big disappointment to me, as Blatty just delivered an essay that was in no way keyed to the film.
Then he turns it over to the dueling demons, the cute little devil and the scabby old devil.
That’s as far as I listened, but when I came back to it the commentary track was silent, You could have probably heard his car start when he snuck away.
Such footage would be great for fans but I’m sure Friedkin would have a hissy fit because I’m sure the footage would be unintentionally funny and take away certain elements. Imagine the viewing the scene where Karras tapes Reagan while she speaks in tongues without the dubbing. I imagine it to be less than effective.
