With so many nerds on this forum it's a safe bet that most of you have seen Blade Runner and love this classic by Ridley Scott with all your hearts, as do I.
So recently I was pondering the fact that I don't actually own it on dvd and what a tragedy that is, so I checked a few sites for copies and at first was somewhat surprised to find that there aren't any new copies available, you can only get it used.
Certainly some of you already know why, but for those of you not in the know the film was released over the years in a few different versions. Primarily the original U.S. release and then later the director's cut. However due to a lapse in the publishing rights for the film, it's been in limbo for over a year with no one producing new copies.
The good news is that this is finally about to change but the details are a bit vague. From what I've been able to find, it sounds like Blade Runner: Final Cut will be released in theaters sometime this fall to be followed by a limited release of a special 5 disk collection that includes all three versions of the film.
On the one hand, I'm jazzed that this masterpiece is finally being re-released on dvd. However a 5 disc collection with all 3 versions also strikes me as overkill and it'll likely cost a significant wad of cash. I've also heard that the Final Cut version not only has added footage, but I've read rumors that the Vangelis score has been replaced with a new score by Clint Mansell. Keep in mind, I read this on youtube for the trailer for Final Cut so take that with a grain of salt unless you hear it from a more reputable source. Personally I think Vangelis' score was fucking brilliant and it would be difficult to top his work in my opinion, but then you also apparently get the two previous versions with the set so I guess you can just watch the one you like most (but I'd really prefer to just buy the one version I like most instead of all 3).
There's apparently going to be a big announcement about Final Cut at ComicCon, I'm dying to know more details about this.
Some more info on the upcoming release:
From May, 06
from June, 07 and mainly about the ComicCon announcement.

I mean, I tried once but it was not the most inopportune time to. Couldn't stay awake.

BUT THEN AGAIN WHO DOES

I've been trying to reach you, but your extension cord doesn't reach that far.
i might just have to go buy it
Though there are so many "must see" movies that I haven't watched yet, that this is just one of the pile.

haha good job not reading the OP urian
Next to anything with "Star Wars" in the title.
I like the old version of Blade Runner with the gumshoe narration. Fuck that Director's Cut bullshit.
i suppose i ought to see it one of these days
since i finally just saw star wars
Watching Rutger Hauer stand in the rain in his undies and scream was just kind of weird.
but it's so hackneyed!
sushi.
that's what my wife called me.
cold. dead. fish.
good job not reading your face
oh gof
Yeah, but I have this special place in my heart for Film Noir, and it kind of gave it that sort of feeling. Like Film Noir in the future.
Say what you like, I thought it was fucking cool.
Now you can't find a copy of the original cut to save your dick.
yeah my prof says that
but he's also letting me write my term paper on blade runner soo

THANK FUCKING GOD.
God yes Bluray for the win.
Dark dystopian futures were quite hard to focus on.
If anything, the idea should not have been made explicit.
Fuck that.
