In celebration of Blade Runner's 25th anniversary, director Ridley Scott has gone back into post production to create the long-awaited definitive new version. Blade Runner: The Final Cut, spectacularly restored and remastered from original elements and scanned at 4K resolution, will contain never-before-seen added/extended scenes, added lines, new and improved special effects, director and filmmaker commentary, an all-new 5.1 Dolby® Digital audio track and more. Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos, Joanna Cassidy, Sean Young, and Daryl Hannah are among some 80 stars, filmmakers and others who participate in the extensive bonus features. Among the bonus material highlights is Dangerous Days, a brand new, three-and-a-half-hour documentary by award-winning DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika, with an extensive look into every aspect of the film: its literary genesis, its challenging production and its controversial legacy. The definitive documentary to accompany the definitive film version.
The Ultimate Collector's Edition will be presented in a unique 5-disc digi-package with handle which is a stylish version of Rick Deckard's own briefcase. In addition, each briefcase will be individually numbered and in limited supply. Included is a lenticular motion film clip from the original feature, miniature origami unicorn figurine, miniature replica spinner car, and collector's photographs, as well as a signed personal letter from Sir Ridley Scott.
Disc One
RIDLEY SCOTT'S ALL-NEW "FINAL CUT" VERSION OF THE FILM
Restored and remastered with added & extended scenes, added lines, new and cleaner special effects and all new 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio. Also includes:
* Commentary by Ridley Scott
* Commentary by executive producer/co-screenwriter Hampton Fancher and co-screenwriter David Peoples; producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber
* Commentary by visual futurist Syd Mead; production designer Lawrence G. Paull, art director David L. Snyder and special photographic effects supervisors Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich and David Dryer
Disc Two
DOCUMENTARY DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING BLADE RUNNER
A feature-length authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential cinema landmark. Cast, crew, critics and colleagues give a behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the film -- from its literary roots and inception through casting, production, visuals and special effects to its controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history.
Disc Three
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION
This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene.
1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version.
1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT
The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.
Disc Four
BONUS DISC - "Enhancement Archive": 90 minutes of deleted footage and rare or never-before-seen items in featurettes and galleries that cover the film's amazing history, production teams, special effects, impact on society, promotional trailers, TV spots, and much more.

Disc Five
WORKPRINT VERSION
This rare version of the film is considered by some to be the most radically different of all the Blade Runner cuts. It includes an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more. Also includes:
* Commentary by Paul M. Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner
* Featurette "All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut"
so, I'm thinking if you've been meaning to pick this movie up, now's the time. and if you already own it, buy it again why not?

Buy it.
For me?
and didnt we have a thread about this months ago
fortunately for you, Crybaby McKilljoy, there is a standard sized dvd case inside the briefcase.
yes
but it wasn't out months ago was it, you mollusk
not true
coolest packaging ever was the special edition release of Reservoir dogs
the outside was a tin shaped like a can of gasoline.
inside was the DVD sleeve, shaped like a book of matches.
also, I've still never seen Blade Runner, in any cut.
it's a pretty good movie you can rent it for about 99 cents what's the deal
if you want all the fancy shit yeah
if you just want the ultimate cleaned up cut of the movie that's being sold seperately
edit actually it seems they have all the discs minus the briefcase and the cool extra shit and it's actually a lot cheaper but nowhere near as cool
never got around to it
one of those things that I've always wanted to see, but the opportunity never came up
and I don't really rent movies very much
You're not missing much. Well, Rutger and Harrison are pretty awesome, but that's a given...
That was my intention!
generally I've found that non new-releases are cheap as hell to rent, a buck or maybe two
even less if you want to stoop to vhs
unless you didn't like that either
I mean it's cute that it looks like gasoline and all but that's only more awesome than the Blade Runner packaging if you've never seen Blade Runner
which is really a shame
you should at least read the book or something man
Not at any video store I have ever been to. It's like, four or five bucks at blockbuster and it might be a bit cheaper at the local place that is ridiculously out of the way to go to, but I know it's at least three bucks.
Anyways, I like this movie and I know a bunch of other assholes on this forum like it so I AM JUST BEING AN INFORMER
but I'm not spending $texas just to get some extra dialogue and a scene at the end where Ford turns to the camera and says, "I'M NOT A REPLICANT, GODDAMNIT."
LET ME BE THE BRIDGE BETWEEN YOUR TWO PEOPLES
better than the 6 hour long versions of the LOTR movies
jesus, I'd kill myself before I watched a movie that long
shit, I could have read the books faster
you'll still absorb all the information and the battle scenes will be that much better
in the sand when all of a sudden
you look down and see a...
no bigger than two meters
a grue?
live real deep, as big as a man.
I'm beginning to think that you don't have a Blade Runner script open in another tab!
hey
I'm not saying it's a BAD movie, I just don't get it - yet. I've heard that the missing noir narration from the version I currently own will add something, so I'll probably pick up the non-briefcase version of this release just to see.
I'm a sucker for special-edition shit anyway.
