They have not, but they shot footage for it recently (to replace a cheesy death scene, I think) so it's definitely still coming.

It's not all that cheesy. It's cold blooded.

I love this movie, but I don't need a 5 disc copy of it. 3 is more than enough for me. That means it'll have enough good versions of the film in case the new one is subpar, plus some extras that I most likely won't watch.

I hope we can get some bonus prize with the box set. A model of those Spinner cars or some type of bust

Do you own any 4 disc Ridley DVD's? cause the 4 disc BHD, KoH, And Gladiator are too me even better than Lord Of the Rings EE's cause Ridleys docs on the films dont shy away from anything and better than most movies these days.

I own the Kingdom Of Heaven Director's Cut and it was well worth it (great holiday movie, btw.) I even watched some of the extras and they were as good as the Jackson stuff. I just don't want a big ass copy of Blade Runner that requires a pin number to open.

It is one of Scott's best films, so I'll up the ante to 4. But 5? No fucking way.

Not cheesy, I guess, but you can tell it was fake. I mean, there IS a reason they re-shot it.

The 'final cut' sounds pretty awesome, and if it lives up to its potential, no one will really need more than 2 discs. Except freaks, of course, and that's why they make those 5 disc monsters in limited amounts.

I'd be happy with a well-treated transfer of the Director's Cut. The rest is gravy. But I don't care for the special packaging, for this or any other movie. They don't fit well on the shelf.

Item not found.

Searching Blade Runner on their site results in older editions only....got a working link, or at least tell us what was there?

Cool news. I've seen some photos of an additional scene where Deckard goes to visit his fellow Blade Runner (wounded in the opening scene) in the hospital, so maybe that will be in the "final cut."
I wouldn't be surprised if there are more un-earthed deleted scenes we've never heard of (i.e. the original opening of Legend!)

The deleted Hospital scene in question...

Disc 1 - The Final Cut (2007):

* Ridley Scott’s definitive new version of his science-fiction masterpiece includes added & extended scenes, added lines and new and cleaner special effects.

Disc 2 - 3 Complete Film Versions:

* ‘82 U.S. Theatrical version
* ‘82 International Theatrical version
* ‘92 Director’s Cut

Disc 3 - “Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner” Documentary

* Newly created documentary: Through interviews with the cast and crew, critics and colleagues, this feature-length documentary provides a mainstream-friendly yet meaningful in-depth look at Blade Runner’s literary genesis, its challenging production and controversial legacy. When all is said and done, this will be the definitive documentary on the film.

Disc 4 – Enhanced Content Bonus: (TBC)

* INCEPTION - Featurettes and galleries devoted to Philip K. Dick, the birth of Cyberpunk and adapting the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

* PRE-PRODUCTION - Featurettes and galleries devoted to script development, conceptual design and abandoned sequences.

* PRODUCTION - Featurettes and galleries devoted to principal photography and locations.

* POST-PRODUCTION - Featurettes and galleries devoted to deleted scenes, music and visual effects.

* RELEASE - Featurettes and galleries devoted to marketing and reaction including Trailers, TV Spots and Promotional Featurettes

* LEGACY - Featurettes and galleries devoted to the film’s resurrection and impact.

Disc 5 - Work Print Version & Enhanced Content:

* Including the rarely seen Work Print version and potentially the 52 min. Channel Four (UK) documentary which was the first serious documentary created for the film.

Additionally, the set will come packaged in a limited “Blade Runner” briefcase holding the five-disc digipack with foil-enhanced and embossed slipcase. The goodies inside will include a lenticular motion image from the original feature, a collectible model spinner, an origami unicorn, a collection of photographs and a letter from Ridley Scott. Holy shit.

Fucking awesome (assuming this version is available in the U.S.). The only thing missing is a commentary, but I suppose I'll make do. I can't wait to see the pre-production art.

So how expensive are we talking here?

Its Ridley, theres def gonna be commentaries, big question is did he get Ford to comment and was he in a good mood.

Well if you convert the price the aussies gave before they pulled the page about 120 - 150, I posted a range cause who knows when the dollar has moved so much in a short time.

If the briefcase is metal, it would change my opinion on it, but we shall see if the US even gets it or not, I assume if we do it will be a store exclusive.

Remeber Nexus we get too see it on the BIG screen first before DVD, which is making me giddear then waiting for ESB SE in 97, the question though is how big of release will WB give it?

Inside the new HD-DVD Matrix boxed set that's coming out on tuesday there's a flyer stating that it'll be out on HD DVD in October.

I just ordered this on HD DVD in a giant box set like the one above, but the final US VERSION of the set is different. For instance, that AMAZING origami unicorn cover art didn't make it to the shelves

 

Does anyone know what the deal is? That is some of the coolest BLADE RUNNER stuff ever

 

PS The final version of the set also had a different handle on the case and wasn't aged looking, and the folder of concept art is plain black where as here it's made to look like a BR case file

I have an HD DVD player, and no BLU RAY. It was a fraction of the cost to get it on HD DVD

Blu-ray players are getting cheaper, you should go for it. Just got one for my mom for 70 bucks on ebay. It was a Sony, it wasn't bad.

That's getting closer to a price that is doable at some point in the future for me, but right now at least I'm broke (my bank account is in danger of being closed for lack of funds), and even if I do get a BLU RAY player, it's going to have to come after I save for a new TV, ETC
