The full specs of the new Blade Runner DVD have been revealed. Film Ick have got the scoop, and I have to say this DVD is an absolute MUST HAVE.
We already know that Ridley Scott has been re-shooting scenes with Joanna Cassidy for this ultimate and definitive version of this movie. Let’s just hope he hasn’t given George Lucas any ideas about his Star Wars trilogy.
It comes packaged in a briefcase…
Disc 1 – The Final Cut (2007):
Ridley Scott’s definitive new version. Deleted and extended scenes edited into the film, extra dialogue, better – and sometimes just plain new -special effects.Disc 2 – Three Complete Versions of the film:
The 1982 US Theatrical version
The 1982 International Theatrical version
The1992 “Director’s Cut”Disc 3 – Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner
A newly minted documentary. Described as “mainstream-friendly yet meaningful”. Will cover everything from the birth of Dick’s original book to the legacy (that is, rip-offs) of the feature film.
Disc 4 – Bonus Material:
Divided into the categories Inception, Pre-production, Production, Post-production, Release and Legacy.Disc 5 – Work Print Version & More Bonus Material:
This may include Channel 4’s Edge of Bladerunner doc.Also in the box? A little lenticular image, a model spinner an origami unicorn, some photgraphic prints, a letter from Ridley Scott. Yep – that’s right. A letter from Ridley Scott. Not personally to you, but very possibly signed.
The DVD will probably released sometime around Christmas. The pic come from Ezy DVD who are an Australian site taking pre-orders on the set.

They can’t ship internationally due to “size constraints”! That just sucks!
Im sorry but I have always thought that Bladerunner is one of the most overated and boring movies of our time, everytime I watch it I fall asleep, it’s just so dull. I can’t believe Scott went back to this snooze fest, what a waste of time.
I can’t wait. Saving my pennies already.
I would expect it to come pop up at places like Amazon, HMV, Play and CD-Wow pretty soon. It won’t be an exclusive to Ezy DVD, that’s for sure.
I can see why someone wouldn’t like Blade Runner. It can be hard to get into because Scott feeds you with nothing for so long in the flick, and just relies very heavily on it’s visuals, but if you stick with it then you shall be rewarded.
It’s a very deep and enthralling film, the more you look into it.
