Blade Runner<\/em> concept painting by the great Syd Mead<\/a>.<\/p>\n Several reliable news sources are reporting that Blade Runner<\/em><\/a> is to finally receive a decent DVD release.<\/p>\n In September of 2006, Warner Home Video will release a restored and remastered version of the Blade Runner<\/em> 1992 Director’s Cut for a special four month limited release, in anticipation of a series of exciting and unprecedented releases of the film in theaters and on DVD.<\/p>\n Following a four month run of the remastered Blade Runner<\/em> DVD, this disc will be placed on moratorium, by WHV. In 2007, Warner will follow with a limited theatrical run of Blade Runner: The Final Cut<\/em>, which is being touted as Ridley Scott’s definitive version. Subsequently, there will be a multi-disc Special Edition DVD release which will contain three alternate versions of the film: the original U.S. theatrical cut, the expanded international theatrical cut and the 1992 director’s cut. “Ample, groundbreaking bonus features will also be included,” according to the WHV press release.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Blade Runner<\/em> has been on DVD already in a very shoddy edition that’s now happily deleted, a rush release from the early days of DVD. Most news reports don’t seem to mention that the re-issue of the film was held up by various legal wrangles; the Blade Runner<\/em> fan site, BRmovie.com<\/a>, details the whole sorry tale. Here’s hoping Ridley’s masterpiece will be given the same treatment as the excellent (if unfortunately named) Alien Quadrilogy<\/em><\/a> which had great transfers of the films and an insane amount of extras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blade Runner concept painting by the great Syd Mead.
