Blade Runner<\/i>.<\/p>\n
An Australian retailer posted information on the forthcoming Blade Runner<\/i> Ulimate Collection DVD set<\/a>. Five discs, five different versions of the film. Documentaries on the making of the film, on Philip K. Dick, and a pretty damn cool case. (Though I expect we’ll get a far less exciting cardboard case here in North America–how dare<\/i> the film companies do something cool with cases?)<\/p>\n Five versions of the film? Yes, indeed. The theatrical cut. The slightly more violent international cut. The misnamed Director’s Cut. The original workprint. And Ridley Scott’s new, definitive Final Cut.<\/p>\n This excites me. It will be nice to have the international cut on DVD (it’s my preferred cut of the film). And if there’s a film that deserves copious documentaries, it’s Blade Runner<\/i>. I’ve read Paul Sammon’s Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner<\/i> several times. It’s such a visionary<\/i> film.<\/p>\n I’m not sure when this is due out. End of the year, I think. And the price? I’d expect something in the seventy dollar range. (I can’t imagine it would be more than that; I think I picked up the Alien Quadrilogy<\/i> for about seventy, and that was nine<\/i> discs.)<\/p>\n Blade Runner<\/i>.
