Last week Warners announced their plans for the upcoming rerelease of the Blade Runner<\/i> “Director’s Cut” and the release of the “Final Cut,” both theatrically and on DVD. Blade Runner<\/i><\/a> will see the “Director’s Cut” cleaned up and reformated for the DVD format, and then the “Final Cut” will present director Ridley Scott’s true Director’s Cut. (The 1992 “Director’s Cut” wasn’t actually a director’s cut–film buffs had discovered Scott’s workprint, sans<\/i> Harrison Ford’s narration and Vangelis’ score, and Warners tweaked it a little bit, adding the unicorn scene, to market it as a “Director’s Cut.”)<\/p>\n
