Besides, the movie is a dark and wet and moody thing and it needs crap weather. Its not a summer blockbuster...

shit i know, i work in marketing, but it still sucks... i just want this NOW!

i avoided buying the last dvd release of Bladerunner waiting for this...

i'm just impatient...

i hope it's good.

will there not be a way to get the Final Cut without buying the whole deluxe suitcase holiday gift package?

i heard that they were refilming the scenes where Zhora runs through the glass and is shot a few years ago for the final cut. so, it might be a really different version. but i have both the international cut and the director's cut on VHS tape. one time i got to see a deleted scene where deckard is visiting the interviewer that Leon shot in the hospital. it was online somewhere, i could find it again.

The Zhora glass scene is one of my favorite in the entire film, I hope they don't mess with it too much.

you know, i like deckard's narration throughout the movie, but there are a couple of spots where it just isn't right, like when he's shooting Zhora... or is the narration after, when he's looking at her? i can't remember, i haven't seen it since my VCR pooted out. anyway, another spot is right after Roy Batty dies, it just kind of ruins the moment.

I've seen the narration-less "director's cut" more often then the VHS, so I couldn't tell you honestly.

There was some discussion of this over on alt.fan.blade-runner and someone posted the following link with screengrabs from the director's cut and the new trailer. While there is some difference I'm waiting for more official word regarding the recent reshoots as someone could've easily done some photoshop work.

looks photoshopped to me; i mean everything in the pictures (besides the tint/brightness of course) is in the exact same place: the reflections, the signs, the man standing there, Zhora, everything. the only difference is that her face looks older- but someone could've put that in. it's just so similar to the original i don't know how they could've reshot it without some type of scientist or something placing everything the same, now that i look at it. if it was refilmed it probably wasn't done in that frame... either that or ridley scott can reproduce anything.

the deckard briefcase sounds amazing

im not very into buying dvds anymore but i will definetely get this one
and the "limited tun on theaters" made me lean forward to the screen
and re-read to be sure

yay!

i've seen the last 'directors' cut in the theater.
and since this won't get a wide showing anyways,
i went ahead and pre-ordered the 5 disc set..i don't
think we're missing that much...unless you haven't
seen it in the theater before..

should be interesting seeing all the different versions,
especially the workprint..

later
