Not bad...not bad at all!

Thanks for the link! That's the first time I've seen what's actually going to be on the set. And I thought it was only going to be 3 discs, not 5. Nice to see they're including the Work Print.

Unfortunately, I doubt that briefcase version will be available here in the states.

 

[dekadentdave]

DAMN!!! That briefcase should include with the Voight-Kampf unit!

And the legendary Denver/Dallas workprint!!!!

I must be dreaming!!!

It seems that ezydvd has taken this down from their site...I would say that with the recent attention it recevied, thedigitalbits.com mentioned it, as did a couple of other sites....That Warner may have told them to take it down, for the time being.....Let's hope that when the set is finally released, it doesn't change much from what they had announced.

Google still has it cached for those who missed it ...

All this Blader Runner DVD talk has got me to dust off the old Android/Android Hunter set. Great figs.

Here's the deets:

Getting released on 26th September, 2007:

In a cyberpunk vision of the future, man has developed the technology to create replicants, human clones used to serve in the colonies outside Earth but with fixed lifespans. In Los Angeles, 2019, Deckard is a Blade Runner, a cop who specialises in terminating replicants. Originally in retirement, he is forced to re-enter the force when five replicants escape from an offworld colony to Earth.

Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos and Daryl Hannah, Blade Runner made its first appearance in U.S. theatres on June 25, 1982, dazzling audiences with its stylish, brooding look into the future.

It's been a long wait. It was originally rumored for the 20th anniversary but it's taken until now.

Oh, and thanks Indy!

 

[Shropt]

So what's the deal with the work print version? How does it differ?

Same here, ive read alot about how bad the normal version is suppose to be but id still like to see it, looking forward to seeing the extras about the model of future LA

The biggest difference of the 2 versions is the deletion of the voice over narrative Dekard has in the Director's cut. Harrison later said that did not give the best of readings in hopes they would get rid of it. I much prefer the Director's cut, but it is interesting to compare different versions of the same film.

Isn't that the difference between the ’82 Theatrical version and the ’92 Director’s Cut?

How does the Work Print Version differ to these two?

I'm just looking forward to the 2007 Directors Cut! His last Directors Cut was stunning: Kingdom of Heaven. It went from a 7/10 to a 9/10!

So what's the deal with the work print version? How does it differ?

It was basically a rough cut that had a lot of changes made afterwards. It was shown in Dallas, Denver and the UK in 1982.

Here's a detailed list of the changes.

Whatever. Finally. I'm so mad it took them so long to get this package out. As far as I'm concerned, **** the director's cut. I'm just happy that I'll be able to watch my preferred version of this best sci-fi movie ever made in an elevated quality. My VHS tape with the voice over version is fainting... I'm also looking forward to the documentaries, and the Philip K. Dick homage.

 

[PsychoCenobite]

So what is your favorite version and why?

82 U.S. Theatrical version
82 International Theatrical version
92 Director’s Cut

I'm going with the 92 Director's Cut... mainly as it's the one I remember the most. I'm sure I've seen the 82 International version with voice over but the one I had on VHS and DVD is the 92 Director's Cut.

I still think the 07 Final Cut will be the best! Can't wait! :chew

Even if I can't say you're wrong, personally I belive the biggest difference between the two versions, that what REALLY matters, is that the director's cut suggests that Deckard himself is a replicant. And Ridley Scott is an *******.
Read the book Ridley. Philip K. Dick never mend for Deckard to be a replicant.
I just checked the pic that came with the article, and for obvious reasons, I dislike the unicorn on the cover of the DVD...
