Product Description
In celebration of Blade Runner's 25th anniversary, director Ridley Scott has gone back into post production to create the long-awaited definitive new version. Blade Runner: The Final Cut, spectacularly restored and remastered from original elements and scanned at 4K resolution, will contain never-before-seen added/extended scenes, added lines, new and improved special effects, director and filmmaker commentary, an all-new 5.1 Dolby® Digital audio track and more. Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos, Joanna Cassidy, Sean Young, and Daryl Hannah are among some 80 stars, filmmakers and others who participate in the extensive bonus features. Among the bonus material highlights is Dangerous Days, a brand new, three-and-a-half-hour documentary by award-winning DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika, with an extensive look into every aspect of the film: its literary genesis, its challenging production and its controversial legacy. The definitive documentary to accompany the definitive film version.

The Ultimate Collector's Edition will be presented in a unique 5-disc digi-package with handle which is a stylish version of Rick Deckard's own briefcase. In addition, each briefcase will be individually numbered and in limited supply. Included is a lenticular motion film clip from the original feature, miniature origami unicorn figurine, miniature replica spinner car, and collector's photographs, as well as a signed personal letter from Sir Ridley Scott.

Disc One

• Commentary by executive producer/co-screenwriter Hampton Fancher and co-screenwriter David Peoples; producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber

Disc Two
DOCUMENTARY DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING BLADE RUNNER
A feature-length authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential cinema landmark. Cast, crew, critics and colleagues give a behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the film -- from its literary roots and inception through casting, production, visuals and special effects to its controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history.

Disc Three
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION
This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene.

1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version.

1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT
The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   235 of 257 people found the following review helpful: Details & Features of Blade Runner Final Cut are announced, July 26, 2007 By  calvinnme "Texan refugee" (Fredericksburg, Va) - See all my reviews       Due for re-release in December, this motion picture is one of the finest science fiction films of the 20th century. Part of this is because it projects a future that could be - the earth as a place with a ruined environment populated by people that couldn't or wouldn't make the jump to one of the more habitable off-world colonies. The other part is because the film questions what it means to be human, and explores the possibly unsatisfactory answers you might get if you could, like the replicants, hunt down your maker and ask him Why am I here? Why must my life end? I'll pretty much let Warner's press release do the talking from this point forward. Basically you have your choice of three different sets - 2-disc, 4-disc, and 5-disc. The discs are described as follows: Disc 1 - Ridley Scott's All-New "Final Cut" Version of the film - Restored and remastered with added and extended scenes, added lines, new and cleaner special effects and all new 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio. Also included is commentary by Ridley Scott and a host of others that worked behind the camera. Disc 2 - Documentary - Dangerous Days: Making of Blade Runner - A feature-length documentary about the film including viewpoints and insights from the cast and crew. Included are details on every stage of production of the film including special effects, casting, and even the film's literary roots and its place in the sci-fi genre. Disc 3 - 1982 Theatrical Version - The original that contains Deckard's narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene. 1982 International Version - Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version. 1992 Director's Cut - Omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famous "unicorn" sequence, which is a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he is also a replicant. Disc 4 - BONUS Disc "Enhancement Archive" - Eight featurettes, image galleries, radio interview with the author, and screen tests for the part of Rachel. Disc 5 - Workprint Version - This rare version of the film is considered by some to be the most radically different of all the Blade Runner cuts. It has an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Rutger Hauer and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), and alternate music. Also included is commentary by Paul M. Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner and a featurette - "All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut". 2 Disc Edition : Discs 1-2 4 Disc Edition : Discs 1-4 5 Disc Edition : Discs 1-5 All of the information on the features comes directly from a press release from Warner Home Video.   56 of 60 people found the following review helpful: Details for the mis-informed, July 19, 2007 By  Steven Charles Grauman "Steven Grauman" (Agoura Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews    Let me clear the air about this film; During the early 1990s, Warner Brothers saw a renewed interest in the film, and had screened the American theatrical cut for audiences in select markets to great fanfare. The film had not been succesful upon its release in 1982, and WB was eager to turn a new profit from it. Ridley Scott had been hampered by budgetary and timing confilcts during the entire production of the film, and complained that he was not given complete control over the film's final edit; he had not wanted the studio-imposed Harrison Ford voice-over and was upset at the forcible removal of scenes he felt were neccesary. In 1992, he was approached by the studio with the chance to cut a more definitive version of the film, minus the voice over and with any additional content that Scott wished to re-insert. Scott took the offer, but became entangled with the shooting of "Thelma and Louise" and could not be present during the editing process. In lou of his presence, Scott authorized the studio to have a restorationist re-assemble the film for him, and he provided them with notes and other information on how he wished the film to be edited. Point in case: Scott *was* involved with the editing of the film, albeit in an indirect way. Despite the work, Scott continued to maintain that studio interference and his involvment with Thelma and Louise had prevented him from cutting the film entirely the way he wanted; that's part of why this upcoming set is being produced. The set will reportedly include the American and European Theatrical cuts (the European cut had about 2 minutes of extra footage), the 1992 "Director's Cut" and (hopefully) a final, definitive cut of the film, all remastered with digital sound.   33 of 43 people found the following review helpful: Finally!, July 26, 2007 By  Deckard41 "Deckard41" (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews USA Today reported that this edition will available on December 18, 2007. Details:Blade Runner: Ultimate Collector's Edition, $79, five standard DVDs. (Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD versions planned; no price yet.) Four versions of the film, plus a remastered "work print." Though Scott re-edited the film for a 1992 release, he has tinkered further, creating his "final cut" for the 25th anniversary. Scott says it "now is in its purest form." Among changes: A longer "unicorn" scene. During the commentary, Scott explains that it's pivotal because the symbolism re-enforces Scott's thinking that Deckard (Harrison Ford) is not human, but a replicant. Plus: enhanced special effects, a new surround soundtrack. Bonuses include a new making-of documentary. Also: The "final cut" will be shown in New York and L.A. theaters this fall and at film festivals in Venice (Aug. 29-Sept. 8) and New York (Sept. 28-Oct. 14).
