Blade Runner on DVD again / first-time ever
Not so much a review as news: Blade Runner is being released on DVD again.
Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic "Blade Runner," one of the first movies to appear on DVD in 1997, is being restored and remastered for a brief reissue in September.
The DVD, featuring the 1992 "director's cut," will be deleted after four months, and replaced by a 25th anniversary "final cut," which Warner Home Video is billing as Scott's "definitive new version" of the film.
After a limited theatrical release, the newly spruced-up "Runner" will be released in a multidisc special edition DVD that also will include the original theatrical cut, the expanded international theatrical cut and the 1992 director's cut.
This is very exciting news for me because I'm one of those few who actually prefered the original theatrical release with the voice-over narration, but that edition has never been released on DVD.
