(Another) Cut of Blade Runner

dereferenced writes "Director Ridley Scott is set, once again, to re-edit Blade Runner for the Special Edition DVD due for release later this year. He discusses his plans for the new version briefly in an interview in Empire Magazine, excerpts of which can be read here. It's getting so it's hard to count all the different versions of Blade Runner out there; We have the original theatrical release, the Home Video version originally released on VHS, the Director's Cut, and now the Special Edition DVD, to say nothing of the various LaserDiscs, and pre-release screenings. I can't wait for the next version where, in addition to being a replicant, we find that Deckard was actually the first female president of the United States."

    I personally think that the final installment should resolve the question that I've had in my head since I saw the first in '79.
    Where the hell did these critters *evolve* ferkrissake? What predator types would eat _them_?
    An adventure on THAT planet would be really cool!

    First of all, Blade Runner really suck. The movie is thin and without a story line. What saves this movie is two things. Good FX and killer sound! Without Vangelis this movie would have ended up on the crap-movie list.

    Oh, and I have it on sure athority that the first release was the way RSs wanted it (then). He changed his mind after he got more "artsy". (Wanted a deeper movie, Bergman, it aint though...)
