(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."

Re:Poor Ridley Scott

Must be great releasing the same movie over and over again. Most people in the business have to bust their ass to claw their way just to mediocrity. I guess when you get one or two hits under your belt you are at the point where you can do some filler and just re-release the hits 10 or 20 years later to rake in some more bucks. Then it's on to re-releasing another...
