Countdown...
"You shouldn't put your foot through a Rembrandt. That's what we were being very careful not to do," Per Hallberg says of restoring Ridley Scott's 1982 classic "Blade Runner."
The futuristic Warner Bros. film recently was restored and remastered in 4K resolution (THR 5/23) with 5.1 audio to mark its 25th anniversary.
This new version -- "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" -- is slated for release Oct. 5 at the Landmark in Los Angeles and the Ziegfeld in New York. It also will be included in a "Blade Runner" box set -- due out later this year on both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD, as well as DVD -- that also will offer the original domestic and international versions, the 1992 version and the work print. - Hollywood Reporter
Blade Runner fansite Blade Zone has additional details on the release, including images of the DVD packaging - check out the briefcase.
And to top it all off, Wired has an in-depth interview with Ridley Scott, definitely worth the read.
"You've done a man's job sir, but are you sure you're a man?"
