"Blade Runner Final Cut is Coming
Source: Variety May 26, 2006
Warner Home Video has disentangled the rights issues for Blade Runner to pave
the way for a September reissue of the remastered "Director's Cut" version,
followed by a theatrical release of a version promised to be truly Ridley
Scott's final cut.
Variety says that Warner's rights to Blade Runner lapsed a year ago, but the
studio has since negotiated a long-term license. The film, now considered a
sci-fi classic, has had a troubled history from the start: When Scott ran
overbudget, completion bond guarantors took control of it and made
substantial changes before its 1982 theatrical release, adding a voiceover
and happy ending. That version was replaced by the much better-received
director's cut in 1992, but Scott has long been unhappy with it, complaining
that he was rushed and unable to give it proper attention.
The helmer started working on the final cut version in 2000, but that project
was shelved by Warner soon after, apparently because the studio couldn't come
to terms with Jerry Perenchio over rights issues.
The trade adds that the restored "Director's Cut" will debut on home video in
September, and remain on sale for four months only, after which time it will
be placed on moratorium.
"Blade Runner: Final Cut" will arrive in 2007 for a limited 25th anniversary
theatrical run, followed by a special edition DVD with the three previous
versions offered as alternate viewing: Besides the original theatrical
version and director's cut, the expanded international theatrical cut will be
included. The set will also contain additional bonus materials."
