gevmage writes "CNN reports that a
new version of Blade Runner
will be released by Warner Home Video in a few months, for the 25th anniversary of the original film's release." From the article: "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. Warner said specifics about the two DVD editions will be announced later."

I do not see the ironic correlation.
Oh an by the way. Dr. Jones shoots first. So does Prof. Ryan. So does President Marshall. So does...
Always shoot first, ask questions later. The right way of doing things.
Unfortunately no way to shoot the bastards who after that edit history to make it look like you shot second.
Cheers,

I can see how the theatrical release made it ambiguous since it cut some of the obvious clues, but anyone who doesn't know Deckard is a replicant by the end of the director's cut is a moron.
By the way, the chick in The Crying Game is really a man.
And Darth Vader is Luke's Father.

Obviously you don't get out to the movies much. Action picture movie stars are really really tough!

Not only that. First you'll be able to buy the HD-DVD version of the Director's Cut-Cut (i.e. the new one).
Then the HD-DVD Director's Cut, then the HD-DVD Original Theatrical Release,
then the HD-DVD Premium Edition containing the Director's Cut-Cut and the Director's Cut,
then the HD-DVD Anniversary Edition containing the Theatrical Release and the Director's Cut-Cut,
then the Ultimate Edition with all three in a digitally reremastered HD version.
Then you'll get the same for Blu-Ray plus a new BD exclusive Ultimegadition with all three plus a new Director's Theatrical-Re-Re-Cut
Rinse and repeat (in 4032x2048x1280 3D-MoreDefinitionThanHDEverHad - 3DMDTHDEH) for Blu-HD-RayVD the 5TB successor to BD and HDDVD, coming 2014

I'll buy this as soon as it comes out. And when the extra-special-super-duper version with 8 extra frames of "lost" footage comes out I'll probably plunk down the cash for that too.
I hate to give any particular piece of media this much credit, but the world depicted in Blade Runner has been a huge influence on me. It's dirty, rainy, empoverished, violent, and I'd move there tomorrow if I could, even if it meant living on the street.
