I suppose there'll be at least 3 more versions of the poster
all likely to be bootlegged. Fraudbusters will have a field day too looking for
the offline printing and fuzzy gaus. I locked up my originals - rolled and
folded years ago - and Dario has done great backing, but one wonders about the
taint of replicant posters. If only they'd die off in 6
years! Craig

Subject: [MOPO] Blade Runner "Final Cut"
Arrives in Theaters 2007
From Variety, below.
What's confusing is a DVD
"Director's Cut" -- the 1992 re-tooled issue
WITHOUT Harrison Ford's 1982
voice-over -- arrives in stores this September.
The "true final" cut --
which director Ridley Scott says represents his
original version --
under-no-rush conditions -- gets a box office release
next year (followed
by yet another DVD issue with all three versions of
Blade Runner).
Included is an "international version" previously unseen in
the
USA.

Blade Runner Final Cut is Coming
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.
