 Our brothers in horror over at "Arrow in the Head" recently alerted us to actress Joanna Cassidy's announcement on her official site that she'd recently reshot some scenes for an upcoming special edition DVD release of BLADE RUNNER. While she didn't elaborate further, some details have emerged since her announcement: [SPOILER ALERT] Her character's death, for one, has been identified as a scene that's been reshot and Film Ick has some details on some of the CGI work that's being done to another scene. Your pals at JoBlo.com, though, have also learned that Harrison Ford's son Ben has also been shooting a few scenes with a pitch perfect impersonation of his famous pop. Basically, they're aiming to rectify a few erroneous shots that have never sat too well with fans and filmmakers alike. We've also learned that a trailer for this tweaked bad boy will be on the 300 DVD, which should be hitting stores in August.
Extra Tidbit:
Three BLADE RUNNER novels have been written by K. W. Jeter continuing the story of Rick Deckard in an attempt to resolve the differences between BLADE RUNNER and Phillip K. Dick's short story, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", on which the film is based: "The Edge of Human", "Replicant Night" and "Eye and Talon".

MINOR CHANGES
They will make only one significant change: Greedo will shoot at Deckard first. |

I had the pleasure of viewing the original so called "director's cut" in High Definition the other month. Boy, let me tell you, it was gorgeous!!! I hope they don't go overboard on this thing. Keep the changes minimal, but precise. |

Eh, I'll admit there's always been something strange about that movie, at least since they released the Director's Cut and Ridley Scott talked about what the "new" ending was supposed to represent. I personally never got the feeling that Deckard was a replicant, maybe because I read the Philip K. Dick novel before watching that version. Anyway, maybe these new scenes could fix whatever is lacking, or maybe they'll fuck up what is still a pretty awesome movie. I dunno. It sounds to me like something someone came up with to make the 25th anniversary edition special, because they couldn't think of anything else. |

That's ridiculous. What is she--63? And when is the actual Special Edition of this classic coming out a la Alien, with commentary and documentaries? The latest edition was the same except it had a "cleaner transfer" as if I give a rip. Thieves. All of them. |

as long as the upcoming release contains the directos cut as was originally announced (in case these "tweaks" aren't good), i'm rather interested in what they're changing in the film |
