- Apparently when Bladerunner was released back in 1982, a great deal of
- footage that Ridley Scott had wanted in the film was left out by the
- studio in the final cut. Rumor has it that the restored footage changes
- the character of the film. ( Perhaps making it more like Philip K. Dick's
- book _Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?_ ).
-
- Anyway the release of the director's cut of Bladerunner has been hinted
- at for a little over a year now. Seems Sept. 11th is the date.
-
- BTW: Thanks to all who responded. I've found the theater in D.C. that
- will be showing the film.
