Hoping they can get some cleaner and fresher artwork for it, though. Like this composition below by Brian Taylor but using the original photograph/still sources.

Needs the awesome BLADE RUNNER font.
I wouldn't mind if only The Final Cut for Blade Runner was the version released on UHD. Highly doubt Warner will give 4K scans to the three cuts on the second movie BD.

The "Directors Cut" is superior to the Final Cut.

Workprint also deserves a 4K disc.

Of course with your opinion, not fact. There's also a custom Extended Edition which has been floating around.
Would be nice if we could have 4K scans of Domestic Theatrical Cut, European Theatrical Cut, Director's "Notes" Cut, and Workprint should already be fine.
Should get as much luxurious treatment as it has been lately, but this time on maxed out discs with great bitrate.
Glad Ridley Scott has offered all 5 official versions of BLADE RUNNER for us fans of the film to watch.

But will this be Dolby Vision?

They're a near identical edit. The only difference is that the latter has cleaned up fx and visual fixes, all of which are welcome in my opinion.

Final Cut is a closer relation to the workprint IMO.

There's one alteration that really bugs me in The Final Cut, and that's a change to a key line of dialogue from Roy Batty - aimed at Tyrell.

It's been changed to, "I want more life, FATHER", from something which was originally much more blunt, crude and raw, and showed how incredible anger and frustration had stripped away the veneer of class and civilisation that Roy is so keen to maintain.

Personally, I'd like to see the line reverted back to the original.

...which was a lift from the workprint. I'd love to see it changed back as well.

I still hear the (other) F-word...even when I watch the Final Cut. Guess that shows how my brain works?

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Thanks.

The extension to animoid row, the "kowalski" line when they're shown his apartment, the "father" alteration etc, all from the workprint. I never said said it was EXACTLY the same but Ridders used several things only seen in the workprint when it came to editing the Final Cut.

That's really sweet looking.

So, Warner Bros. released this trailer on Facebook about an hour ago. Release date is 9/5 for US:

EDIt: Also the end shows the cover art. Not bad.

[FilmFreakosaurus]

This really needs Dolby Vision. Too bad WB probably won't pony up for an Atmos remix unless Ridley insists.

[MattPerdue]

Glad it's the Final cut but I hope it still has the extra discs from the 30th Anniversary release. Would be real shame if not.
