Yes, if you like the Final Cut.

I think it’s widely considered one of the better looking 4k disks. I’m going to hold off since this release doesn’t have Dolby Vision or the other cuts in 4k. I know it’s cheap but I’m tired of double, triple dipping. This feels like a film that will receive a definitive 4k release in the near future.

I think you are likely clutching at straws for all of the above. Life is short.

Absolutely.

Hope you're checking Amazon Marketplace as well as I found it there last year for $12 plus $8 shipping. The 5-disc case was a little beat up but I got a replacement for $5 and all the discs were in fine shape, so the bottom line was $25 total. Good luck.

If it doesn’t happen oh well but I’d be very surprised

I would be delighted to be wrong but the 40th anniverary has just come and gone without so much as a Tweet from ****** Bros. And as they will not release a new edition without the fanfare of an anniversary we are now looking at a 45th or 50th edition.

As I say, I would welcome being wrong but the BR:FC 4K shows no sign of going out of print and will continue to sell well year on year. WB would need a reason to devalue the current 4K.

They might do something when the Amazon show drops.

We'll appreciate your sacrifice

I found a cheap, sealed Vault version on eBay, so, I don't feel so bad now. Was NOT going to spend stupid money on it.

I bought it last month.

My Vault BR came in today. It was bigger than I thought it would be. I'm almost afraid to open it �� but I do want to know what number I have.

EDIT: 1737

damn those are great. i wish the rachel in the street one had her in her coat with the big collar as looks out of place in just the office uniform and we don't see her outside with out the coat, bugs me enough that i don't think i'd pull a trigger to buy but really they're all gorgeous regardless. the colour combo choices remind me of some of those you can toggle between on original game boy games when playing on a GBC/GBA

Recently watched the workprint for the first time.

[Show spoiler]Man, Deckard really throws Rachel against the wall in this cut. Plus the smoking hole in Holden's body after Leon shoots him.

The temp music isn't great, but this version is aces.

The scene was more explicit in the deleted scenes if I recall, Young had to take some time off after shooting the scene.

[crissrudd4554]

The end of the scene where Dekkard scans the photo of the replicants hotel room only really makes sense if you watch the deleted scenes because when he prints the picture of Zhora the pictures at a different angle then she appeared on the screen. However if you watch the deleted alternate version of the scene the printed pic shown in the film matches the image of her on the scanners screen.

So, is the 1997 Westwood game still canon to Blade Runner 2049's continuity?
Alcon is publishing the game digitally, and they made 2049, so it is still possibly canon, but somehow never brought up.
Playing the game, I never saw anything that contradicts the movies, the 2049 prologue shorts, or Black Lotus.
