Blade Runner UHD question

[Paul MacLean]

I was wondering, I was looking at this Blade Runner UHD release on Amazon, and trying to figure-out if it includes the original theatrical cut in 4K.

I can't glean much of anything from Amazon's product description...



...and while at some point I might want the "Final Cut" on 4K, I honestly prefer the theatrical cut -- but since I already have the Blu-ray set I don't want to pull the trigger unless I know for sure the 1982 cut is included in 4K!

No the only 4K cut is The Final Cut so save your pennies!

[Paul MacLean]

Thanks!



Tho I must admit I find it annoying they won't offer the 1982 cut in 4K.

This is why I'm holding out. Every other Scott movie on UHD offers both theatrical and DC cuts, so why not Blade Runner?

[AndyDursin]

Because Scott only wants you to watch The Final Cut. I mean, never say never, but it's doubtful after all these years they will do 4K scans of the other Blade Runner cuts. They "finished" The Final Cut so it would be the defacto 4K cut of the movie.

I actually kept my 30th Anniversary Blu-Ray Digibook set instead of the UHD -- don't care about the Final Cut, I prefer the theatrical/unrated version, plus that set has a slightly better encode for the workprint.
