Blade Runner gets its rightful DVD


At last, the cult classic Blade Runner, Ridley Scott's science fiction-film noir hybrid is getting the DVD special edition it deserves. Trapped in a legal muddle over the copyright of the various versions for several years, it finally bows on DVD next year - and how! Go here for the full story on an excellent website for keeping up to date on DVD releases in general. This multi-disc package will have four versions of the film: the USA Theatrical Cut, the more violent European Theatrical Cut, the 1992 Director's Cut and a final 2007 Director's Cut that has fans and critics panting already.
Of special interest and importance to lecturers and students on the level one course, Introduction to Film Studies, coordinated by Dr Owen Evans, which has the innovative structure of being a multi-faceted approach to this very film.
