Loading...With an eagerly anticipated sequel on its way, the original Blade Runner is getting a new UK Steelbook release on November 13th.
This is a two-disc release, including the Final Cut version of the film, with multiple commentaries and the excellent Dangerous Days documentary.
Pre-orders are live now.
Thanks to reader Russell Abrahams for the heads-up!
Pre-order: Zavvi | HMV | Amazon UK
Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic since its debut, Blade Runner returns in Ridley Scott’s definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and never-before-seen special effects. In a signature role as 21st-century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants – and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul. This incredible version features the definitive Final Cut of Ridley Scott’s legendary Sci-Fi classic and the in-depth feature length documentary “Dangerous Days” and features 5.1 Audio.
Extras:
- Introduction by Ridley Scott and Three Filmmaker Commentaries, Including One by Ridley Scott.
- Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner – Definitive Documentary Incorporating Outtakes, Deleted Scenes and Interviews. The Ultimate Look at the Movie’s Difficult Creation and Controversial Legacy.
I have been waiting for the longest time, for this steelbook to be released in the UK 🙂
BTW, unless prices change, Zavvi are currently £5 cheaper than Amazon and HMV.
I’ll stick with me Premium Collection version and the 2nd disc with extras from the regular amaray release to save me double dipping. Also not sure about the blue colour of the font instead of the usual red.
Lame cover
Nick, did you get this before?
Must be very popular….Already sold out on Zavvi !!
Not a big fan of the artwork on this one. Plus I don’t believe Zavvi are claiming it’s sold out given it’s not an exclusive.
Each retailer will have a fixed number of units allocated by the studio/distributor. It’s POSSIBLE Zavvi have sold out of theirs. Out of the 3 I linked to, they were the cheapest…
They may have taken it down for other reasons, or they may get additional units allocated.
Or people may cancel their pre-orders leading to copies becoming available for re-sale. Zavvi will probably announce this as “Very limited quantities available”
I’m sure you’re right but I’m far more cynical than most when it comes to Zavvi. I feel like they do things like this to artificially create demand.
Time will tell I guess!
Lazy design. From what can work out there’s nothing new content wise. I’ve the digibook so until a really decent version comes along I might pass. Also I have the briefcase version on DVD which is just about the best looking version.
Same artwork as was on 2013 German steelbook which I have. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Blade-Runner-Blu-ray/76035/
I can’t get into this film and I don’t know why because I love sci-fi and Harrison ford is 1 of my favourite actors
