  • BLADE RUNNER: All Our Variant Futures, From Workprint To Final Cut.
    Documentary highlighting the different cuts of Blade Runner.
    From Wikipedia: goo.gl/MePdlE
    Several different versions of Blade Runner have been shown. The original workprint version (1982, 113 minutes) was shown for audience test previews in Denver and Dallas in March 1982. Negative responses to the previews led to the modifications resulting in the U.S. theatrical version. The workprint was shown as a director's cut without Scott's approval at the Los Angeles Fairfax Theater in May 1990, at an AMPAS showing in April 1991, and in September and October 1991 at the Los Angeles NuArt Theater and the San Francisco Castro Theatre. Positive responses pushed the studio to approve work on an official director's cut. A San Diego Sneak Preview was shown only once, in May 1982, and was almost identical to the U.S. theatrical version but contained three extra scenes not shown in any other version, including the 2007 Final Cut.
    Two versions were shown in the film's 1982 theatrical release: the U.S. theatrical version (117 minutes), known as the original version or Domestic Cut, released on Betamax, CED Videodisc and VHS in 1983 and Laserdisc in 1987; and the International Cut (117 minutes), also known as the "Criterion Edition" or "uncut version", which included more violent action scenes than the U.S. version. Although initially unavailable in the U.S., and distributed in Europe and Asia via theatrical and local Warner Home Video Laserdisc releases, it was later released on VHS and Criterion Collection Laserdisc in North America, and re-released in 1992 as a "10th Anniversary Edition".
    Scott's Director's Cut (1991, 116 minutes) was made available on VHS and Laserdisc in 1993, and on DVD in 1997. Significant changes from the theatrical version include: the removal of Deckard's voice-over; re-insertion of the unicorn sequence; and removal of the studio-imposed happy ending. Scott provided extensive notes and consultation to Warner Bros. through film preservationist Michael Arick, who was put in charge of creating the Director's Cut. Scott's The Final Cut (2007, 117 minutes) was released by Warner Bros. theatrically on October 5, 2007, and subsequently released on DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray Disc in December 2007. This is the only version over which Scott had complete editorial control.
    Confused? ^_^ The documentary explains it a little better.

It was for the 1982 soundtrack album release on vinyl LP that somebody decided to do an orchestral recreation of the score, because it seems there were some rights issues with Polydor Records, and the original music could not be used on LP.

You can find on UA-cam clips of the original 1982 film version, and it‘s clearly Vangelis‘ score, not the orchestral recreation. There have also been bootlegs of his score _before_ 1992, so he definitely didn‘t record it in 1992. You are confusing the soundtrack album with the actual film score. Greetings!

    This was perhaps the best thing I've seen on the making of "Bladerunner" to date. Really excellent.
    I actually worked on the project as a utility stuntman, and it was one of the most arduous films to work on for many reasons. First, the HOURS. I came to work and 6am every morning and left every night at 6pm. Second, the CONDITIONS. Everyone was wet and miserable for the entire two-week shoot, with Ridley having erected three gigantic circular sprinkler heads that continuously rained down millions of gallons of cold water on the entire set. I even heard that some poor older extra actually died from pneumonia during the ordeal. We shot it in the middle of winter, in the old "New York Street" location on the Columbia lot, miraculously transformed into a futuristic 23rd century Los Angeles. Ridley was a past master at this, as he began his career as a set decorator. The guy was a difficult and demanding director, and I've never seen anyone so attached to detail as this man. But it is this same attention to detail that makes his films all masterpieces of the filmmakers art. I think that working on this movie was made so much easier by the incredible world he had created for his actors. I know that many of the cast and crew were suffering from sleep deprivation, but I also believe that this actually had a positive effect on the actors' final performances. This was after all a very dark vision, and I recall being zoned-out much of the time. I was routinely used to drive the futuristic vehicles, which were mainly just fiberglass shells simply attached to a Volkwagen chassis. The beautiful police vehicle driven by Edward James Olmos was totally non operational, just a full-sized prop lifted into the sky by a large crane, most of the apparatus concealed by smoke. That's another thing I remember, lots of smoke.
    I also vividly recall the climatic scene where Joanna's stunt double, looking absolutely NOTHING like her, performed the gag of crashing through the sugar glass store window, then everybody enthusiastically applauding her effort, for if she goofed in any way the time required to reset everything would have been extremely difficult, another reason for everyone's heartfelt appreciation. I always thought that her stunt woman was such an obvious double that it did distract from the scene for me, so watching these incredible specialists re-create it with with Joanna Cassidy a full 25-year later was a complete miracle, and I can't wait to see the final cut. When the film was first released, I was extremely disappointed in it's relatively low box office and tepid reviews, but thrilled to see how it ultimately became a cult classic in the many years since it's release.

    I saw Blade Runner in the primary in 1982 and to this day it is one of the best films ever for me. I always calculated how old I would be in 2017. Today in 2023 and 41 years later, I tell myself I was 20 years old when I saw Blade Runner and think how time has passed and I saw C-beams, glittering in the dark, near the Tannhäuser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. But not Blade Runner...

    7:00 - All I can say is thank goodness the producers were lazy enough not to give the final order to junk the original negative in 1988. It is due to the incompetence and shortsightedness of people like them that we still had all this gold to gleam off, when the DVDs and Blu-rays were in development. Bravo!

      Yup, I thought the same... the rooftop had a glowing blue tone which reflects off on the wetness of the roof when Roy died, which fits very well with the cyan-blue sky's color and the deep rumble of the music goes really well with the smoky industrial chimneys ... the sky may be too bright but the vibe really suits the rooftop's mood when Gaff arrives in the flying spinner ..
      The Final Cut's replacement scene just look very "composite photoshop montage", and its color tone is rather different in feel to the wet rooftop ...
      Definitely prefer the chimney one ...

      I have a soft spot for the narration due to nostalgia, but I think it’s pretty well documented that it wasn’t part of the original script nor written by the original screenwriters. Thus, you can’t really make a claim that it reveals any inner dialogue of Deckard as originally intended by the author.

      Anyway, it’s hardly unorthodox or controversial to say that you shouldn’t fuck with perfection.
      Blade Runner is clearly one of those pieces of art where the whole is far more than the sum of its parts.
      Every little part is a testament to and of its time and the atmosphere in which it was made.
      It’s a crime to change that.
      All of the other versions are built on material or parts that was shown in the ür-premier or outtakes.
      The dove release shot is a perfect example of fucking with something they did not understand.
      Not even Ridley fully remembered or got it. He is an artist and is as such a bad person to ask.
      It reeks of 90’s to early 2000’s.
      The original shot, was perfect in its simplicity and the ray of light it cast into the atmospheric rainy night of Blade Runner.

      You need pressure to work off, so I'd disagree with you. The very fact Scott had to fight to make the film he wanted is the thing that makes the film special. The sequel was made with zero pressure and it is not a patch on the original, no matter how many people tell themselves it is. I do understand what you mean of course, I just think too easy a ride and you don't bring out the best in people.

      Ridley HATED the idea though, which is why he ultimately released his Director's Cut, without the V.O. He thought that it was totally unnecessary and actually made the viewer look stupid. Even Harrison Ford hated the idea, and you can actually hear it in his laconic, flat voice. But it worked out well in the end.

    Im a big purist about the risk of tampering, but honestly Final Cut is brilliant. There’s a lot of rubbish said about the different cuts by fans. It feels like it’s become an excuse to make YT videos about the many cuts to get views and have an opinion for the sake of it.
    Usually it would be crossing a line correcting ‘mistakes’ from the original movie but they handled it so tastefully and seemlessly here, with all the original team, it may as well have always been there. I watched the Final Cut first and was shocked to learn the shot of the dove used to be just a lame back of a studio. Very rare that a movie recut ever gets this care and stays true to the vision.
    I wish the FC hadn’t had the teal colour treatment but the 4K release really improves this.

    • @davidlean1060
      @davidlean1060 2 роки тому

      I saw the theatrical cut first, probably in the 90s on home video. The rest of the film had been so mysterious and metaphorical, it seemed to make sense that Roy's white dove would fly into a clear, blue sky after we had experienced so much darkness, even if the shot lacked the rich cityscape design. This was just before the leaked version arrived of course and the film really began to take on the cult classic status it has now. We didn't know what we were missing in other words.

My point was the film was so athmospheric and emmersive anyway, I could forgive things that didn't quiet gel, like the dove/blue sky shot or the face on Zorah's double looking nothing like Joanna Cassidy. They certainly didn't jolt me out of the movie. I can't say the same for the sequel however, but that's another kettle of fish.

  • @elliottswanson9307
    @elliottswanson9307 8 місяців тому +1

    A lot of minutia here, but the key component to have BR make sense from a continuity standpoint is reintegration of the hospital scene. The key error that needed fixing was the poorly cast stunt double for Zora's execution. Fixing the lightening skies when the dove is released is an example of fixing something that didn't need fixing. The sky brightening counters the overall noir darkness of the movie. The pros did some nice tweaks, but fanedits like the one done by ADigitalMan which has selectable voice over are superior overall.

    Interesting. There are SO many films made in the last 20 years with a WEALTH of unseen material available on the cutting room floor. It would be great to see these movies reimagined like this cut of Blade Runner ~ into new versions. A way for the IP owners of these films ~ to generate new revenue streams ~ out of media resources and archived acquisitions 'that they already own' ~ that are already in the can ~ that have been seen by no one. The technology available in 2023 makes this 'reworking process' cheaper and easier than ever. The re-release of Justice League to its original vision for HBO Max is one such example.

      I remember it being in the Theatrical Cut, but I saw it on first release in the UK in 1982, so can't say for sure whether that's the same cut as the one referred to here as the 'theatrical cut'. To me, the voice-over about Gaff is part of what makes to narration so vital in a world-building sense, as it fleshes out early on both Deckard's and Gaff's characters. From memory: 'The charmer's name was Gaff. I'd seen him around, brown-nosing for a promotion".

  • @Omnicient.

    The brief replacement sequence at 24:57 is questionable; the brightness is too bright for what's just happened (a milky white which doesn't match with the rest of the sequence) and the addition of the building on the left gives the impression it's the location where Deckard and Batty are; making us think we're below their building looking up. How would the dove suddenly be below the building? That's the unfortunate impression it gives as both buildings are far too similar in design. It also looks like a computer sequence so we're taken out of the 'reality' of the film yet again! The 2nd version of this brief sequence, designed years ago, is, in my opinion, the better version!

    I have written a novel Uncorrected Proof - part of the irony is there are always mistakes in every work of art. Guess what, we rarely see them. So what is this all about: Technological exceptionalism?? After film school I began my film life as a filmmaker, shooting on an Eclair ACL cutting on a Steenbeck 6, sound going from a Nagra to Sondor 16mm sound tape - state of the art at the time. Someone said. BS, then and now of course. It's what you cut from the original shot stock that counts. How you cut it is part of the deal but if it aint on the set it aint on the screen. Blade Runner looked great to me when it first showed and it's still great. Not sure what the 'Re-Post cut narrative story is really all about - reselling? Hollywood wizardry? You don't need to sell me. Ridley did that in round 1. It was and still is magnificent - the total effort is one fine, fine print of a film. At the time. Don't get me wrong - all this is interesting, up to a point. But do we want to retouch a Van Gogh. In one town cafe night scene he piled on the white yellow paint. Piled it on. Did he make a mistake? No.
    Last point. If Deckard is a replicant or even the Tyrell boss who is killed brutally by one of the best of his own creations, what were 'their' time-out points? Deckard and Tyrell's. Or were they the ones without any programmed life-spans? Does it matter? Who really understands the Big Bang? Of course we might one day and one day we might know if Deckard was or wasn't. I prefer the lingering doubt.
