It looks like genre icon Ridley Scott (HANNIBAL, ALIEN) is returning to perhaps his greatest triumph, BLADE RUNNER, and re-editing it into a final director's cut for the special edition DVD release later this year.
"What we're doing is re-mixing digitally and reprinting off the original negative," Scott told SciFi Wire while chatting up BLACK HAWK DOWN. "So we'll have a new version. It won't be dramatically different, but it will be as beautiful as it should be. BLADE RUNNER was a beautiful-looking film, and what most of this generation has seen are bad tapes. Thank God for DVD, because DVD at least resurrects the thing to the original sound and picture quality. I'd love people to be able to see it big, and that's what I'm doing."
When asked about recent quotes about he and ALIEN star Sigourney Weaver reuniting for a fifth ALIEN film, he again affirmed he's interested. "Oh yeah," he said. "I would do it."
