Disc One
RIDLEY SCOTT'S ALL-NEW "FINAL CUT" VERSION OF THE FILM
Restored and remastered with added & extended scenes, added lines, new and cleaner special effects and all new 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio. Also includes:
- Commentary by Ridley Scott
- Commentary by Executive Producer/ Co-Screenwriter Hampton Fancher and Co-Screenwriter David Peoples; Producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber
- Commentaries by visual futurist Syd Mead; production designer Lawrence G. Paull, art director David L. Snyder and special photographic effects supervisors Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich and David Dryer
Disc Two
DOCUMENTARY - DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING BLADE RUNNER
A feature-length authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential cinema landmark. Cast, crew, critics and colleagues give a behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the film -- from its literary roots and inception through casting, production, visuals and special effects to its controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history.
Disc Three
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION
This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene.
1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version.
1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT
The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.

WORKPRINT VERSION
This rare version of the film is considered by some to be the most radically different of all the Blade Runner cuts. It includes an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more.
Also includes:
- Commentary by Paul M. Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner
- Featurette All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut
The Ultimate Collector's Edition will be presented in a unique 5-disc digi-package with handle which is a stylish version of Rick Deckard's own briefcase, in addition each briefcase will be individually numbered and in limited supply. Included is a lenticular motion film clip from the original feature, miniature origami unicorn figurine, miniature replica spinner car, collector's photographs as well as a signed personal letter from Sir Ridley Scott.
OMFG the workprint
I have officially died and gone to heaven
Drops on Dec 18, list price $80 USD
Bear in mind this is the Region 1 NTSC release no words on other regions at this time.

Well, the voiceover / no-voiceover versions are different enough in tone to exist without troubling each other and the chance of the workprint is pretty exciting. For once, this idea of bringing all the versions together might just work out - especially as existing versions were pretty old or hard to find!

Personally I'm all about the work print I've read tons about and seen the odd pic and clips here and there.
Deckard: Whatcha reading?
Holden : Deckard, TREASURE ISLAND! Good to see ya, buddy. Old favourite. ...Pretty awful, huh?
Deckard: Naw, you look great! Absolutely terrific! Never saw you look better. Jesus, you look good. ...Great complexion! Suit looks really nice. Who's your tailor?
Holden : A big f*cking skin job put the smash on me, wrecked me up! Looka me, for Chrissake!
Deckard: You blew it, huh?
Holden : It ain't like it used to be, Deck. It's tough now. These replicants aren't just a bunch of muscle miners anymore, they're no goddamn different than you or me..."
Deckard: So what happened?
Holden : Ten days ago Security at the Tyrell Corp. finds three intruders in the records room. Kills one, two get away, okay? ...They do a routine autopsy on the one that got aired and... whaddy know? A skin job, one of the ones that busted out! Top drawer replicant... combat type... Nexus 6."
Deckard: Pretty sexy, the sixes.
Holden : Sexy! Three hours into the autopsy they still think they're cutting up a human. No marks, nothing. ...I decided to check out all new employees at Tyrell. I test 26 boring jerks until in comes this guy Leon Somebody, nothing special but very big... Anyways..."
Deckard: You Voight-Kampff him?
Holden : Yeah! I thought maybe I was getting something... Maybe it doesn't work on these ones, Deck. ...It's all over, it's a wipe out, they're almost us, Deck, they're a disease, they're...
Deckard: Take it easy, take it easy... Tyrell Corp's got one. I'm gonna Vee Kay it tomorrow.
Holden : Push it! Push that button!
Deckard: What's it for?
Holden : Pain!
Deckard visits Holden again after he has killed Leon:
Holden : You aired him... what's funny about that?
Deckard: Revenge. I thought you'd...
Holden : You don't revenge a machine, asshole! Your slicer cuts your finger, whaddya do? Punish it? you can't make a 'thing' feel sorry, Deck.
Deckard: They're different, the new ones. That big one... he... it had feelings.
I'm curious what the Director's Cut is going to be but I suspect a combination of the work print and the previous director's cut.
REALLY REALLY looking forward to hearing the producer's commentary if they go into detail about all the rights issues etc...

Thankfully multi-region DVD players are completely legal and common in the UK (although sometimes you have to "unlock" the multi-region functionality after you buy them).

Never seen it, and I doubt this package will change that.
Christ, and to think I was embarrassed about the over-packaging of my Still Game box set, that little lot is taking the piss
