On Thursday, August 31st, audiences across the country will immerse themselves like never before in legendary director Ridley Scott’s mesmerizing neo-noir vision, “Blade Runner: The Final Cut.”
Alamo Drafthouse and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment are proud to present “Blade Runner: The Final Cut,” screening for the first time in 4K resolution, taking viewers even deeper into Ridley Scott’s dystopian vision. Starring Harrison Ford as the iconic Rick Deckard, “Blade Runner: The Final Cut” is widely accepted as one of the most important and influential science-fiction movies of the twentieth century. The film has appeared on more ‘Top Five’ sci-fi lists than any other film.
To mark the film’s 35th anniversary, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is releasing “Blade Runner: The Final Cut” on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital on September 5th. The one-night re-release comes as audiences are anticipating the opening of the sequel, Alcon Entertainment’s “Blade Runner 2049,” coming to theatres on October 6 and starring Ryan Gosling and Ford reprising the role of Deckard.
“’The Final Cut’ is the product of a process that began in early 2000 and continued off and on through seven years of intense research and meticulous restoration, technical challenges, amazing discoveries, and new possibilities,” said Ridley Scott upon the film’s original release in 2007. “I can now wholeheartedly say that ‘Blade Runner: The Final Cut’ is my definitive director’s cut of the film.”
“It’s an incredible honor to be able to screen ‘Blade Runner: The Final Cut’ in 4K at Alamo Drafthouse,” said Christian Parkes, Alamo Drafthouse Chief Marketing Officer. “This movie is ageless and we’re excited to share this stunning restoration with our audiences. What better way for moviegoers to get ready for the upcoming release of “Blade Runner 2019” than by seeing this seminal film first in 4K.”
