The BFI has announced that it is to re-release Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic Blade Runner in its Final Cut form across the UK from April 3rd 2015, with a special one-off screening also set to take place next month on Sunday, 14th December as part of the BFI’s Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder season.
Given complete artistic freedom to create the cut in 2007 – celebrating the 25th anniversary of the film – Blade Runner: The Final Cut is Ridley Scott’s final, definitive and fully restored version of his iconic adaptation of the Philip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.
We may of course get another chance to see Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard back on the big screen in the future, with the actor set to reunite with Scott on a sequel which the director has been developing over the past couple of years.
