Blade Runner Extended Edition By ADigitalMan

Blade Runner 2008 Extended Edition By ADigitalMan List of changes: 1) Opens with "Reedited by ADigitalMan" logo, Blade Runner style 2) After the company logos, a snippet of deleted "happy ending" audio over a black screen where Rachel says, "You know what I think? That we were made for each other." 3) "Tears in the Rain" opening credits. 4) Original "Eye on the City" opening sequence. The "reactive eye" of the Final Cut was too damn distracting ... you spend your time looking at the iris and not the reflections. 5) Holden's shooting cuts to black. Fade in on the advertising blimp heading downtown. 6) Extended intro to Deckard with more voiceovers, including the bit about Holden and the bit about his ex-wife. 7) Final Cut video of the whole Spinner ride to headquarters. 8 ) Removed the "Skin-Job/N-word" voiceover ... Deckard refers to them as skin jobs himself later, which makes this awkward line even more misplaced. 9) Extended description of Leon's abilities. 10) Holden in the Hospital. Brief bit the next morning as Deckard flips through the files and some of the voiceover about Tyrell growing slaves. 11) Alternate version of Leon's hotel room. 12) Audio of Deckard trying to find four phony ones in a city of 160 million over his ride to the apartment. Deckard runs in the rain. 13) Deckard thinks about his wife while thumbing through photos. Note that he and his wife are on the same porch as Rachel and her mom. Hmmmmm. 14) No Friggin Unicorns (TM). I understand the shot's significance, but is inserted ham-fistedly and fits with nothing else in the film. It's the midichlorians of Blade Runner. There are enough other hints and the unicorn origami has a beautiful significance all its own without needing this to distort its meaning. 15) Alternate Esper analysis. I edited this down some. I especially like how this scene actually freezes on the same shot as Deckard's printout. Why it was changed to something that doesn't fit escapes me. 16) Deckard studies the fish scale at the sushi bar. 17) "Final Cut" video for the snake scale analysis and conversation with the snake maker. 18 ) Extended bit outside of Taffey Lewis' bar. More hockey-masked go go dancers. 19) Bartender tells Deckard to talk to "the artists" about the snakes. 20) Deckard wonders why a replicant would be doing snake dances while he waits to corner Zhora. 21) Final Cut video for Zhora busting through the glass through Rachel shooting Leon. 22) Voiceover about "it's not real blood" added. 23) Rachel and Deckard walk through the streets before heading back to his place. 24) Extended sequence where Rachel watches Deckard get clean. 25) Rachel watches Deckard sleep. 26) Extended love scene. 27) Return to visit Holden in the Hospital/Bryant and Gaff eavesdrop. 28 ) Security check as Sebastian and Roy ascend in the elevator. 29) "Father" remixed better than the Final Cut. Extended gore. 30) Roy descends in the elevator, hears the computer and calls her "Mom." 31) Deckard is a smartass to the cop/"Good luck Blade Runner." 32) Removed final voiceover at Roy's death. "Final Cut" dove sequence. Final Cut video from rooftop to the end. 33) Gaff says "Are you sure you are a man? It's hard to tell who's who around here." 34) No happy ending. Details: Static Main,Scenes,About,Credit Menu's with sound. 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen at 2.35:1 Dolby Digital 5.1 4 Different Sound Options: 1) The original audio mix I did (no skin job n-word/father/no final voiceover at Batty's death. 2) No voiceovers 3) skin job/father/theatrical Batty-death v.o. 4) skin job/father/workprint batty-death v.o. DVD Artwork in the DVD_ROM folder,along with a 5th sound option and how to include it. ENJOY!

very interesting....
did you use the new DVD releases for the video sources?
pal or ntsc?
total running time?

dark jedi (2008-03-30)

Yes it was made from the new release,and it is NTSC.
not sure of the runtime,but it is longer.
longest version og BR you will ever need.

BigFuze (2008-03-31)

thanks for the info. I hope the edits are seemless. i'll check it out! btw:
"It's the midichlorians of Blade Runner. There are enough other hints and the unicorn origami has a beautiful significance all its own without needing this to distort its meaning. "
without that scene, the unicorn origami at the end is just another piece of origami, with no significance.

Are there subs on this release? That could be the defining factor to get or not get this release

BigFuze (2008-04-02)

I've downloaded (and will help seed)... I'll probably watch tonight. There are no subtitles...

BigFuze: the unicorn scene was shot a few year later for absolutely another movie so 1) there's no point to use this scene and 2) without one or two voiceovers is Gaff totaly misterious person even with his unicorns

robthom (2008-04-05)

Wow! ADM did an ever more thorough job than I expected. How in the heck did he get VO and No-VO as alternates. Amazing. Cant wait to see it.
Congrats on another fine job ADM.

ivosn73 (2008-04-10)

Is It possible to send me subs for this release.
Thanx...

ye, let's slice and dice this classic O.o
fan "rape" edit.
Die!

zackepple (2009-12-31)

This is wonderful. The only thing I miss is the unicorn dream sequence. I didn't see the entire head twisting piano shot, which directly mimics the action of the unicorn. And, it does take away from the ending, without knowing the significance of the unicorn to Deckard. Still, this is fuckin' great.

Let's get something straight here:
Let's talk about what you did to this amazing movie.
You took a great film, and you turned it into a masterpiece. That's right. Art.
This edition is darker, grittier, but far more meaningful and well-rounded. It pays dividends to those who will invest the time to sit down with this edition and just enjoy.
I have seen all the Blade Runner cuts multiple times. Found myself wishing a scene here or there was included in this or that cut.
You looked at everything and put together an edition that captures the real nuances of Blade Runner. Every scene that was originally designed to resonate with things inside of us, was made even more meaningful. Example: you took a great love scene and pretty much catapulted it to something truly special. Sexy without raunch. Emotional without being overly-sentimental.
I was always a little conflicted about the Holden hospital scenes. Your edition helped me get used to them. I can know see their place in the film as a whole. I'm cool with it.
I found two issues - well, one is a matter of taste, and the other is a little error. So really, only one issue:
1) Do we really need the scene where the bartender at Taffy's tells Deckard he can go back to the dressing rooms? I mean, does Deckard not know he's a cop? Of course he can go where he wants. I found this to be an odd scene. It's unnecessary.
2) Now for the error: When Rachel is with Deckard after Leon's death, she takes the glass out of Deckard's hands while he's sleeping. Amazing scene!
BUT . . . when Deckard wakes up he nearly spills his drink. Just remove the shot of him spilling his drink. Keep the scene where Rachel takes the glass. It's pure gold.
All in all, you've done some great work here. And thanks for allowing us to turn off the voiceover. It didn't really fit well with the film. It gives away too much and there's too much variance in tone.
Any chance we could get this in an even higher-quality version? Quality id great already, but would you be able to tweak it?
Cheers.

LTD602 (2011-06-27)

Correction:
Wow, I'm surprised I never noticed this.
When Deckard awakens to Rachel playing the piano, he nearly tips over the bottle, and *not* his glass, which Rachel had already removed.
So, no error at all on your part. ;)

LTD602 (2011-06-27)

A question about your decision to cut out the unicorn sequence:
I get your point, that we are given hints elsewhere in the film that Deckard might be a Replicant. However, by leaving out the unicorn dream sequence, you rid the unicorn origami shot of its meaning: that Gaff knows (presumably) that Deckard is a Replicant, because he is aware of his dreams and his creation. If we surmise that Gaff is also a Replicant, this would give the unicorn origami shot even more meaning. He would be aware of the way a fellow Replicant dreams.
I'm not sure what "beautiful significance all its own" (as you say) the origami unicorn would have otherwise. Would you please elaborate?

Could someone help seed this? The 1 person seeding seems to be throttling at 1 kbps. So, it looks like it will take about 2 years to get this.

Someone help seed please.
