Hey - I realize that BR should pretty much have it's own forum by now, but in the interest of Fan Preservation I started making this Criterion style cover for BR - the original cut from the Criterion Laserdisc that was posted at MySpleen. This is just a quick preliminary pass at it to see if it's a worthwhile project. Any suggestions? I'll post the final version when I'm done and if any others are out there, let's see 'em!

I have your version that segaflip released on absw not that long ago. Should I try to track down a copy of Jedi/Feta instead? Is it better? I haven't really been looking for other versions, I just dl whatever segaflip puts up (which is a lot BTW). I'd love to have ANY quality cover and disc art

Really? BASTARDS! I'd not seen that on. Everyone I saw had some variation on the poster art.

Oh well, I'll still finish mine and post it here. It's shaping up nicely. I'm using the UPC code and original Criterion catalogue number just as a cool kind of design thing...It should be done later today. I am kind of bummed they used the same pic of Deckard on the front.

Crazy!

I found that same cover about 6 months ago and then made a larger version with slighty better scans then I changed the back to what I felt just looked and felt better - MOST important I used the Proper Criterion logo and realese number #69 for the CLV LD the transfer was made from - I did the cover about 6 months ago (I just fixed a few things a few days ago as I'm doing a version on DVD also

).

Check out the sample...

Well the disc I'm working on started as a project for my friend Josh who had a VERY specific idea of what he wanted for his DVD. I have used the SUPER AWESOME Dark Jedi transfer (the best damn transfer of this PERIOD!) and I was only gonna give a few people copies, but if there is interest who knows?

ANYWAY - It's a Dark Jedi & Blaksvn Joint Production or DARK/SVN LTD. and will be released under the Angrysun Unauthorized Collection banner

Here are some samples of the many covers for it (I have 12 faces for this cover)

This cover matches the menus that Josh wanted

"Sir Ridley Scott's"? Jesus. That reminds me of that idiot Benny Kingsley, who wants everyone that meets him to call him "sir" Ben...

Sir Ridely Scott is one of those things that can change. I only put the 'Sir' (which he is, BTW) to evoke the formal-ness of the Criterion folks. They tend to take film pretty damn seriously so they always have this really proper way of writing...that's all. I wasn't trying to be elitest or anything.

At any rate, my efforts have sort of de-railed because I didn't realize there were a lot of these out there...maybe I'll finish it sometime and post it here, maybe not.

Great cover ideas, love them all...

Dark Jedi, is your newer version of BR released anywhere yet?
I'd love to get that version you did with new menus.

Win

p.s. i downloaded, a month or so ago, what was supposed to be the
orig thatrical release of BR on dvd, but it turned out to be the
Criterion LD release. I've since purchased the original LD release,
but my Pioneer CLD-704 is in storage in NYC. Someday i'll perfect
my own release of this disc.

Those covers look great, when I've finished my SW trilogy transfer I'm going to transfer the 15gb HD DD5.1 BR DC capture to PAL & NTSC DVD because the small 30 min test disc I did looks stunning, it makes the official DD2.0 BR DC DVDs look like VHS transfers! and with the high quality 1920x1080 res of the HD capture it means I have some good source material for making a custom cover

This movie sounds cool, I've never seen it, but it looks like I would like it. The city being similar to coruscant and things like that.

You've.....never.....seen.....Blade.....Runner.....? my god man, get hold of it ASAP!

There are two main flavours, the DC (1992 directors cut) and OV (1982 original theatrical version) with a few differences between them, but both equally good IMHO. The OV has a couple of extra violence scenes, a voiceover by Deckard (Harrison Ford) and a sappy ending whilst the DC does away with those leaving you with an amazing film, especially with the Vangelis soundtrack he created just for the film.
The DC is on official DVD (out of print in the UK) but was one of the first films put to DVD and the picture quality isn't so great, whilst OV has only been released on VHS/laserdisc - hence the various DVD transfers of the LD.
