Hi 15 MaF,
From what I read this project seems to be a Fan Edit of Blade Runner not a Preservation of it, right? No harm intended, but this seems to be in the wrong category. šŸ˜ƒ

"What is a preservation effort?

A preservation effort is a fan-made release of a film (or version of a film) that has never had a full retail DVD release. Usually these are sourced from obsolete formats such as VHS or laserdisc, but sometimes they can be from captured TV broadcasts.

What is a fan edit?

A fan edit aims to improve on or alter an existing film, by the insertion, deletion or re-ordering of scenes within the movie. It involves the application of artistic license to the material available. (Fan-made documentaries are also included in this category.)"

Yeah thatā€™s fair comment Nerf.
I suppose I saw this edit as a ā€œpreservingā€ of the old vibe, the characteristics and vagueness in the narrative and texture before it was over ruled by the popularity of The Final Cut and Ridley Scottā€™s explicit declarations regarding Deckard.

But technically yeah I agree with you entirely. Itā€™s still a transformation from any available release. If any site Admin/Mod can move it, Iā€™d be happy for them to do so as I canā€™t see a delete option this side. Otherwise I can just repost another.
