I've been following the Blade Runner DVD saga for the past few years. Apparently Warner Bros is working on the special edition (as opposed to just talking about it), but it most likely will only contain the already-released Director's Cut, with a cleaned up transfer, and a few extras like a BBC documentary. I too prefer the Director's Cut, but would like the theatrical as well, ya know? While I doubt the 'legal' difficulties will be worked out any time soon (thank you Mr Jerry Perenchio

) I don't think the door is totally shut. I just watched the theatrical version on Spike TV a few weeks ago, so it's not like it "doesn't exist anymore".

Plus the current Blade Runner is one of the crappiest dvds out there, so, I for one, will gladly accept the new one.
