BLADE RUNNER: The Unauthorized OFF-WORLD Box Set (Released) — Page 4

Hi!

I just joined this forum and would like to say big THANK YOU to all of you who are preserving movies and related "making of "materials. I've been a die hard "making of" collector for a while now and most precious footage in my collection is press footage featured on so-called Electronic Press Kits - EPKs that usually feature unedited b-roll and interviews (sadly, only for newer films, but sourced directly from broadcast quality betacam SP masters). My collection consists mostly of SF films like Star Wars saga, Star Trek saga, Blade Runner, 2001, Alien saga, Back to the future trilogy and newer stuff like Batman Begins, The Island, Matrix trilogy, Constantine, Lord of the Rings trilogy...). If anyone is interested in full list, let me know. Anyhow, it's good to know there is more people sharing my passion! May the force be with us...

Regarding Blade runner I have a few clipsthat might be interesting for inclusion on "The Unauthorized OFF-WORLD Box Set":
- TRAILER (3:23) This is the only segment that accompanied movie clips on EPK for BR-DC, 2nd generation off Betacam SP master
- NO GUTS, NO GLORY: 75 YEARS OF BLOCKBUSTERS (1:27) A segment from newer Warner Bros documentary, features interviews with Joel Silver & Edward james Olmos
- MTV: DESIGNING BLADE RUNNER (1:54) Bad quality 90s TV report from MTV at the movies, has exclusive interview with Syd Mead
- 15MB CD-Rom from Japanese Dokuhon BR book (only 300 books came with this lim. ed. CD rom). It has all sorts of rare photos of BR vehicles/designs

Personally, I'd love to see original EPK and all those TV interviews done during promotion of the film's theatrical release. That'd be the most valuable BR material to preserve since it probably won't ever be released on any official releases. These are the ones I know of that haven't been mentioned on the forum:

-Harrison Ford on Live at 5 New York - summer 1982
-Harrison Ford on local news program - summer 1982
-Harrison Ford on local news program "In Person" - summer 1982
-Harrison Ford on Today Show - 1982
-Harrison Ford on CNN News -1982

I definitely have those Harrison Ford interviews plus the MTV clip you have above. I just found a CNN clip from the DC as well. I'm sure I have a bunch of other stuff.

What's the trailer you have? it doesn't match the running time of the DC or original release trailers on my recent torrent. Do you have any of the other DC EPK stuff?

Have you thought about putting Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here as another isolated music score for the Director's Cut? It obviously wasn't anything intentional (none of those "syncrosities" are), but if you start Wish You Were Here right as the Ladd Company logo appears (or rather a half a second before the tree begins to appear) and continue the album on loop through the whole movie (fading in the dialogue in certain scenes to keep it from being boring) it's actually quite a trip. On a coincidence scale I'd give it an astounding 10 out of 10 for some of the things that go on emotionally and lyrically while you watch it.

Anyway as long as we're talking about a big hulking box set of all things Blade Runner--I thought I'd bring it up.

I know you didn't mention that you're actively seeking it, but I have a surround sound dts copy of the quadrophonic mix of Wish You Were Here You could put in there. I think it would sound sweet as hell. I'm def interested in getting a copy of this box, as I love "collectors items" type of things when it comes to movies. Shoot me a pm or an email. Great idea for sure!

Not positive, but exactly the same length as the regular version. Back in the days of LPs, sometimes bands would make quadrophonic mixes of their albums, this being an example. These special records would play only on record players with a certain head and on a system with 4 speakers.

Looks like SCI FI & THE PRIVATE EYE is available on this set:

cashiers:
A few pages back in this thread I listed a wealth of suggestions of Blade Runner that could be used. I compiled that list by scouring ebay.

Hey there gang - been busy working on my newest Datsun - I just got a 1978 B-210 2 door sedan for a couple hundred dollars (I sold some unnecessary Datsun parts & some of my Laserdiscs to get it!) so for the last week I've been busy getting it all back into one piece (I also got a full parts car!) so I've not been working on my BR project but I've just got as far as I can get on the B-210 for the week so now it's time to get back to work

So, thanks to Segaflip I now have the HD TS files on my hard drive, I’m gonna try a few different things to get it converted to MPEG2 (so I may not be using the DF007 V.1 transfer at this time – maybe the V.2 we’ll see ) I’ll start the video in the next 24 hours and I’m going to do my best to keep the new 5.1 audio track but the last attempt I lost sync with the AC3 stream so I may have to use a MPEG 2.0 mix (it tested better then the DD 2.0 down mix) in lieu of the 5.1 but with how things are looking at this time it may possibly have up to 6 audio tracks.


Definite Audio Tracks

1: Main Audio - MPEG 2.0
2: Isolated Score - PCM


Possible Audio Tracks

3: Isolated Scribble Score (an alternate musical score) - MPEG 2.0
4: Alternate Main Audio (DC audio with missing audio cues and effect sounds) - MPEG 2.0
5: Isolated "Future Scare" Track (fan created alternate soundtrack/synchronicity) - MPEG 2.0
6. "Wish You Were Blade Runner" Synchronicity Track – MPEG 2.0




Also thanks so much for all the support!!!

I want to chime in...

As some of you may know, I was behind one of the 2-DVD versions of the "Original Theatrical Cut" (recently found on TPB), and I had mastered my Criterion LD rip to 16x9, adding "Future Shocks" on the extras disc from a personal, digital TV capture...

I hope it'll be my version of "Future Shocks" that you guys will be using for this set, I've seen an alternative .mpg circulating on the net, and it's quite inferior to it... I believe it's my "Future Shocks" version that digitalfreaknyc has used on his HD-DVD dual set.
My second DVD also contained the Esper soundtrack in a lossless format, by the way.


Cheers, you guys are cool! keep up the good work! It's been a wonderful surprise to discover like-minded people in this world!

PS: There is an interesting interview available on bladezone site, concerning various soundtracks. Here's the link:
http://www.bladezone.com/contents/film/production/soundtrack/visions_in_sound/visions_in_sound.php

Might be of some value. By the way, the site contains audio rips of the Harrison Ford CD mentioned earlier in this thread.

FYI, here's some trivia: the so-called "Gongo Release" is not, by any means, "made in Romania". There are several things which indicate this: 1) the words are spelled very badly and the titles of the tracks are full of grammar errors; 2) the syntax of the phrase is strange, it appears as if someone was literally translating in Romanian some phrases which were originally conceived in English; 3) There is no such thing as a "Gongo Romania" label, and 4) - "the smoking gun", if you wish, that country did not have its own CD production facilities until 1998 (!)... even the largest official labels were pressing their discs in Hungary.
