The 3 disc SE (work print, directors cut, new final cut) is in the works but is currently held up by Warners legal department.

Yeah there are legal issues. From what I`ve read the 3 discs will include the workprint, the original theatrical version (with voiceover / happy ending, underrated in my opinion), and a new FINAL cut. Sir Ridley was not happy with 1991`s `director`s cut`, as it was not done by him.

I read that ridley was a bit miffed at the audiance because they didn`t get that Deckard was a replicant, so in order to force the audiance in to understand that Deckard is a replicant he wants to do a final print of the film.

p.s. Harrison denies that Deckard is a replicant and that he is a hero of the movie.

Yes, and Rutger Hauer thinks that Deckard is not a replicant. I agree, one of the themes of the movie is Harrison regaining his humanity (to a certain extent).
Scott should let audiences make up their own mind.

According to the book Decker does not want the dolly bird at the end, but instead wants a sheep or is it sheeps (there`s no pleasing some folk).

Do androids dream of sheep!!!!!!!!!!!

...only electric sheep.


The book and film are so different, they shouldn`t even be considered the same IMO.

As for Deckard being a replicant, of course he is. Nexus 7!!
