I was wondering if the movie would be shown in cinemas to coincide with the limited release next month or the Anniversary, but i have just got an e-mail from the distributor and they say they will not be showing it. :(
I wonder if it's the same for the USA?
I live in the UK by the way.

I think there's more likely to be a limited theatrical release of next year's "Final Cut" version. All of the changes should make it worth an exhibitor's while putting it on.

Even if it does get distribution, whether we'll see it in UK cinemas is another point entirely.

Yup. And I think I may have to drive out of state to see it in theatres. I don't think it will be showing anywhere near where I live. Heck, none of the theatres here even showed A Scanner Darkly :( Not likely they'll show Blade Runner: The final cut. They did show the re-release of THX 1138 though, which I didin't get to see.

Heh, I just noticed this...the new title "Blade Runner the Final Cut" seems more like a parody name. The blade runner finally cut himself for the last time while running with those darn blades. Sad sad sad. He finally learned his lesson.

Ha. I get it. Never thought of it that way.

Blade Runner: The Kindest Cut.
