It sounds like some people could really benefit from reading the <!-- BBCode u2 Start --><A HREF="http://www.brmovie.com/FAQs/" TARGET="_blank">BR FAQ</A><!-- BBCode u2 End -->! Here is what it says:
<BR>Despite what many seem to believe, original unicorn footage was in fact shot for the 1982 release; however, at the request of the producers (who didn't "get it", or just decided it was "too arty") it was cut.
<BR>
<BR>When plans were made to make a DC, Scott insisted the footage be reinserted. Unfortunately, by that time, the intended unicorn footage had disappeared. However, one particular shot - an out-take from the original footage that had been discarded by Ridley Scott in 1982 - was found. That shot was cleaned up and colour-corrected, and became that particular BR scene we all know and love... <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">
<BR>
<BR>This is also explained in Future Noir (P.366 in my copy)
<BR>
<BR>The unicorn dream was meant to be there and in fact is the whole reason they had Gaff make origami in the first place! Original footage was shot. The bit we see was not what was in the original cut, but is from the original footage. It is my hope that part of the negs they discovered for the BR:SE will include the original unicorn footage that was meant to be in the film.
<BR>
<BR>Of course, the viewer's interpretation of said unicorn is wide open as there are nnumerous possibilities that are equally valid within the BR world and which one chooses really comes down to one's POV.
