UPDATED: Just as I was about to post this, I've stumbled across an article at Film Ick where Brendon confirms the sequence has been made by a college student, who he corresponded with by e-mail whilst investigating whether it was real or not. I think as of July 2007, I've seen three different versions of Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece Blade Runner and if I'm being totally honest they all kinda blend into one for me. That's probably why I'm so much in favour of this new 'final cut DVD' he is releasing of his masterpiece so finally we all can see his one true vision of Blade Runner and not worry whether the version we are watching is the one he truly wanted us to see. Of course the new DVD package that is being released will have all the other cuts of the film that have existed previously so I'm still likley to be confused in the end but knowing me I will watch them all in quick succession and that might be beneficial in me forever knowing what each cut is and what the main differences between them are. Apparentaly on Wednesday night, AICN ran a post which showcased what was suppose to be the new title sequence of Scott's film from his new cut but typically with Knowles site it was soon taken down with no explanation given as to why. Below is the curious new sequence. Was it taken down because the studio complained? Was it taken down because it turned out to be fake? Whilst I don't know for sure, I'm going with the latter as although this sequence is really well made, it just doesn't feel Ridley Scott like to me. Pretty cool huh, but it doesn't seem real does it? A good job though to whoever made it. Below is the original credits sequence of Blade Runner. It will be interesting to see if Scott really has changed this when it comes to the new DVD release and limited theatrical run, of which we are likely to hear more of at the Comic Con which begins next weekend. source - cinematical, big screen little screen
