The studio altered Scott's BladeRunner. Scott didn't want the voice over and wanted to keep the scenes alluding that Deckard was a replicant. The fact that the 'happy ending' in the original features stock footage from Kubrick's 'the Shining' should be a clue that what was released wasn't the movie Scott made.tiredinnuendo said:Actually, that really bothers me, especially since he cut out the monologue, which I really liked, and made Deckard a replicant, which kind of destroyed the whole "Your maker made you better than mine made me" point.The Treasoner said:And if he wants to remake his films into a version HE likes, considering HE made them, let him. It just seems like his fans really don't care about him at all, I don't hear anyone whining that Ridley Scott keeps remaking Blade Runner and that each remake gets significantly different from the Theatrical version.
Scott did many good things, but his alterations to Blade Runner bothered me greatly.
- J, still has the original version
PKD's themes are about questioning what it is to be human and what is real. That's the journey of Deckard in Scott's Final Cut and the Director's Cut. Scott didn't have much control over the 10th anniversary Director's cut and wasn't happy with what the studio would let him do.
