Well, Ridley Scott did mention the special packaging in a recent interview (including the tidbit that Harrison Ford did contribute to the new documentaries) so maybe we'll get this one here in R1.

Yeah I'm kinda hoping Warner pulls a Ultimate Matrix Collection and has one with collectible briefcase packaging and one in standard boxset packaging.

Gimmicky packaging is lame-ass. 1) impractical; 2) jacks the price up putting out of reach for non-collector/fetish types. Blade Runner is one my favorite films of all goddamned time, but I care about the content not a stupid briefcase. I would put the discs in their cases on my shelf and throw the thing in a closet. Oh wow, sign me up.

But i'm a fair person. I wouldn't object to WB putting out 2 different versions - one for collector/fetish types and one for you.

I've already posted this in the HD thread but I will post it here again. In this month's Total Film there is an interview with Ridley. Here is what he said aabout the Blade Runner SE:
"It's finished. A five-disc set in a Deckard briefcase comes out this autumn. It's a state-of-the-art digital print, which we haven't really had for about 15 years. It'll probably be shown at the Venice film festival"
I doubt he is talking just about a R4 case.
In regards to Joanna Cassidy doing re-shoots, Ridley said they filmed her in front of greenscreen to put her face of the stuntgirls' when she gets "retired

Any thoughts on what the regular, non briefcase version, of this might cost? Someone on that link guessed $75- that still seems kind of pricey to me. But I don't know, maybe that's about right. What do folks here think it wil cost when it's released?

If the 4 or 5 disc set sells for $40 to $50. I may have to pass. Too bad, too. I hope they put out some elaborate "briefcase" set for those of you obsesive types with unlimited funds, but give the same content in a simpler case to those of us who love the movie, but are on a budget.

R4 or R1 I don't care. WHERE can this be ordered? I realize it is 3 months away, but I want the set, briefcase or not.

Or couldn't you pull someone over for illegal tinted windows and tell 'em they can pay the fine of.... say $40... in cash and it won't get put on their record. I'm just kidding... (sorta)

I for one love the briefcase and I usually avoid elaborate sets when I can cos I know I have no space for them. But I wouldn't be ab;e to resist that case.
