The voiceover narration was provided by Harrison Ford and the “happy ending” scene contains some unused aerial shots from Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining.”Īnother workprint of “Blade Runner,” known as the San Diego Sneak Preview Version, was screened in San Diego in May 1982 and included three new scenes that were absent from all the other versions. This altered version of the film is known as the US Theatrical Cut, or the Domestic Cut (116 minutes). The negative reactions from the audiences led the studio to change the film’s ending to a happier one and to add a voiceover narration in order to make the film’s plot clearer. The first version of the film was the 1982 workprint version (113 minutes), which was screened in Denver and Dallas in March 1982. Seven different versions of the film are known to exist, and there have even been rumors of an eighth version of the film that was only screened for studio staff and never released. Ridley Scott’s revolutionary science fiction film is famous for its numerous releases. In this list, we will focus on 10 great movies from this latter category. However, there are films which managed to get not only two, but three, four or – in some cases – over seven different versions.
But all of these examples are films that were released in two editions: the original theatrical release and the director’s cut. Heck, even “Batman v Superman” was better as an extended film. Many times, an extended edition or a director’s cut might not only lengthen the film’s running time, but also improve its quality.įilms like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, “Kingdom of Heaven” or “Donnie Darko” have all benefited from their director’s cut releases. It is nice to know that an extended cut of your favorite film exists.
