Sources seem to confirm that Warner will be issuing (finally) BLADE RUNNER on both Blu-ray and HD-DVD formats and that the package will include ALL 5 VERSIONS of the film in 1080p. This both excites and concerns me at the same time, while I am glad that they are including all the various versions, I hope that some other things are not compromised by compression: video & audio. This film has been in dyer need of a full restoration of both the picture and the sound, which has been in the works for years. Some may recall the horrible DVD that was issued early on in the DVD format with one of the worst image transfers in the formats history. Warner issued an appeasement DVD last Fall of the film with a slightly better picture and stereo/surround audio track. This film needs a 5.1 like you wouldn't believe. To date, the Criterion Laserdisc still has the best sound for this film.

Anyone else excited to get their hands on BLADE RUNNER in 1080?
