The Digital Bits has published an interview with DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika who is responsible for supervising the DVD release of some of Ridley Scott's biggest films. Among the titles are the long awaited Blade Runner Special Edition, Legend and Gladiator.
''Mike Arrick is still working on the restoration [of Blade Runner], and there are several elements that need to be in place before Ridley can really start to approve things that could possibly get added back in,'' de Lauzirika explains. ''Mike did come in to show Ridley some of the extra footage that's potentially available, so the three of us sat down and went through these little bits and pieces, including the infamous hospital scene with Deckard and Holden.''
The Blade Runner: SE is still very early in development, and no details have been announced yet. However it is expected to be a new cut with much of the footage mentioned earlier included.
