Blade runner in LA theaters?

[Moonliner]

I ran across an article (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=22802) today that claims that the Blade Runner Final Cut is showcasing in select LA and NY theaters starting the 5th of October. The article is a few months old so it's probably BS but if you are an LA based Blade Runner fan you might want to keep a weather eye out...

With all of the additional footage, the credits are expected to roll by this Wednesday.

I'm not the biggest Blade Runner fan ... but I'd be interesting in seeing this version in theaters. Um, after BeatRetreat / VegasWedding weekend of course.

Here's a great interview with Ridley Scott in Wired (http://www.wired.com/entertainment/hollywood/magazine/15-10/ff_bladerunner) magazine.

Wired: You made a director's cut in 1992. Why wasn't that the final word?

Scott: The director's cut removed the voice-over and that silly ending and put in the unicorn daydream, but the disc didn't look that great. And it should look great, because Blade Runner at the time was pretty formidable — it's pretty formidable even now, actually. A lot of people don't notice whether they're watching something beautifully technical or not, but it's important to me. So that always got in the way of the director's cut being the final version. I think it's final now because I've done all the nips and tucks and tidied up one or two of the visual areas that we couldn't do properly at the time because we didn't have the technology.
