Synopsis:
Blade RUnner exusts in 5 versions The Theatrical Cut (117min), The International Version (117 min and a bit), The Director's Cut (116 min), The Final Cut (117 min) and The WorkPrint (113 min). This version tries to do two main things:
- include every frame from the Theatrical Cut, International Version, Directors Cut and Final cut
- add a handful of additional VO lines, correcting them for pitch and pace so they sound like Deckard
- include every frame from the Theatrical Cut, International Version, Directors Cut and Final cut
- add a handful of additional VO lines, correcting them for pitch and pace so they sound like Deckard
Intention:
To creat a Voiceover version using every frame from the four main versions and some additional Workprint shots and 2 mins of additional voiceover lines culled from 45 mins of available material.

Editing Details:
The base for this edit is the FINAL CUT grade, but where material is used from other version, I have placed a tiny marker in the lower right (in the black area) which if NOT the Final Cut, tells you where the material is from . DC= Dir Cut, IV, International Version, WP = workprint....yes there are a few tiny segments in there, but NOT the hospital visit.
Much like my CE3K Edit, I wanted it all which also means there is now a unique unicorn sequence with some telling added VO - nuff said.
This sounds like a light edit, but the longest unbroken Final Cut section runs 19 minutes and there are over 100 meanderings in and out of differing versions to get EVERY OFFICAL FRAME. As an example, ina 2 min stretch as the camera pans down on Deckard at the Sushi bar, the edit goes into the WP for a line of dialogue, then DC, IV, DC, Xtra VO, FC, Xtra VO, FC, TC, FC, IV and finally back to FC. coz the shots vary in length, and , fo inatance, close up n the sushi plate. This however is NOT not padded out with workprint material. Just a couple of shots. les than 30 secs overall. The blue hue from the Theatrical cut in the Ice lab and a few other scenes has been retained as well.
SO,,I hear you ask, what are the extra lines?
Trust me, they are VERY carefully selected. If you want all the VO, watch the workprint...this ain't it. This is my perfect-dream version of Blade Runner . I no longer have to shout "I saw his thumbs go in, I'm sure it was like that", and "where did the VO go"....and "that's a different unicorn". Well , I've managed to retain all the shots of the horned beast with a little surprise too. Much like The Godfather, it turned out to be a far harder edit to pull off that I anticipated, but I've sat on it for near on 3 years, so here ya go. I even rendered it without any VO, just in case I one day get pissed off with it, but VO is the one submitted.

Cuts and Additions:
- included every frame from the Theatrical Cut, International Version, Directors Cut and Final cut
- add a handful of additional VO lines, correcting them for pitch and pace so they sound like Deckard
- Plus a unique Unicorn sequence
- preserved the blue hue for a few scenes
A handful of extra lines (2 mins in total) from over 45 mins of available VO; only relevant lines to the plot points of existing dialogue or character ere chose. Then I had to slow them down since they tended to be delivered quickly. Then pitch correct them coz they were spoken in differing tones of voice, thus making it consistent.
How much time gets added with EVERY FRAME versions? 5 mins. RT 121.5 mins

Had always avoided versions of Blade Runner with the narration on account of the generally poor reception to it, but on hearing it for the first time here it doesn't feel at all "harmful", even adding insight at certain points. I seem to follow Wraith's observation though, that one may lean towards or away from the voiceover depending on whether your first viewing included it or not, I find that I prefer the film without it.
Still nice to see the additional material all collected together, plus the extra enhancements that (in addition to the narration) help clarify some points that I never caught onto before. Thanks Wraith for putting his together!

Again, another superb edit from wraith, I can concur what others have said, the added voice over is awesome, even with all the versions I've always preferred the voice over.
Thanks to this great edit, I don't have to watch every cut on the collectors edition blu ray set just to watch my favourites scenes as they're all in here
I'm going out on a limb here as out of the edits I've been kindly given from wraith of late, this happens to be my favourite, no question.
Thank you my friend for allowing me to view these wonderful edits

I own and watched every cut of this movie for 100 times, now I can only watch this voice narrative fanedit because it have everything what other cuts are missing. Great job making it in HD version ,
The only other fanedit out there the White Dragon Cut by kazuchoice can compared to this edit because it extended, but I saw it it in 720p, so the quality wasn't there.

I can never get enough of Blade Runner and have long-wanted a version in this vein, I just had no idea it already existed!
I found the work to be very well done - the pitch-correction helps with the general immersion and I even think the original voiceovers would've benefitted a lot (and possibly avoided a lot of criticism) from having the same applied to them.
The edits aren't jarring and it's clear that every effort has been put in to alleviate any concerns you could have there. As a complete movie I did fear that the pacing would suffer slightly with even a few minutes being added but any additions felt carefully-selected and necessary so I have nothing to complain about there.
I don't really know much about fanedits but I enjoyed this a lot. I think anyone who already loves Blade Runner will certainly find something to enjoy here and therefore I recommend it highly.
