@RonsCompVids Companies would rather have a repeat of a bomb that they already made than risk making something new. IIRC, no Blade Runner movie has ever done well at the box office either

@phi1997 @RonsCompVids I went to the see the first Blade Runner in the theater on opening day. I recall not being impressed. How many edits did it take to get it right?

@maccruiskeen @phi1997 @RonsCompVids From what I recall it's pretty-much one updated edit of the original w/o the narration the studio requested plus a few scenes + a new restoration, AKA the "Final Cut".

The infamous work print that was also released with the Final Cut (in the 5-disc edition) was always what was referenced as "what could have been", but that was never intended to be Ridley's final cut.
