Unfortunately the theatrical release is ONLY New York and LA. I will be in New York 4 days after it stops screening there. The intent is that you almost, but didn't quite get to see it in the theater and you so you might be more likely to spring for this ridiculous 5 DVD set. Its really disappointing to see something which is supposed to be important for artistic rather than commercial reasons getting used in such a manipulative way.
Oh balls, I actually hadn't heard that. I knew it was going to be a limited release, but not that limited. That is disappointing.
What are the dates? I might find myself in NY, although I imagine tickets will be nigh impossible to acquire.
Fuck.
Its at the Zeigfeld from October 5th until the 18th. Its also on in LA at the Landmark. I emailed Landmark and asked them why they couldn't distribute the film to all their national theaters (there is one in Atlanta) and their response was that "there probably isn't enough demand" but that my email was sent to the proper authorities.
If YOU'D like to see a wider release of Blade Runner Final Cut PLEASE email Landmark and let them know! If they get enough feedback perhaps they'll take a closer look at the market for this.
I will. Perhaps the Wired author can be notified as well... maybe they'll make a post about it? I'll try to contact them about it.
