I ask because it goes back to the "movie based on the book" discussion.
"Blade Runner" is based on _Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?_.
The movie took all sorts of liberties and did a lot of really cool stuff, and I'm wondering what you'll think of it all once you've seen the movie and read the book.
For that matter, Blade Runner is one of the few clear-cut examples where a Director's Cut is vastly superior to the original
At least, that *I* can think of.
Sergio Leone's _Once Upon a Time in America_ has a 227 minute director's cut that was chopped to 139 minutes by the studio for the original US release. The full version is a great movie, the short version isn't...
But the rest of the world saw the full version, so I suppose it doesn't count.
And Jennifer Connelly, in her first movie, played the younger version of Elizabeth McGovern.
