Warner home video will issue a new remastered director's cut of the classic film "Blade Runner" in September now that it has cleared up rights issues, followed by a theatrical release of a version promised to be truly director Ridley Scott's final cut, according to SciFi Wire.

Warner's rights to "Blade Runner" ran out a year ago, but the studio has negotiated a long-term license, the report said.

SciFi Wire noted that the movie has a troubled history. When Scott ran over budget, completion bond guarantors took control of it and made substantial changes before its 1982 theatrical release, adding a voice over and a happy ending.

That version was replaced by the much better-received director's cut in 1992, but Scott has long been unhappy with it, complaining that he was rushed and unable to give it proper attention, according to SciFi Wire.

Scott started working on the final cut version in 2000, but that project was halted by Warner soon after apparently because the studio couldn't come to terms over rights, the report said.

"Blade Runner: Final Cut" will arrive in 2007 for a limited 25th anniversary theatrical run, followed by a special-edition DVD with the three previous versions offered as alternate viewing.
