The long rumored boxed set is finally coming, yea. I actually prefer the narration version to the 1992 version, without the narration it’s fun if you already know the story but is incomprehensible to a fresh audience, I showed my wife the 92 and basically had to give her all the information that’s in the narration. One way or the other though, a great movie, that inspired a life long love of Philip K Dick in me.
I’m still amazed at how many times I’ve seen “Based on a story by Philip K. Dick” just prior to the start of a film. I’m sure it’s a least a couple of dozen by now.
I saw it in the theaters and still prefer the voice-over version as well. I know the director didn’t like it, but what would be the harm in having it as an audio option (not unlike running commentary by the production staff in other movies)?
Look forward to the new old version.
