Great thought, but do you have any idea as to how much it costs to put a feature film out on super 8 today?
To get a brand new print alone costs around (depending on the title) 500.00 to 1,000.00 dollars. (Titanic was one of those heftier price tags).
Hey, if I was richer than Rockefeller, I'd be the first person to get this printed!
Now, which version would we print? Hmm, (there are at least 6 different versions known to exist).

Actually, I prefer the "work print" edition of the film. This was on the 5th final disc of the special "suitcase" edition of "BladeRunner".
During the last thirty minutes, during all the fighting, there is a good deal of orchestrated music instead of Vangelis's soundtrack. Ridley Scott said that he never quite liked the orchestrated music, but I actually think it works much better and adds to the exceitement ...
... along with some definite changes in dialogue and such, I really like the workprint!
There ya go, if I am ever successful enough to pursude a super 8 feature, I would attempt to get ahold of Ridley Scott and see if I could talk him into allowing me a film copy of the work print version!
