It has been four days now since Greg O. and I spent all of a Friday night finishing our rewrite of "Ten Keys," based on the Lee Child story of the same name. We were feeling pretty darn proud by the time we wrapped it up, around 2 a.m. Then we grabbed a couple of bottles of root beer - I forget the brand, but it's really good - and sat on his front porch with our feet on the railing that the landlord told us to take our feet off of before because he painted it by hand but this night the old coot was out of town...we sat on the porch on a cool-not-cold summer night drinking root beer and talking about dreams. Greg saw a couple of shooting stars. I missed them.

His dream, or what he shared - to do work that is appreciated by a lot of people - was more general than what I shared, to make a living as a screenwriter. To see my work on the screen. To see my name on the screen in great big letters. Incredibly, it was only a few days before that, that I had imagined that specific thing, my name in big letters on a movie screen. And I really liked the way it felt.

(cue the montage for William Holden's ego-ridden pitch to himself in "Paris When It Sizzles.")

Unless I miss my guess, Mr. Child has enough clout so that if he likes the script, it WILL be shot. That is exciting.

I'm listening to "Blade Runner" music again. I haven't ordered the ultimate DVD collection. Shame on me.

Last night I decided I wanted some background music while I was working in my office, so I fired up iTunes and the New American Orchestra's recording of music from "Blade Runner." As it began, I remembered that this is one of my all-time favorite recordings. But more than that, I remembered that "Blade Runner" is one of my all-time favorite movies, that I feel I could watch it endlessly - just pop it into a DVD player and let it loop (I have done this with "2001: a space odyssey," but offhand I can't think of any other movies so visually compelling). That put me in the mood for some "Blade Runner" fanboy chatter, so I went to www.bladerunner.com on the mere assumption that that would be the place to go.

Well, unless it's changed since then, you probably just saw that there's nothing there, not even a placeholder.

I thought that was really, really weird. Why in the world would the obvious web address for such a classic, seminal, cult-inspiring film be null and void?

I think I just found out why.

Filmmaker magazine's blog has an item saying that Ridley Scott and company are preparing to release "Blade Runner: The Final Cut." Mr. Scott's ultimate realization of his vision will debut theatrically in New York and L.A. (of course) on October 5, and will land on DVD September 18, in three separate editions - one with 2 discs, one with 4, and an Ultimate Collectors Edition.

My innards bulged with desire. I want to go to New York October 5. I want the Ultimate Collectors Edition. I am, at the moment at least, downright irrational about this movie. I want to see every version, all of the deleted footage, I want to listen to all of the commentaries, everything. I want to become the total scary "Blade Runner" geek.

For now, I eagerly await the debut of what I presume will be the ultimate "Blade Runner" website, www.bladerunner.com
