"The film is getting a director's cut theatrical release this summer and
a special edition DVD in the fall, and it's gone from box-office bust to
renowned cult object, perhaps the most highly revered adaptation of a
Philip K. Dick story the movies have done."

This: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner#Novel is about the
relationship between the Dick novel and the film, with this footnote:

fascinating about how Dick refused to have "novelization" ofthe film
done.
