A Season of Edward James Olmos

Blade Runner: The Final Cut comes out on DVD (And BluRay and HDDVD) next week on the 18th. Bill Hunt of the Digital Bits has a detailed review of every single disc in the set. If you're a Blade Runner fan, you'll need this collectable set.

Edward James Olmos participated with an interview for the DVD documentary included in the release called, Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner which is a 214 minute in-depth history of one of the most discussed SF films ever.



In other Eddie Olmos news, On December 20-22, EJO will be the narrator for the Disney World Holiday festivities:

Held every year at Epcot, the Candlelight Processional is not to be missed. A mass choir, joined by a 50-piece live orchestra and a celebrity narrator, tell the story of Christmas in words and music, in a very moving performance. Performances are held at the America Gardens Theatre.

Performances take place each evening at 5:00pm, 6:45pm and 8:15pm


And Watching BSG reports that you can win dinner with Eddie. The auction benefits the Latino International Film Institute, an organization Olmos has long been involved with. From Watching BSG:
The dinner is not Olmos’ only contribution to the auction, he is also selling an autographed picture of the cast of Battlestar Galactica, an autographed LIFI poster, an autographed Stand and Deliver script, an autographed Zoot Suit poster, and an autographed DVD of the movie Walk Out. If you are looking for the perfect gift for an Edward James Olmos fan, there is also an autographed poster of original art celebrating his most famous movie and television roles (although the poster seems to be sadly missing Admiral Adama).


You can even bid on Eddie's autographed Miami Vice jacket.
