Film club screening of Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner' in its 'Final Cut' version at The Boatyard, the cinema space of the riverside pub The Continental.
Cinema at the Continental is screening Blade Runner at The Boatyard on Tuesday 3 November. It's the 'Final Cut' version of the film, which is the one Ridley Scott finally got to put his own stamp on, and it runs for 1 hour 57 minutes. It's a 15 certificate, so you'll need to be that age or older to get in.
For those who haven't spent much time there, The Boatyard is the dedicated culture space inside The Continental, a riverside pub in Preston that sits right by the Ribble and under the railway bridge. The pub is known for its food, real ales and ice cream on the water, and The Boatyard is where the live music, comedy, spoken word, cinema and club nights happen. Cinema at the Continental is the venue's film strand, so this screening is part of a regular programme of films they bring to the space.
Blade Runner first came out in 1982, and over the years it's had several different versions released. The Final Cut is the one Scott oversaw himself, and it's the version most people point to as the definitive take. It's a slow-burn of a film, and seeing it on a big screen in a room like The Boatyard is a different experience from watching it at home.

If you're planning to go, keep in mind it's a Tuesday night, so it's a midweek outing rather than a weekend one. The screening is on 3 November, and you can find the full programme of what's coming up at the venue over at newcontinental.net/events.
