Last weekend I was able to interview a ton of people while attending Comic-Con and while I wanted to get all the interviews up immediately, it’s been a brutal process to edit and render all the footage.

Thankfully most of it is ready to go, and over the next few days I’ll be posting some amazing interviews with a ton of the stars who attended.

So up now… Charles de Lauzirika.

While you may not know Charles’ name, I’m quite confident you’ve seen what he does. Charlie is a DVD producer and some of his previous box sets include the 4-disc Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut, the 9-disc Alien Quadrilogy, Gladiator and a lot more. If you can figure out what makes all those movies go together… it’s Ridley Scott.

So as you’ll hear him tell you, “Blade Runner” is his favorite movie and he knows the film inside and out. Now that you know that, you should be even more excited that he’s the one who produced the upcoming 5-disc “Blade Runner” box set.

But rather than having me go on and on… here’s Charlie to explain the box set and what you can expect. And for you “Twin Peaks” fans… he’s also the one who is making the upcoming 10-disc box set which will have all the episodes and a ton of extras. For the “Twin Peaks” segment go to the very bottom.

And before you get to the interview, a big thank you to Charlie for taking some time out of his busy schedule at Comic-Con to talk to me at length on both box sets!
