The long overdue _Blade Runner_ thread

it's amazing how every single producer has the exact same vocabulary when giving notes

I would love to write a massive alternate history of 'what if the producers had final say on the movies that they DIDN'T get final say over that turned out awesome'

my title needs work obv

they have put back more tits

There is no motion picture that cannot be improved by asking, WHERE THE TITTAYS AT?

more vangelis, less voice-over, can't really complain

"The synagogue music is awful on the street. We must use Vangelis."

Is he referring to this piece of music, which is by Demis Roussos and Vangelis?

What I like in particular are the little pockets of the familiar that persist in the monolithic city, like: a 30s/40s detective character, a china-town, a toymaker.

Oh christ almighty

the only part of that article that is acceptable is that there is maybe a Flash film in the works

if you read her entire quote in rachel's voice it sounds kinda awesome imo

Can we get them to get rid of Ridley Scott now, too?

At this point I'm actually hoping they bring in Lindelof, because the only reason I'd see a sequel would be for the LOLs.

idgi. It's just clips of Blade Runner in black & white - they should have at least left the sci-fi elements out if they wanted it to look like a film made in the 1940s. Otherwise, film is so obviously noirish anyway that I don't see the point.

Yeah, and they didn't even use Harrison Ford's voiceover, the most noirish element of the whole movie.

i hate shit like this

socki otm

we just need a bunch of posters in a retro style to really raise your bile and this'd be complete

no, in a minimalist style... like an all-grey poster with a iconic rendition of the noodle dish harrison ford eats out of or something

hahaha

the New American Orchestra version of the soundtrack is on Spotify! the version of Memories Of Green sounds like Pino Donaggio

Hmm.

Scott says that the new Blade Runner should start filming within the next year, according to Variety. He also gave some of the first details on what the movie will be about. Scott reportedly says that Harrison Ford has signed on to reprise his role from the original film, but Ford will apparently only factor into the end of the film. "Harrison is very much part of this one, but really it’s about finding him," Scott tells Variety. "He comes in in the third act." Scott also says that the script makes sense in the way that it relates to the original. He's previously called it "damn good." There's no word on who might replace him as director.

this is going to be total garbage

I'll give them points if they stick hard with the Atari and Eastern Airline ads.

perfect opportunity for brett rather to step in imo

Ratner dammit

Better not be any of this shit.

what is that

yr mom

oooooohkay

It's from a scene in 2010 where Dave Bowman returns from Jupiter and starts zooming around, appearing to his wife on her kitchen TV and showing up at his mom's hospice room where he brushes her hair telekinetically just one more time until she dies right then and there.

Here's the closest I could find to this scene on the Internet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpYeXZ-Emzk

I guess we're not as advanced as Blade Runner as we thought.

“I can’t mount a film of this budget, where I have to rely on tax rebates in Spain, and say that my lead actor is Mohammad so-and-so from such-and-such,” Scott says. “I’m just not going to get it financed. So the question doesn’t even come up.”

seeing this on the big screen for the first time ever in a few weeks, pretty stoked.

so the screening i went to turned out to be the original non-director's-cut version, with voiceover et al, which i'd never seen before. thoughts:

-there's a lot less of the voiceover than i'd expected; maybe a few lines every 15 minutes. of course it's terrible, but it's so poorly integrated into the film that it's easy to sort of filter it out.
-even with the crummy voiceover, the script is remarkably taut and concise, so much so it's sort of elliptical; i'm hard-pressed to think of a scene, or even a single line of dialogue, that didn't seem essential to the story.
-the death scenes in this movie are remarkably upsetting, espec. pris.
-this is a really sad movie! i can't say i understood it at all as a teenager beyond thinking it was pretty and cool, but the whole thing just feels so mournful and miserable. i've made stupid challopsy remarks about this movie not being that good in the past, which i'm pretty embarrassed about now.

Yeah that's the thing about it -- even at its most compromised and chopped up (the network TV debut broadcast in 1986, when I first saw it), that uneasy melancholia still came through big time. Vangelis had a lot to do with that.

death scenes *even more* upsetting in full gory Final Cut version!

so Denis Villeneuve is in talks to direct the sequel

new amazing trailer for the uk re-release hoo ha

well thats just great

the “Blade Runner” sequel will take place several decades after the 1982 original, which took place in a dystopian 2019 Los Angeles.

Ford will reprise his role as Rick Deckard in the film

so uh i guess that puts the 'is deckard a replicant' q to bed

Wondering how different this new movie Ex Machina is from BR
