Blade Runner in the News
4 Nov 2009 A couple of months ago, Wired came up with two SF movie lists - the best before Star Wars and Star Wars and on (which of course includes Blade Runner). Reader response is such that they've started to do the reader-influenced big lists. The first is SF movies up to the 50's. Metropolis is still the grandaddy, but can't mention that without grandson BR! All lists are debatable, but at the very least might give you ideas for viewing.
4 Nov 2009 1up.com reports on a chat in Japanese magazine 'Famitsu' between two long-established adventure game writers Hideo Kojima and Jiro Ishii. Back in the 80's, they were both heavily influenced by Blade Runner which fueled their desire to create BResque style adventure games for PCs. This was at a time when Mario-type games reigned.
3 Nov 2009 Sony Ericsson has announced the XPERIA X10 Android device complete with 'Rachael' skin. Rachael was originally the codename for the device itself, but the name hasn't gone away. Recombu is one of many with views on this.
3 Nov 2009 Watched the original 'V' miniseries marathon on Sunday. Watched the first episode of the new one tonight. The differences are interesting. The obvious ones like the CGI of course. Also, they clearly wanted to quickly move the plot forward, possibly because many of the people watching will already know the premise. But that also meant leaving out a lot. The New York Times has a rather scathing view of the start of the show, and I can't really find myself disagreeing. I was certainly not the least surprised by any of it. The comparison to BR in the review is only the large screen under the ship. [Note: the article does contain spoilers if you haven't seen this episode yet.]
31 Oct 2009 BR music performed at South Bank.

30 Oct 2009 The Circuit honors character actor William Sanderson. The question: "Of the many roles that you've played, which have had the most resonance with you?" gets the response you probably expect, "J.F. Sebastian".
30 Oct 2009 Eddie Olmos with more on BSG and really laying down the Blade Runner connection - video interview at Crave.
28 Oct 2009 "Inspired by Blade Runner" is great, but is such a loose term. Here is a video of fashion designer Namrata Joshipura and her new collection. "The collection was based on a Ridley Scott movie called ‘Blade Runner’. I have taken inspiration and reference from the movie. The clothes were a little edgy not soft. I wanted to make an edgy and a racy collection."The Times of India has pics.
27 Oct 2009 Charles de Lauzirika, your favourite Blade Runner Ultimate DVD Director is directing his first feature film. He co-wrote 'Crave' with Robert Lawton. The thriller stars Ron Perlman, Josh Lawson and Emma Lung. Perlman plays the world-weary detective, pursuing a troubled photographer (Lawson) whose dangerous visions wreak havoc when his romance with a young woman (Lung) ends. Good luck from all of us, Charlie.
26 Oct 2009 Will you like forthcoming film 'Mute' - a spin-off of 'Moon'? In an interview with Moviehole, director Duncan Jones said, "It's science-fiction as well this one – it takes place in the same timeline, but it actually takes place in a future Berlin, so it's a city film and it's very much like Blade Runner. Technically, there is no Blade Runner sequel but technically, spiritually and aesthetically anyone who loves Blade Runner is going to really enjoy Mute."
26 Oct 2009 LA Weekly mentions The Box score before moving on to listing (with video clips) some memorable movie scores - including BR of course. BR is so good, they put in two clips (beginning and end).
24 Oct 2009 At the Scream Awards, Edward James Olmos talks to LA Times about BSG and his thoughts about the direct link forward to Blade Runner. With an interesting addition by David Eick.
"Blade Runner fully and richly deserves its reputation. It is simply one of the most extraordinary films ever made."

"The film is great on every level: the poignant screenplay about man's futile quest for immortality; Scott's tremendous direction; the incredible, futuristic sets designed by Lawrence G. Paull, Syd Mead and others; the phenomenal special effects; and the touching performances, especially from Hauer, a replicant fighting against the ebbing of his life. His swan song is one of the most touching in modern movie history."
- Desson Howe (Washington Post)

"Many films can lay claim to being influential, some are even considered landmark moments. Ridley Scott's staggering science-fiction epic Blade Runner is, however, in a league of its own. It is worlds apart from a lot of science fiction made in the last few decades."
- Special Reserve
"Flaws and all, it is a minor masterpiece at the least, and anyone looking for a real science fiction film of truly serious intent should go see it."
- Norman Spinrad, Starlog #64, November 1982
"It is a prophetic and emotional tale that stands as one of the most original and intelligent science fiction films ever made."
