Hampton
Fancher was the original force
behind Blade Runner. He was an actor who took the book by Philip
K. Dick, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and created
a workable screenplay from it. Sufficient to get producers involved
and get the film moving. When Ridley Scott came on board as director,
he had some very definite ideas about what the film should be about.
After working with Fancher for months, Hampton decided to say enough
was enough. Scott called in Peoples, (who had been working with
his brother Tony Scott), to implement some more changes.
That
wasn't the end for Fancher though - during filming, more changes
were required and Peoples was no longer available, so Fancher was
asked to come back and make more enhancements. It is good to know
that Fancher and Peoples became friends and both were so concerned
that the other had written "that" voice-over that they
didn't mention it to each other for ages afterwards!
Hampton's
notable film since has been The Minus Man (1999). Adapted by Hampton
from the novel by Lew McCreary and also directed by Hampton. A film
that gets some viewers who don't understand it, hate it and are
bored and others who think it is absolute brilliance, particularly
script and direction. Rather like another film we know...
