Today the Blade Runner 2049 trailer was released. If you are a fan like me, then you will appreciate every bit of it. Can't wait until 10-6-17.
Blade Runner 2049 trailer.
The Future is now!
I actually went to see Blade Runner in a movie theater when
it opened in 1982 and I was blown away by the creative detail. Blade Runner was
the Nostradamus of its time. So naturally, I have kept tabs on the film over
the years in all of its different forms. With the final cut release of the
movie after 25 years, Deckards blaster prop selling for $270k at auction, and
Ridley Scott signing up to either direct a sequel or prequel in the next few
years proved to me, that many of us still admire the film and it’s imaginative
environment.
While writing Prisoner of the Mind over the past 16 years, I have done a lot of research on Blade Runner for inspiration, motivation and atmosphere. In my book, I make references to Blade Runner scenes through visual similarities without copying it. During this process, I have amassed a huge list of Blade Runner reference links. I
vowed that some day, I would categorize them all and post them on my blog, that
day is today.
Just some notes before you get surfing.
Just because I start with the Wikipedia page, then IMDB,
don’t get turned off. I know full well, that everyone with an internet
connection can find these on Google. However, to be fair, you have to start
with the best info first and then work down the list to the much more obscure
links, and then on to total randomness. I was going to leave out the cast and
crew links because anyone can find them, but I thought I would make it a total
package.
I tried to find the official pages of each of the cast and
crew first. If that was unsuccessful, I settled for the best of what was out
there. Inevitably, I am sure I missed something, I am not a replicant nor am I
playing favorites with the hierarchy of this list. It’s just a list, maybe it’s
helpful, maybe not. Scroll down and see if you find something interesting.
