Dick's brilliant and troubling science fiction masterpiece Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, is the most visually dense, thematically challenging, and influential science fiction film ever made. This book offers a deeper understanding of this cult phenomenon that is storytelling and visual filmmaking at its best. Film insider and cinephile Paul M. Sammon explores how Ridley Scott purposefully used his creative genius to transform the work of science fiction's most uncompromising author into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic that would reinvent the genre. The making of the original Blade Runner was a seven-year odyssey that would test the stamina and the imagination of writers, producers, special effects wizards, and the most innovative art directors and set designers in the industry at the time it was made. This book includes : An overview of Blade Runner's impact on moviemaking. The history of Blade Runner: The Final Cut and its theatrical release in 2007. A look at its long-awaited sequel Blade Runner 2049. A 2007 interview with Harrison Ford. Interviews with Rutger Hauer and Sean Young. A look at modern moviemaking, the business of Hollywood, and one of the greatest films of all time."--Provided by publisher. "Blade Runner is a 1982 American neo-noir science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. It is a loose adaptation of the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. Set in a dystopian Los Angeles in 2019, the film depicts a future in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bioengineered to work on off-world colonies. Seven versions of Blade Runner exist as a result of controversial changes made at the request of studio executives. A director's cut was released in 1992 after a strong response to test screenings of a workprint. This, in conjunction with the film's popularity as a video rental, made it one of the first movies to be released on DVD. In 2007, Warner Bros. released The Final Cut, a 25th-anniversary digitally remastered version."--From wikipedia.org website.
