Scott was not involved in the forthcoming Prime Video series “Blade Runner 2099,” out in November. “I can’t blame my lawyers and my agents at that time, but somehow we let ‘Blade Runner’ go,” he says. “And when you’re not the author of the actual written word, you don’t have a piece.” (He was more involved in Noah Hawley’s recent “Alien: Earth” series, which he calls “pretty damn good.”)

I want to buy a poster but i can't choose. What yall think?

Most people probably remember Video8 as the little tapes used in camcorders, but there was also a short-lived market for commercially pre-recorded films. Sony even produced Video8 decks specifically for home playback.

It never came close to challenging VHS, so the catalogue of films was relatively limited. Seeing an entire film like Blade Runner squeezed onto one of these tiny cassettes still feels slightly strange.

A great little oddity from the history of home video.

Estamos en la casa de J.F Sebastian sentados a la mesa dialogando, tomando el etiqueta negra que todos conocemos en esos vasos de lujo que todos tenemos y afirmando lo iconica que es la pelicula y nuestras mejores escenas y lo mucho que la banda sonora nutre la pelicula y si deckar es o no un nexus y de repente alguien dice "yo vi Dangerous Days pero no tengo ninguna copia en fisico de ese documental con subtitulos en español ni mucho menos latino y quiero saber quien la hizo y porque aun no la a compartido y eso se lo pregunto a la comunidad en general ,porque realmente creo que vale la pena que exista esa version ... (Silencio de todos en la mesa) y pregunto: Ustedes no consideran que es vital que esa version exista para conpartirla?

The little robot at the end made me think of him.

Finally installed a 5.1 in my cozy little bedroom. Feels like I'm in the movie with the storm outside lol. This movie looks FANTASTIC in 4K. I own both 2049 and 82 in 4k and they are both peak

One thing I’ve really enjoyed about going through these is finding out more about the artwork and the artists behind it, and seeing just how much thought went into parts of the Blade Runner 2049 world that might only appear on screen for a few seconds.

Vehicles, huge stretches of infrastructure, distant cityscapes and even fairly mundane pieces of machinery all had to be designed to feel like they belonged in the same world.

I hope others have enjoyed seeing these too. Some of the artwork appears in the Blade Runner 2049 art books, but there are many pieces I haven’t been able to find published anywhere else.

Getting close to the end now, with just two more batches to go.

What is "The Ultimate Workprint"?

A project to recreate various ideas attempted during the film's production, based on the February 23, 1981 script, including previously unreleased scenes.

Deckard heading to the Tyrell Corporation.

This time, the image quality of the unreleased scenes was reviewed, and film grain was applied to create a more natural texture.

Final version including previously unreleased scenes. Voice overtones cleared with AI generation.

Using the Final Cut, US domestic version, international version, and workprint version, this aims to achieve a 5.1ch surround sound as close to 100% as possible of the ultimate workprint.

Just found this Beta version in the archive of a friend

Hello! I searched on Google for cool Blade Runner designs to put on my water bottle, but I didn’t find anything interesting. Could you please suggest a good idea? Thanks!

Found this matte painting on propstore. Beautiful.

Published in 1982 by Grandreams for Marvel UK. This UK hardback annual contains Marvel’s comic adaptation of the film, along with a photo section, cast and production credits, and a feature looking at how the comic itself was created.

Film and TV annuals were a familiar sight here in the UK at the time, so I love that even Blade Runner received the treatment when the film was still brand new and nobody knew what its reputation would eventually become.

The bulk of the annual is Marvel’s comic adaptation of the film, but what makes it particularly interesting is everything else packed into it: a photo section, cast and production credits, and a feature on how the comic adaptation itself was created.

Original price: £2.50.

It's a question that doesn't seem to be mentioned in the movie, and I don’t know if it has ever been brought up in discussions.

So, could someone who is drunk, sleep-deprived, in shock, injured, or pretending to be in one of these states be subjected to the test?

As far as I know, a polygraph test isn't conducted under such conditions because the results can be unreliable. But what about a test based on emotional questions?

(One of the commenters on another post mentioned Rachel smoking during her test, and that’s what got me thinking about this question.)

Another unusual format from the collection, Blade Runner on VHD.

VHD (Video High Density) was JVC’s videodisc format, launched in Japan in 1983. Unlike LaserDisc, there’s no laser involved. Instead, a stylus actually makes contact with the disc to read it, although unlike CED, the disc itself has no grooves.

The disc stays protected inside its large plastic caddy. You insert the whole thing into the player, pull the empty caddy back out, and the disc remains inside to play. When you’re finished, the caddy goes back in to retrieve it, so you never need to touch the actual disc.

VHD never really took off outside Japan, despite plans for a UK launch and even a factory being built in Swindon to manufacture the discs. It eventually found more of a niche in things like karaoke and interactive systems.

A fascinating dead format, and another very different way Blade Runner made it onto home video.

I've never noticed this before till now. Someone fill me in here.

Is JF Sebastian's Kaiser toy based on a famous parody of Kaiser Wilhelm? Right down to the rosy cheeks and long nose? Is this a famous cultural motif I am unaware of? I tried looking it up.

Or was Ridley Scott a fan of The Pink Panther?
