Blade Runner Final Cut Released! Whoot!
This is my absolute favorite movie of all time! I already own the director's cut, but yesterday the final cut was released. Whoot!
They're billing it over on Myspace as the movie that started it all, and it seems like a big claim. Yet, it isn't. This movie straight up kicked off the "feel" of nearly every science fiction, cyberpunk movie made after it, including The Fifth Element, Strange Days, and ton of other imitators. This is the granddaddy of them all.
As a Philip Dick-lover, (go ahead and laugh), I don't get my feathers ruffled by the disparity between the movie and the novel from which it is based (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep). In my mind, they are two seperate things--movie and novel. End of discussion.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you must head over to the Myspace page for Blade Runner and get schooled!
Lovers of this historic film post your comments below. ;-)
Best,

I'd believe it started it all. It's the inspration for Adrian Drake Beret series (first one will be out end of next year we hope, it's called Null/Void) Just think of a Bladerunner feel cyberpunk world and a leading man that looks like Weasly Snipes. Yummy! :)

I forget just how good Blade Runner is, and then I see it again and remember why I love science fiction. I just hope whenever the Neuromancer movie is made, it resembles Blade Runner more than the Matrix.

No kidding. Most cyberpunk movies mimic Blade Runner and I hope the new Neuromancer does too. I agree with you, but I'm over the whole Matrix feel--which rips off a lot of the scenes and feel from the manga/anime title GHOST IN THE SHELL...
