Blade Runner Documentary - From Workprint To Final Cut ブレードランナー

The music played a HUGE part in the success of the movie. Without it, you'd never feel so fully engulfed by the world it had created.

[@joseluissanmartinroman8039]

Translate to english please: En la película de 1982 el soundtrack fué tocado por una orquesta sinfónica (Vangelis escribió las partituras) Para 1992 se re-edito la película, ahí Vangelis ya tocó la música.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

@@joseluissanmartinroman8039Not true. The original release of the film did include the Vangelis score everyone knows. It was for the 1982 soundtrack album release on vinyl LP that somebody decided to do an orchestral recreation of the score, because it seems there were some rights issues with Polydor Records, and the original music could not be used on LP.

[@joseluissanmartinroman8039]

@@vinylarchaeologist hi! Please translate in English. La música si fué escrita por Vangelis para la película Blade Runner de 1982,el no la pudo grabar ya que también estaba grabando el score musical para la película Carros de Fuego,por eso se permitió que la grabará una orquesta sinfónica y esa música salió en la película de 1982,para la re edición de la película en 1992Vangelis graba toda la música y es la que se escucha en esa re edición; cabe mencionar que tengo en formato VHS la película de 1982 y el score musical es tocado por orquesta sinfónica,te mando un abrazo grande y fuerte desde Mexico.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

@@joseluissanmartinroman8039 Thank you, but again, I think you are wrong. You can find on KZbin clips of the original 1982 film version, and it‘s clearly Vangelis‘ score, not the orchestral recreation. There have also been bootlegs of his score _before_ 1992, so he definitely didn‘t record it in 1992. You are confusing the soundtrack album with the actual film score. Greetings!

I saw Blade Runner in the primary in 1982 and to this day it is one of the best films ever for me. I always calculated how old I would be in 2017. Today in 2023 and 41 years later, I tell myself I was 20 years old when I saw Blade Runner and think how time has passed and I saw C-beams, glittering in the dark, near the Tannhäuser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. But not Blade Runner...

[@michaelbonade4667]

[@tiffsaver]

I think she was THRILLED to be invited back. It's not often that one gets to relive such an exciting moment in time.

[@tiffsaver]

This was perhaps the best thing I've seen on the making of "Bladerunner" to date. Really excellent. I actually worked on the project as a utility stuntman, and it was one of the most arduous films to work on for many reasons. First, the HOURS. I came to work and 6am every morning and left every night at 6pm. Second, the CONDITIONS. Everyone was wet and miserable for the entire two-week shoot, with Ridley having erected three gigantic circular sprinkler heads that continuously rained down millions of gallons of cold water on the entire set. I even heard that some poor older extra actually died from pneumonia during the ordeal. We shot it in the middle of winter, in the old "New York Street" location on the Columbia lot, miraculously transformed into a futuristic 23rd century Los Angeles. Ridley was a past master at this, as he began his career as a set decorator. The guy was a difficult and demanding director, and I've never seen anyone so attached to detail as this man. But it is this same attention to detail that makes his films all masterpieces of the filmmakers art. I think that working on this movie was made so much easier by the incredible world he had created for his actors. I know that many of the cast and crew were suffering from sleep deprivation, but I also believe that this actually had a positive effect on the actors' final performances. This was after all a very dark vision, and I recall being zoned-out much of the time. I was routinely used to drive the futuristic vehicles, which were mainly just fiberglass shells simply attached to a Volkwagen chassis. The beautiful police vehicle driven by Edward James Olmos was totally non operational, just a full-sized prop lifted into the sky by a large crane, most of the apparatus concealed by smoke. That's another thing I remember, lots of smoke. I also vividly recall the climatic scene where Joanna's stunt double, looking absolutely NOTHING like her, performed the gag of crashing through the sugar glass store window, then everybody enthusiastically applauding her effort, for if she goofed in any way the time required to reset everything would have been extremely difficult, another reason for everyone's heartfelt appreciation. I always thought that her stunt woman was such an obvious double that it did distract from the scene for me, so watching these incredible specialists re-create it with with Joanna Cassidy a full 25-year later was a complete miracle, and I can't wait to see the final cut. When the film was first released, I was extremely disappointed in it's relatively low box office and tepid reviews, but thrilled to see how it ultimately became a cult classic in the many years since it's release.

7:00 - All I can say is thank goodness the producers were lazy enough not to give the final order to junk the original negative in 1988.

I kind of liked the dove flying into a blue sky. I thought it was appropriate that there'd be sort of a miraculous clearing at that moment.

[@g.j.koster1986]

Mark Basnight couldn't agree more

[@88feji]

Yup, I thought the same... the rooftop had a glowing blue tone which reflects off on the wetness of the roof when Roy died, which fits very well with the cyan-blue sky's color and the deep rumble of the music goes really well with the smoky industrial chimneys ... the sky may be too bright but the vibe really suits the rooftop's mood when Gaff arrives in the flying spinner .. The Final Cut's replacement scene just look very "composite photoshop montage", and its color tone is rather different in feel to the wet rooftop ... Definitely prefer the chimney one ...

[@rokaanalzeer]

Yeah I always saw the dove flying in the sky as a representation of Roy going into some type of afterlife. That he doesn’t just power off that he does have his own heaven.

[@mannyespinola]

Me too. Like it's a new day for everyone, especially me, who shed tears for the villain (a very strange and new sensation) when I first saw the movie in 1983.

There was also the lost San Diego Sneak Preview Version, which was the US theatrical cut but with three additional scenes not on any version before or after it.

[@CPaiva99]

This is an incredible doc, but even though now we can chose which B.R. do we feel watching, personally I like with the voice over because it was given so much inside of the characters mind and soul that would be unfair to disregard their inner feelings and soul searching throughout the film ! Regardless of the arrival but the journey is so fantastic ! Thank you

[@plastique45]

The voice over was garbage. And Ford gave a terrible reading thinking the studio would be forced not to use it, but they still did. It was the best thing that came out of the early DVD.

[@maxducoudray]

I have a soft spot for the narration due to nostalgia, but I think it’s pretty well documented that it wasn’t part of the original script nor written by the original screenwriters. Thus, you can’t really make a claim that it reveals any inner dialogue of Deckard as originally intended by the author.

You need pressure to work off, so I'd disagree with you. The very fact Scott had to fight to make the film he wanted is the thing that makes the film special.

[@Frisenette]

The Maniacal Force-Wielder have I said or implied that? Anyway, it’s hardly unorthodox or controversial to say that you shouldn’t fuck with perfection. Blade Runner is clearly one of those pieces of art where the whole is far more than the sum of its parts. Every little part is a testament to and of its time and the atmosphere in which it was made. It’s a crime to change that. All of the other versions are built on material or parts that was shown in the ür-premier or outtakes. The dove release shot is a perfect example of fucking with something they did not understand. Not even Ridley fully remembered or got it. He is an artist and is as such a bad person to ask. It reeks of 90’s to early 2000’s. The original shot, was perfect in its simplicity and the ray of light it cast into the atmospheric rainy night of Blade Runner.

The voice overs were not intended by Scott, they were forced on him by the studio execs. Both Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford hated them and Ridley got rid of them as soon as he could in the later versions.

[@tiffsaver]

Ridley HATED the idea though, which is why he ultimately released his Director's Cut, without the V.O. He thought that it was totally unnecessary and actually made the viewer look stupid. Even Harrison Ford hated the idea, and you can actually hear it in his laconic, flat voice. But it worked out well in the end.

Im a big purist about the risk of tampering, but honestly Final Cut is brilliant. There’s a lot of rubbish said about the different cuts by fans. It feels like it’s become an excuse to make YT videos about the many cuts to get views and have an opinion for the sake of it. Usually it would be crossing a line correcting ‘mistakes’ from the original movie but they handled it so tastefully and seemlessly here, with all the original team, it may as well have always been there. I watched the Final Cut first and was shocked to learn the shot of the dove used to be just a lame back of a studio. Very rare that a movie recut ever gets this care and stays true to the vision. I wish the FC hadn’t had the teal colour treatment but the 4K release really improves this.

[@davidlean1060]

I saw the theatrical cut first, probably in the 90s on home video. The rest of the film had been so mysterious and metaphorical, it seemed to make sense that Roy's white dove would fly into a clear, blue sky after we had experienced so much darkness, even if the shot lacked the rich cityscape design. This was just before the leaked version arrived of course and the film really began to take on the cult classic status it has now. We didn't know what we were missing in other words.

[@Omnicient.]

The brief replacement sequence at 24:57 is questionable; the brightness is too bright for what's just happened (a milky white which doesn't match with the rest of the sequence) and the addition of the building on the left gives the impression it's the location where Deckard and Batty are; making us think we're below their building looking up. How would the dove suddenly be below the building? That's the unfortunate impression it gives as both buildings are far too similar in design. It also looks like a computer sequence so we're taken out of the 'reality' of the film yet again! The 2nd version of this brief sequence, designed years ago, is, in my opinion, the better version!

A way for the IP owners of these films ~ to generate new revenue streams ~ out of media resources and archived acquisitions 'that they already own' ~ that are already in the can ~ that have been seen by no one.

To me, the voice-over about Gaff is part of what makes to narration so vital in a world-building sense, as it fleshes out early on both Deckard's and Gaff's characters. From memory: 'The charmer's name was Gaff. I'd seen him around, brown-nosing for a promotion".

The one thing I never understood was the heavy color change, which made the Final Cut look so teal. Someone corrected this in the Penultimate Cut: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6i6pX9omaeshpI

Thankfully they pulled back on the teal grading on the 4K release.

@@robotparts Are you sure? I have a 4K version lying around and it's quite tealy. I've read from others it's still the case.

the real work print is on a blue ray that has 5 dvds and every cut made and a art mini book very hard to find

One of the biggest parts of this movie was Harrison Ford's narration. Once you cut it off, the movie just went downhill from there.
