Month: June 2002

Harrison Ford recently did two interviews, one with Newsday.com in which Ford for once talks nicely about Blade Runner.
Ford says:

“It’s something I just don’t do … I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of my films all the way through. I remember the experience, or working on certain projects, some more than others. Sometimes I’ll just accidentally catch something on TV and I’ll feel pleased that it’s there. Just recently I saw a few moments of “Blade Runner,” which I’d never liked in its first version because I hated the voice-over narration. But with this director’s cut, I feel a lot better about it than I once did.

The other interview was done for Washington Post, you can find that interview here.

Have you signed the online petition for an updated and more complete Blade Runner soundtrack ?
A few months back I started an online petition campaign to get Vangelis and Warner Bros. (and everyone else involved) to release an updated and more complete version of The Blade Runner Soundtrack. You can read and sign the petition here.
Warner Bros. has taken notice of this campaign and if we get enough signatures then who knows, maybe we could get an updated version of Vangelis soundtrack. Admit that having the music from the Taffey Lewis bar scene on the Soundtrack would be pretty neat.
If you run a website and want to support and help me out with this campaign, please visit my local campaign page and link to the campaign by using one of the banners that can be downloaded and used to support this campaign.
