This is the second time Blade Runner: The Final Cut will be shown in a cinema in Sweden, The Final Cut was first shown on the 23’rd of November 2007 during the Stockholm Film Festival and now the one and only print of The Final Cut will be shown again on the big screen (and with some luck, it will be distributed to the rest of the Swedish cinemas).

One Official Lego Spinner
Lego presented the Visual Futurist Syd Mead with a one of a kind and official spinner when he attended a design summit in Billund, Denmark
This is just one of many spinner’s built with Lego out there, this one is once again a official one, built by Lego and I’d guess it will never be one like it which is sad. There are no official Blade Runner merchendise out there (besides posters) but there is alot of Blade Runner fan’s out there whom would love some neat official Blade Runner collectibles (and whom out there doesnt love Lego ?).
For those of you with Lego and some skills at building with Lego, take a look at this helpful guide at Brickshelf.com for building your own Lego Spinner !!

Paul Prischman, Ass. Producer on Dangerous Days
Im sorry im late with this (Started on a new job this month..)The associate producer of BLADE RUNNER Ultimate Collector’s Edition Paul Prischman and his family needs our support and anyone can help. It’s a long story and some of it can be found below, for the complete story visit Pauls Braintrust. There you’ll find out both on how you can help Paul and his family AND also get a once in a lifetime chance to go on a Blade Runner Studio Tour hosted by Ridley Scott.
In late 2007, Paul was plagued by a series of symptoms which seemed, at first, to be some sort of recurring sinus infection. But no conventional sinus treatment helped, and his symptoms worsened. In February, an MRI revealed that Paul had a brain tumor the size of a golf ball in his brain stem. On March 18th, Paul underwent brain surgery. Although the tumor was successfully removed, the pathology proved to be Grade 4 brain cancer: Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). GBM is an incredibly aggressive form of cancer with a very low survival rate, and Paul, guided by an all-star team of neurologists and oncologists, is undergoing extensive radiation and chemotherapy. The cost of this treatment – prescriptions, hospital visits, various and sundry complications – has taken an enormous financial toll on the Prischmans. And since Paul was the sole financial provider for his family, you will begin to understand the need for your donations. The outpouring of support from countless individuals working in the industry who know Paul has been amazing. Selfless people asking what they can do to help. PAUL’S BRAIN TRUST was formed to focus these efforts and raise financial support for Paul and his family.

A quick reminder, a new revised edition of Paul M. Sammon’s “Blade Runner Bible” Future Noir: The Making Of Blade Runner was released in late December 2007 and it contains 608 pages instead of the old edition which contained 464 pages.
Now, to mark Blade Runner’s 25th anniversary and release of the “Final Cut” of Scott’s masterpiece, Paul M. Sammon has extensively revised Future Noir; bringing the story of the film’s sometimes troubled history fully up to date. This expanded edition contains new insights from Ridley Scott, information on the multiple-disc Blade Runner Special Edition DVD Set, and insights into everything that went into producing Scott’s preferred and final version of his masterpiece Also newly included is an exclusive interview with star Harrison Ford who for the first time talks exensively about his pivotal role in one of cinema’s most iconic films
Im gonna read this BR Bible once more and I’ve started looking into the new bits already. Sammon’s interview with Harrison Ford is really interesting and it brings some things I wondered over into the light. The best book on Blade Runner just got better !!
You can find more information on this new edition at Orion Books, UK
