On the Edge of 'Blade Runner'
Jul 15, 2000Il s'agit du rare documentaire britannique de Channel 4 sur Blade Runner, qui donne un aperçu de son histoire grâce à des interviews de Ridley Scott, des scénaristes et de presque tous les acteurs. Des entretiens avec le personnel de production, y compris Ridley, donnent des détails sur le processus créatif et l'agitation pendant la préproduction. Les histoires de Paul M. Sammon et Fancher donnent un aperçu de Philip K. Dick et des origines de Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ? Les interviews des acteurs sont entrelacées, à l'exception notable de Harrison Ford et Sean Young. Ces entretiens nous donnent une idée de la difficulté et de la frustration que représentait la réalisation du film, en raison d'un réalisateur exigeant, sans alliés, et de conditions de chaleur, d'humidité et de smog, qui ajoutaient à l'atmosphère de pression que tout le monde ressentait à mesure que le film dépassait le budget...
