1982 BLADE RUNNER PRODUCERS NOTES

1982 Ridley Scott classic Blade Runner went through a long and tortured development process, including several recuts and the addition of a monotone voice-over that was famously hated by star Harrison Ford. Despite being included partly because of executive pressure to make the film less confusing, at least one of the film's producers seemed to loathe it as well, according to an apparent page of screening notes posted on Reddit. Dated from January 1982, around six months before the film launched, the notes are mostly from executive producers Jerry Perenchio and Bud Yorkin at Tandem, one of the three production companies attached to the film. "This movie gets worse every screening," writes Perenchio. "Why is this voice-over track so terrible, hopefully this is not being dubbed in. He sounds drugged, were they all on drugs when they did this?"

​A fascinating look inside the depths of the process. Read the entire set of notes below.

FREEFLY CINESTAR WITH 3 AXIS GIMBAL

Amazing.​

A beautiful video by the guys at Freefly Cinema using their Cinestar 3 Axis Gimbal, which I composed & produced the score for! Writing it has been the most enjoyable few days of composition so far this year - although it wasn't hard to be inspired by the incredible footage!
