Cyberpunk Cinema
EP27 - Blade Runner (1982)
Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.
In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1982 hands-down #1 cyberpunk film of all-time, Blade Runner – co-written by Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples, based on the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick, and directed by Ridley Scott, starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, M. Emmet Walsh, Daryl Hannah, William Sanderson, and Joe Turkel.
A blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.
We are finally here. Los Angeles, 2019. Rick Deckard, the Blade Runner, hunting down renegade replicants through the dystopian world created by Philip K. Dick, and executed to absolute adaptation perfection by Ridley Scott. This is the ultimate cyberpunk movie. This is the catalyst that launched Cyberpunk Cinema. And it is my distinct pleasure to give you a comprehensive deep dive into every aspect of the film – from the novel, to the screenplay, to the casting, to the embattled shoot, to the film attaining cult-classic status, and rising to the ranks of one of the best science-fiction films ever made. Get ready, cyberpunkers, I’ve been gearing up all year to bring you this dazzling stone-cold masterpiece!
So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!
