OFF-WORLD NEWS UPDATE for March 2012

Keeping you up to date on all things Blade Runner

Welcome to another edition of the OFF-WORLD NEWS UPDATE.

The KippleZone website has been undergoing a major overhaul. The DADoES/Blade Runner Glossary and the Douglas Trumbull articles have both been updated. And the Penfield comic strip has been brought back. Also, the long overdue fanfiction story, (the second half of the fanfiction story, Tomorrow Started) titled Awaiting Dawn is now up on the website.

“There’s no doubt that this racoon-makeup, her war paint, was something that was semi-inspired by Blade Runner. But, I wanted it to look like a mask that she could just take, you know, some grease paint on her black gloves and just smeared into her eyes and go, ‘Okay. I’m ready now. I’m hidden enough. I can respond now in a way that I always wanted to respond.’ ” -David Fincher, TGWTDT commentary
