<i><b>Incept</b></i></div>
<br />
OFF-WORLD NEWS started out as a newsletter back in 1999 as a part of the <i>Blade Runner</i> fansite <a href="http://bladezone.com/" target="_blank">BladeZone</a> created by <a href="https://gerrykissell.wixsite.com/kissellstudios" target="_blank">Gerry Kissell</a>. It was sent via email every month -- or more -- as news rolled in about anything <i>Blade Runner</i>-related. When signing up with OFF-WORLD NEWS, you were alerted of special events happening around the globe that pertained to <i>Blade Runner</i>; such as screenings, interviews, tours, and news items. And you were also alerted when there were any new articles posted on the BladeZone website.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div>
At its inception, there was a team of <i>Blade Runner</i> fans who worked on the OFF-WORLD NEWS. In addition to its creator, and News and PR Manager, Gerry Kissell, there were; News Manager, Aaron Brinkley; Analysis Editor, Tor Inge Skaar; Proof Editor, Shirley LeVasseur. And later in 2001, News Manager, Richard Gunn.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Morphology</i></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
In 2007, I revived the then inactive OFF-WORLD NEWS. [By that time, any site updates and <i>Blade Runner</i>-related news and events were posted on their main page under the heading, 'BladeZone News and Features', as they continue to do to this day.] I changed the format and moved it over to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Groups" target="_blank">Yahoo! Groups</a>. Email alerts could still be sent, but it was also a place on the web where all the news could be aggregated, stored, and viewed at one's leisure without necessarily having to subscribe via email. In 2009, OFF-WORLD NEWS joined the <a href="https://twitter.com/OffWorldNews" target="_blank">twittersphere</a>! Then, in 2010, the OFF-WORLD NEWS transitioned over to the <a href="http://off-worldnews.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blogosphere</a>, where it currently resides, retiring the Yahoo! Group. Not only was the format more palatable on the blog, but it enabled you to subscribe via email, RSS, or Google Friend Connect (until Google retired the latter in 2016). And then, to begin 2012, OFF-WORLD NEWS found a home on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%2B" target="_blank">Google+</a> to share the news with fellow <i>googlers</i> (until Google, yet again, retired <i>that</i> social network in early 2019). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the features I developed for the blog was what I called the 'OFF-WORLD News Digest'. In it, I included (usually new) material, and official <i>Blade Runner-</i>related news, followed by articles, art, music, fanfiction, poetry, videos, podcasts, and miscellaneous. Any breaking news or special articles I continued to feature on its own. But, in recent years, I primarily followed the <i>news digest</i> format. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>I've seen things...</i> </b></div>
<br />
The OFF-WORLD NEWS has featured some amazing work over the years. I'm still blown away by how much talent and creativity the <i>Blade Runner</i> fandom has. This movie has been rendered in the visual arts; in painting, sculpting, computer animation, architectural designs, and even fashion design. There has been <i>BR</i>-inspired music, live theatre productions, dance recitals, and home video productions. And fans across the web have kept the story of 'Rick Deckard and Company' alive in fanfiction. The discussions -- first documented in early fanzines from the '80s, and web forums online in the '90s, to Facebook groups presently -- continues to grow and develop to this day.</div>
</div>
</div>
<br />
And fans have re-created many of the props seen in the movie, such as the Voight-Kampff machine, the <i>Blaster</i>, unicorn origami, and models of the Spinner, and action figures. [Not to mention sought-after items, like Deckard's Scotch whiskey glass; and made-up objects, like "The Snake Pit" matchbook, and vid-phon card.] And we mustn't forget the blimp-inspired props and art.<br />
<br />
There are simply too many highlights to mention that have been featured in the OFF-WORLD NEWS over the years. From talks of a sequel to the infamous <i>Director's Cut</i>. The release of Paul Sammon's "Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner". Westwood's <i>Blade Runner</i> computer game. The arduous journey putting together <i>The Final Cut</i>. Not to mention the beautiful art, music, articles, fan films, and fanfiction that came out of the <i>Blade Runner</i> fandom.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Enhance</i></b></div>
<br />
Below is the earliest OFF-WORLD NEWS that I have. It was from October 5, 1999. I am afraid that the email account that I used at the time is no longer active. So, I no longer have access to them. I just happened to have this <i>one</i> hard copy <span style="font-size: x-small;">(click on image to <i>enhance</i>).</span><br />

Rich Gunn happened to have some of OFF-WORLD NEWS archived and was kind enough to share them. They are from February 11, 2001 - December 30, 2002, from his time as News Manager. <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1F8TCpG6jXO0hlBnQxWCxTKl0tgxR8yb8?usp=sharing" target="_blank">HERE</a> is a link to view the pdf files.</div>

<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
Unlike its humble beginning -- the <i>Nexus-1</i> series of this newsletter, if you will -- there was no team working on <i>this</i> generation of OFF-WORLD NEWS. There was only one -- <i>me</i>. The research, review, and assembly took a lot of time and effort. I am proud of the work I have done with this blog; presented an informative news digest, and shared all the amazing creativity of fellow <i>Blade Runner</i> fans to the readership of this blog. However, it has come to the point where I need to focus my thoughts and energy on other things. Besides, sharing any <i>Blade Runner</i>-related news and all the creative outpouring from its fandom, which has increased immensely since the original <i>Blade Runner</i> movie -- thanks in part to <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_2049" target="_blank">Blade Runner 2049</a> </i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(its sequel)</span>, <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtb16MuK6eU" target="_blank">Blade Runner 2019</a></i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(comic book series)</span>, and the upcoming <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_(franchise)#Blade_Runner:_Black_Lotus_(2020)" target="_blank">Blade Runner — Black Lotus</a></i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(anime series)</span> -- has become redundant. For example, information spreads very quickly via Facebook. It has gotten so bad that things are posted over many <i>Blade Runner</i> fan groups, so that, if you're a member of a number of these groups, you get multiple postings on your timeline of the same thing! A lot of repetitiveness and recirculation all around. Even if there were others involved with this blog now, you'd still have this problem. Thus making this endeavour a waste of effort, IMHO. <br />
<br />
I am thrilled and honoured to say that the OFF-WORLD NEWS was mentioned in Paul M. Sammon's revised & updated edition of "Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner". It is available in stores and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Future-Noir-Revised-Updated-Making/dp/0062699466/ref=pd_sim_14_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0062699466&pd_rd_r=BF15C61QWB3N6VH8JTXE&pd_rd_w=mw9RJ&pd_rd_wg=R3eUr&psc=1&refRID=BF15C61QWB3N6VH8JTXE" target="_blank">online</a> now. For more information about the book, go to the Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FutureNoirTheMakingOfBladeRunner/" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
<i>Blade Runner</i> will always be a part of my life. Still, to this day, I have a <i>Blade Runner</i> desktop theme on my computer (as it shall remain, as long as we have computers). I will continue to listen to the Vangelis album, and periodically watch the movie. I may even be heard using one of the memorable lines from the movie (or the Westwood computer game) from time to time. And I will continue to admire the items in my <i>Blade Runner</i> collection. <br />
<br />
This OFF-WORLD NEWS blog will remain here as long as Blogger remains online. And it is also available at the Internet Archive <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://off-worldnews.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">WayBack Machine</a>.<br />
<br />
It's all been truly amazing. And I am glad to have been a part of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Have a better one!"<br />

<br />
Lawrence G. Paull, the art and production designer whose striking and memorable movie worlds came to life in iconic films like Ridley Scott’s <i>Blade Runner</i> and Robert Zemeckis’ <i>Back to the Future</i>, has passed away at the age of 81.<br />
<br />
Mr. Paull, whose <i>Blade Runner</i> set design earned him an Academy Award nomination alongside David L. Snyder and Linda DeScenna, died Sunday, Nov. 10 in La Jolla, California.<br />
<br />
It was Paull’s Oscar-nominated work on <i>Blade Runner</i> that perhaps left the most lasting influence by expanding filmmakers’ concepts of what science fiction could look like on the big screen. In an earlier interview quoted by <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/lawrence-paull-dead-oscar-nominated-production-designer-blade-runner-was-81-1254951" target="_blank">THR</a>, Paull recalled how Scott gave him free license to help craft a set that tapped his creative impulses — and he ran with it.<br />
<br />
“Ridley really knew how to appeal to the art department, he was very wise about it. What he would say, up in the art department: 'If you build it, I'll shoot it.' And who could resist the temptation of that?” said Paull, via the report. “Because we've all suffered, making films with gigantic sets, and beautiful sets, and all that is shown are talking heads. And that was disappointing. But because [Ridley] was an art director, he knew he could hook us with that bait. And he did it — if we built it, he shot it.”<br />
<br />
In a statement to THR, Scott doffed his hat to “Larry’s” outsized contribution helping adapt author Philip K. Dick’s dystopian vision of a futuristic Los Angeles for the big screen, saying he was “always struck by [Paull's] staunch and faithful support of the strange plan for the unique world of <i>Blade Runner</i>…Between Syd [Mead's, visual futurist on the film] and myself and Larry, it was a challenging, monumental task for him and against all odds — the proof is in his work in the film. So I guess we won. My hat comes off for him.”<br />
<br />
Paull continued to teach his craft in the early 2000s after retiring from the production side of the film industry, creating and teaching a new curriculum at Chapman University aimed at graduate fine arts students in production design, according to the report. He also served as a guest speaker at Harvard, USC, UCLA, Catholic University of America, and the University of Arizona — his Architecture alma mater.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rutger Hauer, the rugged Dutch actor who starred as renegade replicant leader Roy Batty in Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic <i>Blade Runner</i>, died on July 19, 2019. He was 75.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He really made a name for himself with his turn as Batty and the character's "Tears in the Rain" speech — which he improvised — in the original <i>Blade Runner</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"Rutger read that speech and then went on with a couple of lines about memories in the rain," co-screenwriter David Webb Peoples told <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/blade-runner-original-scrapped-opening-was-brilliant-1033778" target="_blank">THR</a> in 2017. "And then he looked at me like a naughty little boy, like he was checking to see if the writer was going to be upset. I didn't let on that I was upset, but at the time, I was a little upset and threatened by it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"Later, seeing the movie, that was a brilliant contribution of Rutger's, that line about tears in the rain. It is absolutely beautiful."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The late Philip K. Dick, whose novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", served as the basis for the film, called the actor "the perfect Batty — cold, Aryan, flawless."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Rutger Hauer's unforgettable screen presence, instantly memorable voice, and dedication to each and every role he played left a mark on cinema, and sci-fi cinema in particular, that will never be forgotten. As news of his death spread, Hauer's many fans and collaborators began paying tribute to his work and legacy as both an actor and a human being. This <a href="https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/tributes-to-rutger-hauer-obit" target="_blank">LINK</a> brings you to the SyFyWire article featuring some of these tributes. </div>

<br />
<b><i>Blade Runner</i> film editor, Terry Rawlings, has died.</b> The sad news was reported last week that legendary editor Terry Rawlings has passed away. The movie editor, best known for “Chariots of Fire” and “Blade Runner,” died at his home. <br />
<br />
The Guild announced the news on Twitter that the Oscar-nominated editor had passed away.</div>
<div>
<br />
They wrote, “It is with very great sadness that the Guild of British Film and Television Editors reports the death of Terry Rawlings, film editor extraordinaire, this morning- 23rd April 2019.”<br />
<br />
Rawlings worked in the film industry for over 50 years. During that time, he was extremely successful and even received an Oscar nomination for his hard work. The nomination was for “Chariots of Fire” from 1981. Other impressive movies he worked on were “Alien 3,” “GoldenEye,” and “Watership Down.”<br />
<br />
Many have taken to social media to mourn the loss. Among them, filmmaker Charles de Lauzirika wrote, “I’m saddened by the passing of editor extraordinaire Terry Rawlings. An honour to have him share his memories in my docs on Alien, Alien 3 and Blade Runner, he was also an invaluable advisor on Legend: Director’s Cut and Alien 3: Assembly Cut. A little known fact, he was the dubbing editor on Ken Russell’s The Devils. What a career, what a life. Godspeed, sir.”<br />
<br />
RIP Terry Rawlings.<br />

Featuring compositions inspired both by key scenes in the film and the film's original score by Vangelis, DANGEROUS DAYS is a bold and hypnotic experience. </span><br />

Now, EW can exclusively reveal that the first comic to explore that universe will be called <i>Blade Runner 2019</i>. Launching this summer, Titan Comics’ new series will be set during the exact timeframe of the original <i>Blade Runner</i> film, and feature a (mostly) new set of characters and situations.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A dark realization burdens blade runner Devrouax, forcing him to question everything he's ever known. Will the weight of it all crush him, or will Devrouax find the answers he seeks?</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A Word from Director, Chris R. Notarile</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like most filmmakers, <i>Blade Runner</i> was an insanely inspirational film for me. However, I never cared for it as a kid. Sure, I LOVED the visuals of a dark futuristic 2019. I loved the atmosphere, but when I first saw the movie, I did not care for it. This is largely in part due to the version in which I saw- the theatrical cut. I hated the gaudy voice-over, explaining everything to me like I was a moron, and I hated the "happy ending" of Deckard and Rachel flying off into the sun. But then, one day, I decided to give the movie another chance, and I picked up the FINAL CUT. And let me tell you, it was way more satisfying as both a film and an experience. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not long after, <i>2049</i> was announced, and as a renewed fan, I was very pleased with the end result. Then, as 2018 came to an end, I realized I was ACTUALLY going to be living in LA, in 2019, and it dawned me- "Dude, I should make a <i>Blade Runner</i> short!" I literally said that to myself. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I gave it the ol' <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/blinky500/about" target="_blank">Blinky</a> try and thought about what I could possibly bring to the <i>Blade Runner</i> mythos. I knew going into this I did not want to give any definitive answers to any questions I raised, but rather HEAVILY imply things. That's how Ridley did it. That's how Denis did it. Who am I to go against the grain.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My story was pretty simple. I wanted a film that ended the way it began but from a different perspective. One of the biggest plot points in 99% of <i>Blade Runner-related</i> content is always- "Am I real?" Or, "What is real?" So a protagonist like </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Devrouax</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, having an existential crisis seemed like a good idea.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This film was shot in Los Angeles. I really wanted to make the thing look as legit as I could with a shoestring budget. So location scouting was key.</span></div>

<li><b><i>Blade Runner</i> Named Second Most Influential 'Milestone' Film by Cinematographers</b>. It has often been said that <i>Blade Runner</i>, Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi epic, was ahead of its time, and today it's proving that again with another accolade, this time from the American Society of Cinematographers.

<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Vangelis' new album "Nocturne" is now available on vinyl, CD, and through all <a href="https://decca.lnk.to/NocturnePF" target="_blank">digital channels</a>, including Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Youtube, etc.</b> The album features 11 brand new compositions, as well as 6 classic Vangelis compositions, including the <i>Love Theme</i> and <i>Longing</i> from the <i>Blade Runner</i> soundtrack, reinterpreted in the album's lush but relaxed style, with the (synth) piano firmly positioned at the front of the imaginary stage. On most tracks, the piano is backed with subtle synth strings or other laid-back accompaniment. One track breaks the pace: Intermezzo is performed only on synth strings<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></span></span></li>

When we think of the movie <i>Blade Runner</i>, any number of things come to mind: the opening <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeAprWRoeAQ" target="_blank">'Hades Landscape</a>' scene, the <a href="http://www.tboake.com/uncanny/gibson/bladerunner.htm" target="_blank">Tyrell Pyramids</a>, <a href="https://youtu.be/ZZ17UsZ0DEQ" target="_blank">animated billboards</a>, <a href="http://neatocoolville.blogspot.com/2014/11/neon-signs-of-blade-runner.html" target="_blank">neon signs</a>, the police '<a href="http://media.bladezone.com/contents/film/production/props/spinner2/flight_of_fantasy.php" target="_blank">Spinner</a>', Deckard's '<a href="https://youtu.be/ITiJkdL5QEQ" target="_blank">Blaster</a>', the <a href="https://youtu.be/lkBsqMtfbhw" target="_blank">Voight-Kampff machine</a>, the <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Un5rb0lCxY8/Wf91ctGGYNI/AAAAAAAAUfQ/HS8nIz3CBeAZwrl195ji27Cp-RVEE86IwCLcBGAs/s1600/Edward_James_Olmos_003.jpg" target="_blank">incessant rain</a>, one of its <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/quotes/qt0378263" target="_blank">memorable lines</a>, <a href="https://thevinylfactory.com/features/blade-runner-soundtrack/" target="_blank">Vangelis' timeless soundtrack</a>, among a plethora of other things, sights, and sounds.<br />
<br />
In this article, I will focus on the dirigible billboard––also referred to as the <i>Blade Runner blimp</i>, <i>advertising blimp</i>, <i>Off-world blimp</i>, <i>mother-blimp</i>, or simply, the <i>blimp</i>––from concept to construction. And I'd like to discuss its message and what it says about the portrayal of humanity in the dystopian vision of <i>Blade Runner</i>. And show how its influence was translated by the fans of this film through their art, words, and music.<br />

<br />
We are first introduced to this alien-looking aircraft––rolling out advertisements in between its howling siren horn––<a href="https://youtu.be/sZNzz4SaTYk" target="_blank">just before we meet Rick Deckard</a>. We hear the headline, “A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies. The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure.” After Deckard's attention is caught by the <i>blimp's</i> horn, inducing him to read its billboard, we learn a little more about its message. Depending on which <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Blade_Runner" target="_blank">version of <i>Blade Runner</i></a> you watch, the content varies––you'll either hear the message in its entirety or only partially, leaving it open to speculation.<br />
<br />
In the <i>Workprint</i>, we hear the entire advertisement. It starts with its beckoning call, at the opening of the second scene, before it fades into the background, finishing by the time Gaff comes into the scene.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<u>Announcement:</u> "A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies. The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure. New climate, recreational facilities, easy advancement, great pay. Plus, a loyal trouble-free companion, given to you upon arrival, absolutely free. Use your new friend as a personal body servant or a tireless field hand. The custom tailored genetically engineered humanoid replicant––designed especially for your needs. So, come on America! Let's put our team up there. Give this country another chance. Let's go to the colonies!"</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<u>Sponsor tag and slogan</u>: "This announcement has been brought to you by Shimago-Domínguez Corporation. Helping America into the new world." </blockquote>
<div>
In the <i>U.S</i>. and <i>International Theatrical</i> releases, it was edited––and the sentences fragmented. The announcement is there, for the most part, but the sponsor tag and their slogan had been removed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the <i>Director's Cut</i>, it was edited even more so, but with the sponsor tag and slogan restored.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<u>Sponsor tag and slogan</u>: "This announcement has been brought to you by Shimago-Domínguez Corporation. Helping America into the new world." </blockquote>
In the <i>Final Cut</i>, it too was slightly edited down. And the sponsor tag and slogan had, once again, been removed. [Why, oh why?!]<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

It is interesting to note that, in an earlier draft of the <i>Blade Runner</i> screenplay, by <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0266684/" target="_blank">Hampton Fancher</a> and <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0672459/" target="_blank">David Peoples</a>––dated February 23, 1981––there was a different narration. It was <i>pretty much</i> the same message, only more intrusive.<br />

EXT. OVERHEAD VIEW CITY - NIGHT<br />

<pre> We are looking down on a city of the future where
gigantic buildings dwarf the ancient skyscrapers --
of -- now as a huge blimp, flashing lights and
BLARING SOUND drifts slowly over the tall buildings.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE BLIMP - FROM BELOW - NIGHT
As the blimp drifts through the tall buildings ad-
vertisements appear on the curved sides of dirigible
and an accompanying SOUNDTRACK proclaims, with AM
enthusiasm, the virtues of Offworld emigration.

EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT
Lights from the blimp flash along the street and wipe
across the crowds of pedestrians as the VOICE TRACK
CONTINUES TO BLARE from above.
A portable noodle bar is crowded with customers, sit-
ting on stools slurping their food out of bowls.
DECKARD is standing near the noodle bar waiting for a
seat. He's in his thirties, wiry, athletic, rumpled,
used, unshaven. He's holding a newspaper, made of
tissue paper, open while he glances at the blimp
passing NOISILY overhead. Then he notices the
COUNTERMAN.

<div>
Also, note the change from the <i>Dominguez-Shimata colony</i> in this early draft to the <i>Shimago-Domínguez Corporation</i> in the final script. This minor detail had not escaped the attention of some hardcore <i>Blade Runner</i> fans, as you will read shortly.<br />
<br />
And, in the 1982 Marvel Comics adaptation of <i>Blade Runner</i>––written by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Goodwin_(comics)" target="_blank">Archie Goodwin</a> with art by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Williamson" target="_blank">Al Williamson</a>, <a href="http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Carlos_Garz%C3%B3n" target="_blank">Carlos Garzon</a> with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Green_(artist)" target="_blank">Dan Green</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Reese" target="_blank">Ralph Reese</a>––the advertisement went as follows. [It was probably based off of the aforementioned draft in order for its release to coincide with the movie's release.]<br />

But it <i>did</i> have a similar message that was spewed throughout the media.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The saying currently blabbed by posters, TV ads, and government junk mail, ran: <i>Emigrate or degenerate! The choice is yours!</i>" </blockquote>
As a matter of fact, Hampton Fancher used this idea from PKD's book in an earlier draft<i>—</i>dated<i> July 24, 1980.</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The only voice coming out clear is from the big 3-D TV on the back wall. As the mellow-mouthed TV announcer delivers the message, a Latin-looking beauty in a well-fitted maids uniform does a twirl, flashes a beguiling smile and glides OUT OF FRAME.</blockquote>

<h3>
<b>So, how did the <i>blimp</i> in <i>Blade Runner</i> come about? </b></h3>
</div>
<br />
The director and writers knew that they wanted to advertise for the Off-world colonies, so what better way than to use billboards!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0816170/" target="_blank">Tom Southwell</a>, who was hired as an illustrator for <i>Blade Runner</i>, and working on the billboard designs at the time of his following recollection, told Paul M. Sammon in an interview for his book, <i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/FutureNoirTheMakingOfBladeRunner/" target="_blank">Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner</a>,</i> published by HarperCollins Publishers, <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062699466/future-noir-revised-and-updated-edition/" target="_blank">Revised and Updated Edition, 2017</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"... on a Friday evening, <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0811435/" target="_blank">David L. Snyder</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">[art director]</span> called me and said Ridley <span style="font-size: x-small;">[director <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000631/" target="_blank">Ridley Scott</a>] </span>wanted to see the billboard rendering right away, up in <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0667223/" target="_blank">Lawrence Paull</a>'s <span style="font-size: x-small;">[production designer]</span> office at Sunset Gower Studios. So I go. Mr. Scott's first reaction was very positive, complete with expletives. Suddenly, after a brief discussion with Ridley, Larry, David, and associate producer <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0694138/" target="_blank">Ivor Powell</a>, we heard a noise coming from outside some open windows, ... The sound was coming from up avove. And as we looked up, the Goodyear Blimp came into view, .... Someone in our group said, <i>There's your billboard!</i> A week later,<i> the blimp</i> was in the latest script."</blockquote>
<br />
The <i>blimp</i> was the last major item on the effects docket. It was also among the last elements to be incorporated into the script. As director Ridley Scott explained in an interview with Cinefex magazine in 1982, and later republished in book form under the title <i><a href="https://titanbooks.com/1506-blade-runner-the-inside-story/" target="_blank">Blade Runner: The Inside Story</a></i>, by Don Shay, published by Titan Books, 2000:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The blimp is an extension of media advertising, and in a way, it's a throwback to my childhood during the second World War. My family was living in a suburb of London, and we had these <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/83/a4551383.shtml" target="_blank">barrage balloons</a> flying overhead." </blockquote>
<br />
As <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0238734/" target="_blank">David Dryer</a> (special effects photographic supervisor) said in the <i>Blade Runner Souvenir Magazine</i>, published by Ira Friedman in 1982:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The blimp is a wonderful image. It's the height of technology gone mad. It's part future and part past. The concept of this big dumb thing floating over the city<i>—</i>using that as a way of advertising in the future<i>—</i>is a wonderful idea." </blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
An idea that evolved from the <i>blimp</i> was to show the source of the spotlights that were seen throughout the film. In an interview, cinematographer <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005675/" target="_blank">Jordan Cronenweth</a>––featured in American Cinematographer––said:</div>
</div>
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
"The shafts of light was an idea that both Ridley and I had happened upon independently and had talked about. We shared that concept, and it became one of the major themes of the film photographically. We used it over and over again in different applications. One way we justified the constant presence of shafts of light was to invent airships floating through the night with enormously powerful beams emerging from their undersides. In the futuristic environment they bathe the city in constantly swinging lights. They were supposedly used for both advertising and crime control, much the way a prison is monitored by moving search lights. The shafts of light represent invasion of privacy by a supervising force, a form of control. You are never sure who it is; but even in the darkened seclusion of your home, unless you pull your shades down, you are going to be disturbed at one time or another.” –– <i>Blade Runner: Production Design and Photography</i>, by Herb Lightman and Richard Patterson. American Cinematographer, July 1982. </blockquote>

<h3>
<b>Benefiting from the research and development conducted for the special effects in the movie </b><b><i>Close Encounters of the Third Kind </i>was <i>Blade Runner's</i> 'Mother Blimp'.</b></h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
It was during the building of the <i>blimp</i> where the model shop crew referred to it as the <i>mother blimp</i>. This was because some of the crew (namely, model maker,<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0573344/" target="_blank"> Michael McMillen</a>, and special photographic effects supervisors, <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0874320/" target="_blank">Douglas Trumbull</a>, and <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0951047/" target="_blank">Richard Yuricich</a>) worked on the set of <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000229/" target="_blank">Steven Spielberg</a>'s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind" target="_blank">Close Encounters of the Third Kind</a>. And a lot of the technology and special effects that were used in that movie (specifically on the <i class="">mother ship</i>) was also used with the <i>blimp</i>, as is described in the following video.<br />

<br />
When the <i>blimp</i> is not blasting out its advertisement about the benefits of migrating to the Off-world colonies, it is heard broadcasting a haunting Japanese song. It is heard throughout the movie in fragments. We first hear a segment of it just before the blaring of the siren horn when we are introduced to the <i>blimp</i> in the second scene. Then we hear the Off-world advertisement. We hear another fragment of it when J.F. Sebastian and Pris enter the Bradbury Building together––we see it in the skylight as it is played through the loudspeaker. Then, during the transition from the <i>love scene</i> to when Pris is applying the raccoon make-up, we hear yet a little more. Later, when Deckard enters the Bradbury, we see it through the skylight once again. And then the scene where we see Roy put a nail through the palm of his hand straight through to the scene of him putting his head through the bathroom wall. And, lastly, while Deckard exits the out of the Bradbury onto the ledge, and starts to climb to the roof.<br />

For a better understanding and appreciation of this piece, I include the following excerpt from <a href="http://www.hopeandersonproductions.com/" target="_blank">Hope Anderson</a>'s essay, <i>The Smiling Geisha and Ogi no Mato: The Significance of Japanese Culture in "Blade Runner"</i>, from her book, <i><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=4-5VDQAAQBAJ&sitesec=buy&source=gbs_buy_r" target="_blank">On "Blade Runner": Four Essays</a>,</i> published by Bookbaby, 2013.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Part of Japan's classical canon, <i>Ogi No Mato</i> is rooted in Imperial Court music [<i>gagaku</i>], a type of <i>biwi</i> called <i>moso</i>, and Buddhist chants. The singer recounts an epic tale in a style that as much spoken as sung, employing guttural sounds, shouts, and shrieks. The song sounds strange to non-Japanese ears because it has no western equivalent. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Neither does the instrument that accompanies it. The <i>biwi</i> differs from the Western lute in structure, timbre, and playing method. Because it has no fixed tunings and loose strings, players achieve tension and pitch through the use of a plectrum [<i>bachi</i>]. Adding to the foreignness of the sound are long pauses called <i>ma</i>. Like negative space in visual art, these silences are a crucial element of the composition. In her rendition of <i>Ogi No Mato</i>, Handa also employs two modern <i>biwa</i> techniques: striking the <i>bachi</i> against the biwa for percussion; and scraping it against the strings for sound effects. These characteristics imbue a haunting song with even greater emotional power. Since the release of "Blade Runner," <i>Ogi No Mato</i> has become famous around the world, beloved by an audience that would have been unlikely to hear, let alone appreciate, Japanese classical music by other means. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Though the filmmakers surely chose <i>Ogi No Mato</i> for esthetic reasons, its origins and meaning provide “Blade Runner” with an added dimension. The lyrics are drawn from the <i>Heike Monogatari</i> [Tale of <i>Heike</i>], a monument of Japanese medieval literature that tells the story of two powerful clans, the Minamoto (also known as Genji) and the Taira (also known as Heike) and the Gempei War, which they fought from 1180-1185. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The episode behind <i>Ogi No Mato</i>, which has been wrongly described in English as a “William Tell Story,” involves the Battle of Yashima, which was fought off Taira's island refuge in southern Honshu. The Minamoto samurai Yasu No Yoichi volunteers to shoot an arrow through a small and distant target: the folding fan that the Taira has placed on their ship's mast for luck. Though only fifteen years old, Yasu succeeds in piercing the fan on a single try. This coup deals a crippling psychological blow to the Taira, who lose the Gempei War and are annihilated.</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why this song was used in the soundtrack is open to speculation. Might this song suggest, as with the destruction of the Taira, the fate of the replicants on Earth? This is one of two songs from the movie soundtrack that were not Vangelis compositions. [The other being <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Laughton" target="_blank">Gail Laughton</a>'s, <a href="https://youtu.be/8pmNxgW2XEI" target="_blank"><i>Pompeii 76 A.D</i></a>., from his album, <i><a href="https://www.laurelrecord.com/catalog6.html" target="_blank">Harps of Ancient Temples</a></i>.] Although we have learned about the subject of the song, I've yet to find a translation of the lyrics. [Or the Japanese lyrics, for that matter.] </div>

<h3>
<b>The prominent motif and symbolism of the <i>blimp</i></b></h3>
</div>
<br />
Advertising blimps float over the dystopian landscape of 2019 Los Angeles; their searchlights penetrating into every dark crevice and corner, as seen when Deckard enters the Bradbury Building. This gives the impression that the population is under constant, oppressive surveillance. And its announcement tells us of society's treatment of humanoid replicants as slaves. And of the around-the-clock commercialism as well. Below are some excerpts that explore some of these themes, and more, surrounding the <i>blimp</i>.<br />
<br />
In an article titled <i><a href="https://shutupigotwords.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/blade-runner-motifs-and-themes/" target="_blank">Blade Runner: Motifs and Themes</a></i>, by Gaijin-san, on the website 'Shut Up! I Got Words...', in 2010, he wrote:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We see eyes in the giant digital billboards that dominate the skyline, eyes in the faces of the geisha style models who seem both to advertise – and note that it seems to be cigarettes and drugs that they are pushing – and to watch the population of the city, even it seems in private: this is nowhere more obvious than when we look up through the glass ceiling of the Bradbury Building to see the advertising blimp looking back in at us. This is the eye as the manifestation of the oppression of what we now know as the surveillance state.</blockquote>

In Jamie Green's article titled <i><a href="https://jamiegreen.eu/existentialism/" target="_blank">Existentialism in Blade Runner</a></i>, in 2012, he wrote:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
<i>Blade Runner</i> portrays Los Angeles, 2019 as the antithesis of its own ‘Off-world Colonies’, advertised on blimps circling the city’s eternally rain-drenched skies. It is an apparition of all that has been left behind: the collection and reuse of all the detritus, repurposed, and retrofitted by a moribund denizenship. An allegory of contemporary culture. One that, infused with the mythology and aesthetic of Film Noir, provides the macrocosm by which the lexicon of characters in the film question their right to and perception of the human condition. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
The interminable invasion of advertisement and surveillance in Scott’s future is best exposed through the signature Venetian blinds of Film Noir “making visible their state of entrapment”<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (<a href="https://www.abc-clio.com/ABC-CLIOCorporate/product.aspx?pc=B3371C" target="_blank">Encyclopedia of Film Noir</a> by Geoff Mayer, Brian McDonnell, 2007: 75)</span>, recurrent throughout the film (11, 23, 32, 63, 71, 97, 109 mins [of the <i>Final Cut</i>]). The contrast between the shadows and prowling beams of light, cast across the scenes by the blimps and police outside, creates a personal and social insecurity. </blockquote>

And, in Chapter 4, <i>Revisiting the Biblical Tradition: Dante, Blake, and Milton in Blade Runner</i>, of Décio Torres Cruz's book, <a href="https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9781137439727" target="_blank"><i>Postmodern Metanarratives: Blade Runner and Literature in the Age of Image</i></a>, published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2014, he wrote:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In <i>BR</i>, Deckard's attention is caught by a flying ad vehicle (the Blimp), which announces colonies Off-world with replicants to work as slaves for prospective buyers. When Deckard looks up, the vehicle is shown as a flashing, eerie object. The Blimp, in its oppressive presence, endlessly advertising a better life in the Off-world colonies, may be associated with the devils that come to tempt and torment <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy" target="_blank">Dante's souls</a>. The text produced by the Blimp, however, suggests an interpretation of this sight as angels descending into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante)" target="_blank">Hell</a> to promise the chance to begin again in a new world, a chance of redemption in a place that may be considered <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatorio" target="_blank">Purgatory</a>. The place advertised assumes the features of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradiso_(Dante)" target="_blank">Paradise</a> when compared with life on Earth. The dismal sounds of tormented souls follow throughout, while the overhead Blimp proclaims a new beginning in a new world: "A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies. The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure. New climate, recreational facilities..." (<i>BR</i>) The Blimp and the massive presence of giant billboard screens in the film also evoke the ubiquitous eye that watches everything. The allusion to God's omnipresence in the form of a devilish technology and pervasive advertisement (similar to Orwell's <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(Nineteen_Eighty-Four)" target="_blank">Big Brother</a></i> in 1984) may be interpreted as a twist in the traditional biblical discourse. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Following this take, in the released theatrical version, Deckard's voice-over is heard announcing his sinful profession: "They don't advertise for killers in the newspaper. That was my profession. Ex-cop, ex-killer." (<i>BR</i>). The reference to his mortal sin (killing) is also allusive of the place he is in, and the reference to Hell becomes even clearer, this time to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante)#Seventh_Circle_(Violence)" target="_blank">Round One of Circle Seven</a>, where "The Violent Against Neighbors" are located in Dante's Inferno. The Blimp continues advertising the replicant servants that the immigrants to the outer colonies will be granted. The replicants are genetically engineered to work tirelessly and to perform any kind of task the customer wishes. The advertisement appeals to nationalistic feelings, by connecting emigration to a sports competition and by summoning the American people as a nation to put their team up in the colonies: "...absolutely free... Use your new friend as a personal body servant or a tireless field hand -- the custom-tailored genetically-engineered humanoid replicant designed especially for your needs. So come on America, let's put out team up there..." (<i>BR</i>).</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
"... the blimps high above promote emigration and literal flight to the wealthy; the electronic billboards below promote consumption and pacification (figurative flight) to the poor who roam the streets, with the clear suggestion that some people can leave, but others must stay." </blockquote>

The capitalist commercial presence is intrusive and inescapable as neon-signs clutter the streets and advertising blimps promote a ‘better life’ in the off-world colonies.

<br />
First, it was the <i>Dominguez-Shimata colony. </i>Then it was changed to the <i>Shimago-Domínguez Corporation. </i>So then, what's up with the <i>Shim</i><i>ata</i><i>-Dominguez Corporation</i>? Is it Shimata or Shimago?<br />
<br />
The <i>Shim<span class=""><u>ago</u></span>-Dominguez Corporation</i> and the <i>Shim<u>ata</u>-Dominguez Corporation</i> have been used interchangeably in the <i>Blade Runner</i> community. And, in the movie tie-in materials [<i>Blade Runner: A Story of the Future</i> and the 1982 Marvel Comics adaptation], both having been based on an early script, used <i>Shimata</i>––the <i>Dominguez-Shimata colony</i>.<br />
<br />
And even in <i>Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner</i>, when writing about the different cuts of <i>Blade Runner</i>, in particular, the <i>Director's Cut</i>, Paul Sammon wrote:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Added dialogue issuing from the Mother Blimp was inserted to fill the hole created by Deckard's missing voice-over, originally heard in the Domestic/International/ Diego Cuts while Deckard waited for a place at the Noodle Bar ("They don't advertise for killers in a newspaper ...")/ The <i>BR</i>DC-added blimp line consisted of a female voice stating, "This announcement has been brought to you by the Shimata-Dominguez Corporation, helping America into the New World." </blockquote>
While one can clearly <i>hear</i> it, when you click on the subtitle (in the <i>Director's Cut</i>), you can <i>see</i> that it is, in fact, the "<i>Shimago</i>-Dominguez Corporation". But that hasn't stopped the fandom from mixing them up––even the most obsessed fans. After all, the only cut of the film that we hear this sponsor tag and slogan in is in the <i>Workprint</i> and the <i>Director's Cut</i>. And most of us had not seen the <i>Workprint</i> until the release of the <i>Blade Runner</i> five-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition, in 2007. So, those of us most familiar with the <i>blimp advert</i> are those who have seen the <i>Director's Cut</i>, released in 1993.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_(1997_video_game)" target="_blank">Westwood Studio's <i>Blade Runner</i></a> computer game, released in 1997, avoided this altogether by omitting the tag at the end of their Off-world blimp audible track.<br />
<br />
And, in <i>Blade Runner: A Story of the Future,</i> only <i>Dominguez</i> was mentioned, not Shimago or Shimata.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Let's not play games, Deckard," Bryant said. "I don't have the energy, and you don't have the time. I've got four skin jobs walking the street that are just your meat. They killed twenty-three people when they busted loose on Dominguez. They hijacked a space shuttle. We found the shuttle in the desert a hundred miles from here. Empty."</blockquote>
The <i>Shimago-Domínguez Corporation</i> seemed to be one of the lesser explored details in <i>Blade Runner</i> by the fandom. It wasn't even included in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130908021813/http://www.brmovie.com/" target="_blank">BRMovie.com</a>'s <i><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130908235939/http://www.brmovie.com:80/Encyclopedia/index.html" target="_blank">Encyclopedia Blade Runner</a>, </i>or in <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/kipplezone/main" target="_blank">KippleZone</a>'s <i><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/kipplezone/dadoes-brglossary" target="_blank">Kipplepedia</a> </i>[Until now.].<br />
<i><br /></i> Speculating about the names, <i>Shimago</i> and <i>Shimata</i>: are either of them plausible candidates to partner up with Dominguez? Doing a google search for those names came up with a couple of locations associated with them. There is a railway station in Japan called the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimata_Station" target="_blank">Shimata Station</a>. And there is a <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/gYZhs383bqp" target="_blank">Shimago Post Office</a>, in Ariakemachi Ōshimago, Amakusa-shi, Kumamoto-ken, Japan. But I'm not convinced that they had any bearing on the name selection. So, what about the names themselves? Shimata <i>is</i> a Japanese surname. But, <i>Shimago</i>? I could not find any such name. So, at this point, only the writers can help to clear up this conundrum. In the meantime, we can only go by what we <i>hear</i> and <i>see </i>in the <i>Director's Cut</i>; the <i>Shimago-Domínguez Corporation.</i><br />
<br />
Despite all of this, the fans that <i>did</i> embrace this fictitious corporation did so cleverly. You'll find fan-made logos (mostly for T-shirts) with the Off-world colonies logo on it, featuring a hodgepodge of sponsor tags––<i><a href="https://cinemainvasion.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/bladerunner2_0021.jpg" target="_blank">Dominguez-Shimata Corporation</a></i>––<a href="https://www.neatoshop.com/product/Off-World?tag=102139" target="_blank"><i>Shim</i><i>ata</i><i>-Dominguez Corporation</i></a>––<i><a href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/sunset-store/works/31915267-off-world-colonies-blade-runner" target="_blank">Shimago Dominguez Corporation</a>, </i>and <a href="https://image.spreadshirtmedia.com/image-server/v1/compositions/111110079/views/1,width=650,height=650,appearanceId=2,version=1543820067/inspired-by-the-movie-blade-runner-and-book-the-film-was-based-on-this-shirt-advertises-the-famous-off-world-colonies-great-t-shirt-or-gift-for-blade-runner-fans.jpg" target="_blank">this one</a> sporting the original PKD-penned slogan from his book <i>Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?</i>––"Emigrate or degenerate! The choice is yours!"<br />
<br />
Not only was this fictional Off-world colony sponsor's name rendered on T-shirts, but also onto a prop replica. In some of the older <a href="http://futurewarstories.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-weapons-of-sci-fi-deckards-blaster.html" target="_blank"><i>Blaster</i> prop kits made by Rick Ross</a>, the name "Shimago Dominguez Corporation" was stamped on the barrel. Later, this had to be removed due to legal issues with the film company. Shortly after this, he would develop the name <i>PK-D</i>.<br />
<br />
Globalization also is reflected in the name of the <i>Shimago-Domínguez Corporation.</i> Combine that with the constant, oppressive surveillance, what are the implications of this? The fan-created Shimata-Dominguez Corporation website helps in addressing some of these issues––or, at least, to help bridge the gap between fiction and reality.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">

And, because there was no elaborate vision of the Off-world colonies portrayed in the movie or book, which are, nevertheless, the <i>New World</i> for humanity, I felt it was an opportunity to explore the world of <i>Blade Runner</i> as seen through the eyes of this fictitious corporation.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>What are your goals for this website?</b><br />
In 2013, its goal was to elaborate and extrapolate the bit of the story which is happening Off-world. It was done so by combining existing information, essays, analyses, and articles––either fictional or real––that were emanating from real-world companies and institutions. At that time I was surprised how pieces of existing information could be combined together to extend the story without altering its foundations. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In 2018, with the amount of information and revelations that have been released to the public (or at least to information seekers), it became clear that links had to be made between science-fiction and reality. Simply extrapolating a fiction became insufficient as facts caught up, matched, and surpassed fiction stories! </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As we approach 2019, <i>Blade Runner</i> and its narrative are becoming more real than most of us could have expected in 1968 or 1982. This website intends to be one of the many existing launchpads to understanding the deep aspects of our society and the potential future of humanity. </blockquote>

<b>When did you get into <i>Blade Runner</i>?</b><br />
*memories* My interest in the film started in the mid-nineties. It probably started a Saturday afternoon, at the age of 16, with a connection through music––while listening to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bochum_Welt" target="_blank">Bochum Welt</a>'s "<a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Bochum+Welt/Scharlach+Eingang" target="_blank">Scharlach Eingang</a>".

There are certainly other groups in a similar vein, such as that of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Paradinas" target="_blank">µ-Ziq</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphex_Twin" target="_blank">Aphex Twin</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Future_Sound_of_London" target="_blank">The Future Sound of London</a>, among many others. I was surprised by how music can influence the choice of a movie that hadn't caught my attention before. The VHS tape of <i>Blade Runner,</i> recorded from a TV broadcast, was waiting to be rediscovered again in a drawer below the TV set. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
With a second viewing, it really impressed me. I wanted to know more by reading analyses and interviews which helped to uncover some of the deep aspects of the film, those I could not understand on my own. I discovered many versions of the soundtrack as well as fan-work and mania around the film. Next, I read P.K. Dick's novel. Then I watched the various versions of the film, played the video game, read K.W. Jeter's "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_2:_The_Edge_of_Human" target="_blank">Blade Runner 2</a>", and finally read the great <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep%3F_(comic_book)" target="_blank">comic adaptation</a> by Tony Parker. </blockquote>

<i>Blimp</i> CGI and scale models</h3>

In 2010, <i>kazuchoice</i> produced a fan-edit of <i>Blade Runner</i> titled the <i><a href="http://whitedragoncut.com/" target="_blank">White Dragon Cut</a> version 4.0</i>. It has been the most sought-after <i>Blade Runner</i> fan-edit ever! It was even mentioned in Paul Sammon's book <i>Future Noir</i> <span style="font-size: x-small;">[Revised and Updated Edition, 2017]</span>––in Chapter XVIII The Legend Grows, under subsection <i>The Blade Runner Virus: Fame, Fashion, and Fan-edits</i>. Below is how he created one of the scenes featuring the <i>blimp</i>. Here, the <i>blimp</i> is seen floating by the Bradbury Building. [He is currently working on version 5.]<br />

Back in 2011 through into 2012, Jason Eaton created a 1/2 studio-scale <i>blimp</i>, featuring the original ads, four servo controlled spotlights, and lots of LEDs. This model represents three years of patient digging and research. [Note the sponsor tag variation: <i>Shimagu-Dominguez Corporation</i>.] More images on his website <a href="http://www.mystery10.com/project/blade-runner-blimp/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

<br />
The <i>Blade Runner</i> <i>blimp</i> is just one of the many things that come to mind when we think of <i>Blade Runner</i>. And, depending on which version of the film that we're familiar with, its message is open to speculation––but that's nothing new to the <i>Blade Runner</i> fandom.<br />
<br />
The <i>blimp</i> represents corporate power and a capitalist commercial presence through its intrusive and inescapable adverts. And it also represents oppressive surveillance as witnessed by its spotlights as they probe into buildings and over streets and alleyways.<br />
<br />
The <i>blimp</i> has been associated with the devil that comes to tempt and torment the poor souls of those left on Earth––or as angels descending into Hell to promise the chance to begin again in a new world, a chance of redemption in a place that may be considered Purgatory, in Dante's <i>Divine Comedy</i>.<br />
<br />
It is futuristic, yet old; retrofitted like much of the technology and architecture in <i>Blade Runner</i>.<br />
<br />
An alien life-form, programming our minds and contaminating our souls.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span> <span style="text-align: center;">The promise of a new life––to begin again. </span>Could there be such a paradise?<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">An advertisement for hope</span><span style="text-align: center;">––</span><span style="text-align: center;">for those who meet their stringent qualifications. Or an advertisement of despair</span><span style="text-align: center;">––keeping those who don't qualify in their place.</span>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
However you care to interpret the <i>blimp</i>, I cannot imagine the dystopian world of <i>Blade Runner</i> without the <i>blimp's </i>looming presence.<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alcon Television Group, a division of <a href="https://www.alconent.com/" target="_blank">Alcon Entertainment</a>, is currently developing <i>Blade Runner: Black Lotus</i>, an anime series inspired by Denis Villeneuve's majestic <i>Blade Runner 2049</i>. Adult Swim and Crunchyroll are set to distribute the series, <a href="https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2018/11/29/crunchyroll-and-adult-swim-team-up-for-all-new-blade-runner-black-lotus-anime-series" target="_blank">Crunchyroll</a> announced Thursday. Crunchyroll is a widely used streaming service that specializes in anime and has recently begun producing its own original anime series.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Blade Runner: Black Lotus</i> is “set to feature top creators from Japan” and will consist of 13 30-minute episodes produced by <i>Ultraman</i> animation studio Sola Digital Arts, according to Crunchyroll. Plot details are under wraps for now, but we know that <i>Blade Runner: Black Lotus</i> will take place in the year 2032, 17 years before the events of <i>Blade Runner 2049</i>, and feature some familiar characters from the universe.

First, he's known for directorial work on the series <i>Cowboy Bebop</i> and <i>Samurai Champloo</i>; second, he is apparently also overseeing the live-action <i>Cowboy Bebop</i> series announced a mere one day earlier by Netflix.

<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The 4-hour cut of Blade Runner 2049 had much longer "baseline test" scenes.</b> Denis Villeneuve piqued the interest of “Blade Runner 2049” fans when <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2017/10/blade-runner-2049-four-hour-directors-cut-1201892069/" target="_blank">he revealed</a> in December that the first cut of his science-fiction sequel was four hours long. The director admitted his four-hour version was “pretty strong,” but he said the 163-minute theatrical version was an overall better movie and less self-indulgent. For editor Joe Walker, a regular collaborator of Villeneuve’s after “Sicario” and “Arrival,” cutting down that four-hour cut proved challenging. Walker recently spoke to Collider about what he left in and took out, and the reasons why for each.

<li><b style="font-weight: bold;">The Blade Runner Franchise May Be Headed To Television </b>According to an article posted on Roger Friedman’s <a href="http://www.showbiz411.com/2018/09/16/blade-runner-2049-a-cult-hit-with-disappointing-box-office-headed-to-tv-as-series" target="_blank">Showbiz411</a> site, sources close to the former Hollywood Reporter correspondent say a television series set in the world of the two films is being developed on a fast track by producers associated with the franchise. While it does seem possible for Harrison Ford’s Deckard and/or Ryan Gosling’s K to appear on the show should it air, nothing is set in stone at this point.

<li>‘<b>Blade Runner’ Universe to Expand With More Novels</b> | Alcon Entertainment produced “Blade Runner 2049,” which was produced by Alcon co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, along with Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Yorkin. Johnson, Kosove, and Titan’s co-founders, Nick Landau and Vivian Cheung, said the companies will develop and publish a variety of both fiction and non-fiction print media with comics and graphic novels that dive deeper into the “Blade Runner” world as well as a variety of publications focused on the visual and technical sides of the production process. Alcon Media Group and Titan Publishing are partnering on a new co-publishing venture initially focused on the “Blade Runner” universe.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Kosove and Johnson said, “In partnering with the exceptional Titan Comics and Titan Books, we’re confident that the world of ‘Blade Runner’ will continue to organically grow in a way that refuses to sacrifice the quality, tone, and high standards of this beloved property.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“We are extremely excited to be publishing ‘Blade Runner’ comics and illustrated books,” Landau and Cheung said. “The ‘Blade Runner’ universe has barely been explored; there is so much more there. It’s an honour to be bringing this world to life in new ways for a new audience — and to reveal tales from that universe that you’ve never seen before.” More <a href="https://variety.com/2018/film/news/blade-runner-novels-1202871904/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </blockquote>

<li><b><i>Blade Runner 2049</i> Game in Open Beta, Not in <i>Play Store |</i></b> <i>Next Games</i> announced back in June that it was working with Alcon Entertainment to create a mobile RPG based on <i>Blade Runner 2049</i>, and that game is now out in open beta, though it’s not listed in the <i>Play Store</i> as of this writing. Officially, you’re supposed to obtain the APK file for the game from an official source, but an unofficial APK will work. The game itself is a dark cyberpunk romp just like the film it’s based on and sees you building parties to take on replicants and other foes in classic turn-based RPG combat as you work through the game’s storyline. Along the way, you’ll make choices that will affect the outcome of the story and your relations with other characters.

Something that caught my attenttion in the new version,it has these super huge ballerinas in white at the beginning, ballerina in white links to the famous Swan Lake. The white swan (DR. Ana Stelline) is trapped in a lake, and the black swan (K) replaces her to meet the prince. K is a new version of replicants made by Wallace, the black swan is Odile, evil sorcerer Rothbart's daughter. So the parallels makes sense. K believing he was real, was heartbroken to find he was never the chosen one, but he did not burst out in rage, and showed his humanity to give the white swan a happy ending. #bladerunner #bladerunner2049 #ryangosling #swanlake #fanart #carlajuri #officerk #digitalart #moviefanart #photoshopart #instaart #ballerina #replicants #twins #art #artistoninstagram #artistshouts</a></div>

<i>Blade Runner</i> debuted on June 25, 1982, in over 1200 theatres, throughout the United States. However, it had not lived up to box office expectations. It could be said that <i>Blade Runner</i> was the most influential box-office-flop-turned-cult-classic film of all time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Blade Runner</i> has become one of the most popular and influential science-fiction films of all time. Hailed for its production design depicting a "retrofitted" future, <i>Blade Runner</i> is a leading example of neo-noir cinema. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The film has influenced many science fiction films, video games, anime, and television series. And it helped introduce the work of Philip K. Dick to a wider audience. </div>

Thankfully, Seismic has announced that its new VR game <i>Blade Runner: Revelations</i> came out on May 4, bridging the gap between the original film and last year’s sequel, <i>Blade Runner 2049</i>. More <a href="https://venturebeat.com/2018/05/03/blade-runner-revelations-will-use-vr-to-bridge-films-stories-on-may-4/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>There have been some nods to <i>Blade Runner</i> in season four of Amazon Studio's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosch_(TV_series)" target="_blank">Bosch</a>.</b> From shots taken inside (and outside) of The Bradbury Building to Bosch saying to his ex-wife (over the telephone) "Have a better one." Pretty cool.</span></li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Faithfully reproducing <i>Blade Runner's</i> final script</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Faithfully reproducing <i>Blade Runner's</i> final script––screenplay dated <a href="http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/blade-runner_shooting.html" target="_blank">February 23, 1981</a>––kazuchoice has resumed work on <i>Blade Runner: The White Dragon Cut, ver. 5</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I last had contact with kazuchoice, back in May of 2012, he was still editing what he then called the <i>White Dragon Finale Cut</i>. But then he stopped, and I hadn't heard from him since. That is, until today. He wrote, "The biggest reason for it not being released back when I wanted was that the two major software programs (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Cut_Pro" target="_blank">Final Cut Pro</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_(software)" target="_blank">Shake</a>), which was the main axis of the <a class="" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh" target="_blank">Mac</a>'s replacement editing, did not work on the new Mac! Besides, the latest version of Final Cut Pro was not compatible with the previous data! Somewhat recently, <span style="background-color: white;">the motivation for editing began to burn in my heart</span>; I pulled out the old Mac, and data containing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID" target="_blank">RAID</a> that was stored in the back of the closet, and resumed editing!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <i>White Dragon Cut</i> was mentioned in the latest edition of Paul M. Sammon's book, "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Future-Noir-Revised-Updated-Making/dp/0062699466/ref=pd_sim_14_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0062699466&pd_rd_r=BF15C61QWB3N6VH8JTXE&pd_rd_w=mw9RJ&pd_rd_wg=R3eUr&psc=1&refRID=BF15C61QWB3N6VH8JTXE" target="_blank">Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner</a>." As a result, there has been an increase of fans searching the net for it. Although a torrent was made available for the last version (4) of it back in 2013, the hefty 10.7 GB may have deterred its propagation. However, some have recently made it available via cloud file sharing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this new version, kazuchoice is making some new, bold edits!</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Sammon's book, some changes were made at the editing stage of the film's production. Among them are the following three points––where the flow of the movie was changed dramatically.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From Zhora's retirement to Deckard and Rachel's love scene</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From Deckard and Rachel's love scene to Sebastian's apartment</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Deckard and Roy's chase scene</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In "Blade Runner: White Dragon Cut version 4" (hereinafter referred to as "WDC 4"), 1 and 3 have been reworked as scripted. In "Blade Runner: White Dragon Cut version 5" (hereinafter referred to as "WDC 5"), 2 is further reworked as scripted––aiming for full reproduction of the script dated February 23, 1981.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In WDC 4, almost all the deleted cuts that were available were added to the main volume. There are also short ones, in as little as 1 second in length, that were added. In addition, kazuchoice had to figure out where all the deleted scenes went with the main scene that the cut was in. It took several months to classify the cuts––<span style="background-color: white;">adding up to 345 in WDC4. A</span><span style="background-color: white;">nd he will add up to more 4 deleted cuts in WDC5</span>!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Attention color correction and scratch removal </span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since the deleted scenes were not color-adjusted to fit with the rest of the movie, color correction was performed in WDC 4 for consistency. In WDC 5, complete removal of scratches (scratches on the film) that remained on the deleted cuts was performed. Scratch removal was performed manually while confirming each and every scratch.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Re-create new scenes that were not filmed</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In WDC 4, the scenes that were not filmed due to budget restraints, although they were in the final script, were reproduced perfectly.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leon hiding on the ceiling of the apartment</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Frozen Chew</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zhora's Snake Dance, etc.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WDC 5 remakes "Frozen Chew" and "Zhora's Snake Dance" In addition, in WDC 4, the police spinner drawn with still images is reproduced with CG under the cooperation of Toyshop Graphics, Inc.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Among the production sketches Syd Mead drew for Blade Runner, there are many that depict the appearance of Los Angeles in 2019. Ridleyville was made based on Syd Mead's sketch, but it merely reproduced a small part of the sketch.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WDC 5 challenges Ridleyville's production sketch of Syd Mead's by completing the reproduction. </span></div>

Despite earning critical acclaim (IndieWire gave the film an A- review), the long-awaited sequel just couldn’t catch on in theaters. “2049” tapped out with just $92 million in the U.S. and $259 million worldwide, well below the estimated $300 million the studio spent on production and marketing. But it turns out the sequel is still making money. Read more <a href="http://www.indiewire.com/2018/04/blade-runner-2049-dvd-blu-ray-sales-top-seller-2018-1201951120/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</li>

<li>The following vids are of a series of special episodes that were created by the "Let's Play Blade Runner" team. The aim is basically to see as much as possible of the material in the game, and what is impossible to see with a single playthrough. The basic idea here, by the creators, was that each playthrough of the game was (potentially) different from the previous ones, thus increasing the replayability value. The missing content was recreated using the BladeRunner engine (WIP) in ScummVM. Enjoy!</li>
