  Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut

  £275.00

  “Man Has Made His Match… Now It’s His Problem.”

  Ridley Scott’s visionary science-fiction masterpiece returned to cinemas in 1992 with “Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut”, promoted by this impressive 30 × 40-inch UK Quad poster. John Alvin’s celebrated artwork places Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard and Sean Young’s Rachael above the neon-lit towers, airborne vehicles and rain-soaked cityscape of futuristic Los Angeles.

  Loosely adapted from Philip K. Dick’s influential 1968 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, the film follows a specialist police officer tasked with hunting genetically engineered replicants. Alvin’s atmospheric composition perfectly reflects its fusion of futuristic spectacle, film noir and philosophical mystery. This Director’s Cut removed the original narration and presented Scott’s darker, more enigmatic vision to a new generation of cinemagoers.

  Presented rolled, (as issued) this highly collectable British poster remains in excellent unrestored condition. With tremendous visual impact, it makes a superb display piece for collectors of Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, Harrison Ford and classic science-fiction cinema

  Trivia: The film suffered at the box office, because it opened at the same time as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982). The movie The Thing (1982) suffered a similar fate due to the same reason. Although there was praise for the visual style, word of mouth about the film’s slow pace and bleak themes quickly caused a decrease in attendance ratings. Both movies would later reach cult status and receive critical praise.
