Blade Runner to get a 30th Anniversary celebration at July’s San Diego Comic-Con

With Blade Runner just celebrating the 30th anniversary of its US release, it seems only fitting that some celebrations are in order.

This month’s San Diego Comic-Con will see just that, at a special celebration event for the film on Friday, July 13th.

According to the Comic-Con website:

7:00-8:00 Blade Runner 30th Anniversary Celebration — In 1982, Blade Runner, director Ridley Scott’s classic adaptation of SF master Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was released to theaters and forever changed the face of cinematic science fiction. Filmmaker, BR expert, and acclaimed author Paul M. Sammon (Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner) hosts a 30th anniversary celebration of this influential masterpiece. Sammon (who was present throughout BR’s filming and met Philip K. Dick) will interview numerous BR cast and crewmembers, including BR art director David Snyder and BR: The Final Cut producer Charles de Lauzirika. Be there to meet these and other very special BR guests.

With Fox putting on some sort of Prometheus event at Comic-Con as well, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ridley Scott also makes an appearance, but either way this promises to be a real treat for fans.

Happy 30th Birthday Blade Runner!

On June 25th 1982, Blade Runner was released in the USA to a deafening chorus of ‘Meh’.

Hobbled by a studio-mandated happy ending and pointless voice-over narration from a very bored-sounding Harrison Ford, it would be some time before Ridley Scott’s classic would be fully appreciated.

Now of course, the film is rightly regarded as one of THE all-time great entries in the sci-fi genre, and countless words have been used to discuss the movie’s intricacies, including this newly published piece by Nathan Hardisty.

Rather than then let me waffle on, why not head over to this page at the BFI, which includes a brief write-up, a nice collection of stills and video from March 2009′s ‘Blade Runner’ day, where guest of honour Ridley Scott shares his thoughts about the radical influence of the film on architecture, fashion and design, before being awarded a BFI Fellowship for his outstanding contribution to film culture.
