Customer Reviews

You cant help but love this book, by a fan for the fans5
From one of the best films of modern cinemas comes one of the best tie-in books i have ever read. You cant help but get lost in the authors obvious love of the source and if your love for the film does not grow after reading this then you should as many replicants before you be simply put into "retirement"

An Enjoyable Encyclopediac Tome5
Quite a claim, but this book has it all. The quintissential 'making of' in one source, the last word in 'Blade Runner' background. Of real interest is the pre-pre-production (that's two 'pre's) detailing the time and effort that went into even getting to the set-building/casting stage. You'll read it several times and be thankful for it.

fascinating insight into one of the best films ever made5
If like many other people you are a fan of the movie then this book is a must buy. It has everything that you wanted to know about the film, from its roots in the novel by Philip K Dick through to the production of the film and so on. There are also various insider comments from people working on the film including problems on the set including the 't shirt' war. An excellent read.
