Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner, by Paul M. Sammon - SIGNED

Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner, by Paul M. Sammon. 1996 first printing softcover. 441 pages, very nice condition. SIGNED.

The 1992 release of the "Director's Cut" only confirmed what the international film cognoscenti have known all along: Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, based on Philip K. Dick's brilliant and troubling sci-fi novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, still rules as the most visually dense, thematically challenging, and influential SF film ever made. Future Noir is the story of that triumph. The making of Blade Runner was a seven-year odyssey that would test the stamina and the imagination of writers, producers, special effects wizards, and the most innovative art directors and set designers in the industry. A fascinating look at the ever-shifting interface between commerce and the art that is modern Hollywood, Future Noir is the intense, intimate, anything-but-glamorous inside account of how the work of sci-fi's most uncompromising author was transformed into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic.
