4.0 out of 5 stars
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe., April 13, 1998
This review is from: Blade Runner Sketchbook (Paperback)
This book provides interesting insight into the production designs of the cult hit film Blade Runner, released in 1982 and directed by Ridley Scott. The book was obviously prepared before shooting even started in the movie, because it provides reference material for scenes that were never produced. like the Cryo-Crypt that the real Edlon Tyrell was supposed to be sleeping in. One dissappointing thing is the way the book was printed.. brown on a tan paper, attempting to imitate some imagined 'sketchbook look'. this low-contrast method of presentation saps a great amount of detail from what were originally mostly color illustrations. But, it does provide a good look at the designs of Syd Mead (and others) for the film.
