Revised/Updated Edition - 1st printing.

By Paul Sammon.

Thirty-five years after Blade Runner's original release, the highly anticipated, long-awaited sequel will re-acclimate fans to the dystopian, neo-noir futuristic world of Blade Runner.

In Future Noir, insider and cinephile Paul M. Sammon offers them a deeper understanding of this cult phenomenon that is storytelling and visual filmmaking at its best. An intensive, intimate and anything-but-glamorous behind-the-scenes account, Future Noir explores how Ridley Scott purposefully used his creative genius to transform the work of science fiction's most uncompromising author into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic that would reinvent the genre.

The revised edition includes a new chapter on Blade Runner: The Final Cut, a new chapter on the sequel Blade Runner 2049, a 2007 interview with Harrison Ford, and an exclusive new interview with Rutger Hauer.

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 480 pages, B&W.
