How the past made the future

Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner (2007)

Containing interviews with all the major cast, crew and other people involved with the film this is the making of documentary that was released along with the Blade Runner: The Final Cut DVD and Blu-rays.

The trouble with making of documentaries is that they often tend to devolve into a circle jerk of mutual appreciation and unfortunately this is the case here despite the film having a number of problems during production. While the major issues that arose during production of Blade Runner are touched on it is not with any depth or willingness to put it with in a wider scope of how Hollywood works. There are some interesting hints at how the special effects were achieved without the aid of computers and this is definitely the most interesting part of the piece but again does not really go into any depth.

3/5
