"Dangerous Days - Making Blade Runner" is a great documentary about the making of "Blade Runner," but in a way it's about the fight of making anything that's never been seen before. It stands out for me as being a film made by real artists fighting with commerce.
"Blade Runner" was the first film I posted on this blog and I know this may seem too soon, but this documentary stands on its own. I love this as much as "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" directed by Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper about Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" yet I dig it for other reasons.
Culled from something like 80 interviews and hours of never-before-seen outtakes and lost footage. It covers conception, casting, art, set design, and its release, and reaction. There's interviews with actors, writers, Ridley Scott, financiers, production designers, and people who were involve with the movie, as well as other directors like Guillermo del Toro who were inspired by the film.
One could learned a lot about filmmaking by watching this.
