Blade Runner Intro Re-Cut to Use Actual Los Angeles, November 2019, and It Still Works

Art imitating life imitating art

By Rain Noe - November 5, 2019

The opening scene to Blade Runner, kicked off with a card indicating it's set in November 2019, depicts a hellish Los Angeles dominated by industrial structures belching flame.

Well, now that it's actually November 2019, BoingBoing's Rob Beschizza re-cut the intro with footage of actual present-day L.A.--and it still works, perfectly.

  That's basically Boing Boing's mission statement.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
