MY BIG SCORE: BLADE RUNNER SOUVENIR MAGAZINE & AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER








Yesterday I discovered this treasure you see above at Frank & Son's Collectible Warehouse. Each magazine pictured (the Blade Runner Souvenir Magazine and the American Cinematographer) were each $5 so I snatched them up.

Inside I discovered pages and pages of full color (and some b&w) photos and interviews with PKD, Ridley, cast and crew, etc. and some images (shown above) that are not normally seen (at least by me) in the regular stock photos from the Blade Runner production.

The one image that really sets me off is the street scene image which at first looks like it must be one of Syd Mead's paintings but upon closer inspection is actually a photgraph of the set itself. Gorgeous!

Of course, I checked on Ebay (and you're welcome to do the same) and discovered that each of these is currently going for about $100 each. I got both for $10.

SCORE!!
