Why Was 'Blade Runner' Almost Ruined By Studio Execs?
The Big Picture Few films have undergone such reappraisal and a pop-cultural evolution like Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Hitting theaters in the blockbuster-crowded summer of 1982, the neo-noir science-fiction thriller starring Harrison Ford failed to make much of an impression among most contemporary moviegoers, pulling in a disappointing box office haul and receiving lukewarm reviews from critics.
Test Audiences Thought 'Blade Runner' Was Too Confusing By the time Blade Runner test screened for audiences in early 1982, director Ridley Scott and his filmmaking colleagues had undergone a grueling production. Having shot for months in dank, dirty sound stages and under a constant cover of darkness, coupled with fraught working relationships among cast and crew members, Scott and producer Michael Deeley were eager to see how their film would play with the public.
Aside from cutting and adding scenes to his film, Scott also decided to have Harrison Ford record a voiceover narration, something the actor fiercely objected to despite its inclusion in the script and his contract. In a 2002 interview with Playboy, Ford revealed, "When I first agreed to do the film, I told Ridley there was too much information given to the audience in narration.
