Thanks for your wonderful uniqueness Rutger!

That scene is just as brilliant today Dave. Rutger was mesmerising, he outshone Harrison Ford by miles!

Blade Runner director Ridley Scott pays tribute to 'gentle giant' Rutger Hauer

In the wake of Rutger Hauer’s death at 75, filmmaker Ridley Scott has paid tribute to the actor, whom he famously directed in the 1982 science fiction classic Blade Runner.

“Rutger was the gentle giant,” Scott said in a statement Wednesday. “I don’t know who was more nervous on that first morning of the first day on set in 1982… I think the film is called Blade Runner. We helped each other through the entire process because it was very challenging. I’ll miss him.”

For Hauer, who died July 19 at his home in the Netherlands after a short illness, Blade Runner marked one of his signature performances. He played the runaway “replicant” Roy Batty, who was pursued by Harrison Ford’s titular detective, Rick Deckard, in a dystopian future Los Angeles.

Thank you, BigDave.

Tears in the Rain

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

News from  the Netherlands

Rutger Hauer was buried on the 24th in a private family ceremony. The grand duke of supernatural-themed films has some parting gifts to share with us. He will posthumously appear in the 2019 miniseries A Christmas Carol as well as the upcoming movies Emperor and Viy 2: Journey to China.

He has given not only his talent, but his heart to the world through extensive environmental activism and creation of an aids awareness organization The Rutger Hauer Starfish Foundation.
