I saw this and immediately thought of Roy.

Roy?

Fred said...

From Blade Runner. Wasn't that his name? Perhaps I got it wrong. The last replicant who saved Dekker's life.

CyberKitten said...

Ah.. Roy Batty/Rutger Hauer. I see what you mean........ But it's not him [grin]

BTW - You looking forward to the new film? It certainly *looks* the part.

CyberKitten,

I didn't think so, even though he's what popped up when I first saw the photo. I didn't remember the scars and the blood on his face at the end.

I haven't seen or heard much about the new film, so I really don't know what to expect. Is it a remake or some sort of a sequel set in the same universe?

'Bladerunner 2049' is a continuation of the story 30 years later - including a Harrison Ford (playing Deckard) 30 years older. The trailers definitely look the part and the original was one of my all time faves and I've seen it over 50 times so far.

The character in the artwork is Colonel Miles Quaritch played by Stephen Lang in the original 2009 Avatar.

CyberKitten,

I definitely shall have to watch it then. Blade Runner is one of my top ten all time favorites. In fact it's one of the few DVDs that I have. I've got the Ultimate Collection with all five versions and even did a post on them. Do you know when it's due out?

CyberKitten,

I saw Avatar, but I don't remember him.

Bladerunner 2049 is due out on 6th October 2017 in the US and, it seems, the rest of the world too. I own the Ultimate Collection too. It was a gift to myself after a small lottery win.

The Colonel was the main bad guy in the movie. He was really good - in a bad way [grin]

Fred said...

OK, he led the corporation's military force, if I remember correctly.

Fred said...

Thanks for the date. It will probably show up on Netflix sometime early in 2018.

I just checked Netflix. BLADE RUNNER 2049 is listed in the SAVED section, so I put it in my queue.
