si sa fiti uite-asa de fericiti:
LA MULȚI ANI!
Succesul comercial nu a fost deloc mare insa filmul a devenit apoi un clasic cult si e privit drept unul din cele mai bune facute vreodata.I happened to see the Channel 7 TV program "Hooray For Hollywood" tonight with the segment on BLADE RUNNER. (Well, to be honest, I didn't happen to see it; someone tipped me off that BLADE RUNNER was going to be a part of the show, and to be sure to watch.) Jeff, after looking --and especially after listening to Harrison Ford discuss the film-- I came to the conclusion that this indeed is not science fiction; it is not fantasy; it is exactly what Harrison said: futurism. The impact of BLADE RUNNER is simply going to be overwhelming, both on the public and on creative people -- and, I believe, on science fiction as a field. Since I have been writing and selling science fiction works for thirty years, this is a matter of some importance to me. In all candor I must say that our field has gradually and steadily been deteriorating for the last few years. Nothing that we have done, individually or collectively, matches BLADE RUNNER. This is not escapism; it is super realism, so gritty and detailed and authentic and goddam convincing that, well, after the segment I found my normal present-day "reality" pallid by comparison. What I am saying is that all of you collectively may have created a unique new form of graphic, artistic expression, never before seen. And, I think, BLADE RUNNER is going to revolutionize our conceptions of what science fiction is and, more, can be.
Let me sum it up this way. Science fiction has slowly and ineluctably settled into a monotonous death: it has become inbred, derivative, stale. Suddenly you people have come in, some of the greatest talents currently in existence, and now we have a new life, a new start. As for my own role in the BLADE RUNNER project, I can only say that I did not know that a work of mine or a set of ideas of mine could be escalated into such stunning dimensions. My life and creative work are justified and completed by BLADE RUNNER. Thank you..and it is going to be one hell of a commercial success. It will prove invincible. (sursa)
"Comisia Europeana a aprobat in temeiul normelor UE in materie de ajutoare de stat o schema de sprijinire a productiei cinematografice din Romania, in valoare de 80,68 milioane euro (347 milioane lei) pentru a sprijini dezvoltarea industriei cinematografice, a culturii si a educatiei cinematografice.
Comisia a aprobat o schema a autoritatilor romane de acordare a unor imprumuturi fara dobanda sau a unor granturi nerambursabile pentru productia de filme romanesti sau de filme realizate cu participare romaneasca.
In special, Comisia a constatat ca, in baza criteriilor culturale definite de catre autoritatile romane, ajutoarele vor fi directionate spre productii culturale. Mai mult, masura permite producatorilor sa cheltuiasca pana la 20% din bugetul filmului in cadrul Spatiului Economic European, nu numai in Romania. Autoritatile romane intentioneaza sa mentina schema pana la data de 31 decembrie 2014. "
