DUTCH GAME WEEK FILM PROGRAM: BLADE RUNNER (1982)
During Dutch Game Week, Chassé Theater will screen multiple films to celebrate. One of them is Ridley Scott’s iconic Blade Runner. This screening includes a special Dutch Game Week introduction by creative director and concept artist Jort van Welbergen.
In acid rain-plagued Los Angeles, Blade Runner Rick Deckard hunts down lifelike androids that have reached the end of their service life. If these replicants live longer than Four years, they become too attached to life and become useless; after all, in the overpopulated urban jungle, humanoid robots must of the dirty work without complaint. They must not become too human, let alone develop a will of their won. Dutch actor Rutger Hauer made his breakthrough in the US in 1982 with his iconic role as a replicant.
The special acting chemistry between Harrison Ford and Luther Hauer made Blade Runner an influential production, even though the film was not well received at the time. It is now considered one of the best science fiction film ever made.
Jort is a veteran in the gaming and film industry with over ten years of experience. He has worked on blockbuster projects such as House of Dragon, Horizon Zero Dawn, Killzone, Eternals, Star Citizen and more. Over the past 5 years, he has led teams on various projects, including the film A Quiet Place and the series Star Atlas.
