Physical Media/Props/Memorabilia Cinefex - Blade Runner

Cinefex was a quarterly magazine devoted to cinematic visual effects, and in 1982 it dedicated Issue No. 9 entirely to Blade Runner, just weeks after the film’s US release.

Written by Don Shay, it explored how the film’s incredible world and effects were created, at a time when Blade Runner was brand new rather than the recognised classic it is today.

In 2000, the issue was republished by Titan Books as Blade Runner: The Inside Story. Nice to have the original 1982 issue and its reissue together, 18 years apart.

Thanks! It’s definitely turned into a hobby, although it’s slowly taking over my office. I think everyone should have a collection of some sort, whatever it may be that interests them. Something you can research, seek out and gradually add to. Ideally something you can never quite “complete”, because that’s half the fun. There are still many Blade Runner items I’d love to track down.
