The Last Movie-Poster Artist

Blade Runner 25th Anniversary Edition, 2007
I did the original painting for that back when Blade Runner was about to come out. There was another painting, by John Alvin, that had all the buildings and stuff. I think the studio wanted to show how much money they had spent on special effects, so they went with his. But when it came time to do the Special Edition, Ridley Scott says, "I want to finally use this art." At the time, he had just released Gladiator, and it became such a big hit, that he put the re-release off. But they finally used it after 25 years. That was a long time.
