Blade Runner Noir

(YouTube link)

This trailer is a remix of the film Blade Runner in the film noir style. But that's not exactly it -as the creator Chet Desmond and commenters point out, Blade Runner is already a film noir, just in a futuristic sci-fi setting. Desmond says,

Just wanted to clarify that this isn't meant to be a radical re-imagining of the film or a recreation of a 40's-style trailer. As many have pointed out, Blade Runner is already very "Noir." I just wanted to take those aspects of the film and accentuate them into something hopefully interesting.

As an old movie buff, I thought it was lovely. And fan films like this might interest young people, like my kids, who believe anything from the era of black and white is not worth their time. -via Geeks Are Sexy

So wrong in so many ways. Wrong in that no-one needs to do this to Blade Runner - as it's Noir enough (...It doesn't have to be monochrome to be Noir)! And wrong, because even as a faux-retro trailer it is badly done - the pace is wrong, the cutting is wrong and the voice-over is wrong. It's just wrong, it's not big and it's not clever! :)

Hrm. My previous post is flagged. Ah well. Just wanted to point out that this is a dupe. Search the site for folding chair or flexible love. Been posted twice before.

I agree, I'm pretty sure this has been posted before also. I still think someone should take this idea, make it affordable, and sell it in the US in Walmart or something and you could make big bucks though.

I've never seen this posted on the front page, but I'd also be interested in seeing people actually sitting on the seat portions. Looks like a neat party trick, though.

There is a part 1 on youtube that shows two women sitting on the chair. Seems to be fairly stable. But, then again, sitting lightly and treating it as a couch are to different things entirely.

Maybe trying this variation of the url won't get flagged this time. *sigh*
