Ridley Scott - Bladerunner Storyboard
A section of Ridley Scott’s storyboard sketches for Bladerunner, demonstrating once again his flair for drawing and his passion for details. These dystopian scenes in particular - Deckards visit to the Tyrell Corp HQ - were inspired by Ridley’s youth and memories of the night-time vista of oil refineries and steel mills, the fabric of 60’s industrial Teeside (North East England).
You should do a post about the Moebius, Long Tomorrow story that Scott ‘was inspired by’ when he made Blade Runner. I have high-res scans of it if you are interested.

North EAST England actually - sorry to be a pedant, but I used to work there.
