It was Hauer’s final addition to the script – the “tears in rain” line – that really sealed the speech's status on the day of filming itself, crew members allegedly applauded and cried when the scene was completed. “He said, 'This is what I want to do – bring me anything you can come up with, and I’ll take it on if I like it.'” He’d never done a film character-driven,” Hauer explains. “ Ridley gave me all the freedom, because he wanted it to be a character-driven story.

I shave everything that I feel you don’t need.” “So, I look at the script, and I look at my part, because I don’t want to touch anybody ’s parts. “The overwritten stuff comes from the writer and all the executives, but the audience can feel it, and even the best actor cannot sell me with language that is overwritten.

“You know, I think a lot of scripts are overwritten,” he says. The lines he's referring to are the “attack ships” and “C-beams” comments in the finished speech, which were originally part of a longer draft in the script that Hauer “took a knife to” after he decided this kind of talk was too operatic for a manufactured creature like Roy. He feels it! And while his batteries are going, he comes up with the two lines.” I thought they belonged to this character, because somewhere in his digital head he has poetry, and knows what it is. “I kept two lines, because I thought they were poetic. “The irony is that all I did in Blade Runner was… and I’m not saying it’s nothing, but it’s so little,” Hauer says of the scene that more or less made his career. Time to die.ĭespite its many fine qualities, new sequel Blade Runner 2049 has nothing to touch the sheer poetry of this scene – but its release provides the perfect excuse to revisit Hauer’s near-legendary monologue, which I managed to discuss with the man himself some time ago when he was promoting other projects. All those moments will be lost in time, like… tears in rain.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I'm probably just letting my bitterness over the treatment of the theater and it's previous owner cloud my judgement, and I love BR enough that I will likely go to this showing just for another chance to see it on the big screen.Delivered in his dying moments as a stunned Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) looks on, the monologue (below) has gone down in history as one of the most moving soliloquies in cinema – all the more astonishing given that Hauer ended up writing some of it himself the night before shooting, cutting away swathes of the original script before adding the speech’s poignant final line (though not, as is often erroneously stated, improvising it on set). The auditorium has a massive 40-foot/12-meter screen and the ability to show films in 35mm AND 70mm formats, and seeing Blade Runner there was a fantastic experience. The thing I loved about the Senator was it was one of the few places you could go to get an authentic old-school cinema experience. I haven't been there since that happened because they basically destroyed what it was for no reason, as a Cinemark opened last year just a few miles from the Senator with MUCH better facilities in every respect. However, through a very shady set of circumstances, it was taken from him and sold to a rival local theater owner, shut down for a LONG time while they renovated it and turned it into a 4-screen theater.

It eventually went from being a first-run location to a multi-format theater that played more revival films than it did first-run, and the then-owner was working to make it a non-profit venue for theater and musical acts in addition to showing movies. At that time, the Senator was one of the oldest single-screen theaters still in operation.
