Bradbury and Blade Runner

For those of you who are Ridley Scott fans, you will know that his movie Blade Runner is set in a dystopian Los Angeles of 2019...

 The Bradbury Building was one of the stars of this movie, and I saw why when I went downtown:




Looking a pretty average building from the outside, the interior is absolutely beautiful and not remotely like the dark wet interior you see in the movie. It was such a beautiful building. 
It is an office block now. Imagine telling people you work in the building where they shot Blade Runner - SO COOL!!!

They also had a Charlie Chaplin statue on loan to them...

    Nice work on getting to the Bradbury! Unbelievable transformation from dark, leaky, crumbling hole in Blade Runner to perfect luxury apartments.

    Dunno how Scott was able to envisage it like that for the film at all!
