DADoES vs. Blade Runner
Both DADoES and Blade Runner, I find, compliment each other... along with the different script/screenplay versions. It really opens up ones perspectives of the other. One not "better" than the other, but "part" of the another. As far as the Deckard charater in both mediums, they do have a different mentality and nature. In my minds eye I see the actor, Matthew Broderick, playing the role of DADoES' Rick Deckard. A far cry from Harrison Ford! Also...the role of Phil Resch (A small part in the book) I see Jeff Goldblum. Rutger Hauer's role of Roy Batty differs from the books' "Baty" too. Besides not having as prominent a role in DADoES, Baty is not chasing down anyone...no "hunting" down Deckard. He is the hunted.

The Superhero Hype! Boards
In another forum, The Superhero Hype! Boards, posted 12-27-2003, someone wrote their ideal cast members for a DADoES movie. "I'd still like to see an accurate version of DADOES. IMO both cuts of Runner only make sense if you've read the book. I hope with THIS cast... Rick Deckard: Lawrence Bayne Iran Deckard: Isabella Hoffman Dave Holden: Carl Lumbly Harry Bryant: James Caan Phil Resch: Tim Guinee Officer Crams: David Graf Garland: Stephen McHattie J.R.Isadore: Sean Whalen Hannibal Sloat: John Prosky Milt Borogrove: Jeff Kober Eldon Rosen: David Ogden Stiers Rachel Rosen/Pris Stratton: Natalie Radford Luba Luft: Xenia Seeberg Sandor Kadalyi/Polokov: Elya Baskin Roy Baty: Victor Garber Irmgard Baty: Alberta Watson Buster Friendly (Voice): Frank Welker Amanda Werner (Voice): Tress McNeill"

Rick Deckard : Matthew Broderick Iran Deckard : Constance Bennett Phil Resch : Jeff Goldlum Eldon Rosen : John Malkovich John Isidore : William Sanderson Wilbur Mercer : Jonathan Pryce Hannibal Sloat : William Hickey Rachael Rosen : Sean Young Luba Luft: Eva Marie Saint Note: Some of the actors listed above are of a different time / era. It is their "character" I use in my mind's theatre that I feel is best suited for the parts...in "my" world. :)

Coincidence?
Coincidence? SEAN YOUNG CALLS ON CLOONEY TO REMAKE TOPPER WITH HER BLADE RUNNER star SEAN YOUNG is urging GEORGE CLOONEY to help revive her stalled career - by remaking classic film TOPPER with her. The actress admits she has been attempting to get in touch with the movie hunk because she thinks he's the perfect choice to revive Cary Grant's role in a reworking of the cult 1937 comedy. Young is keen to remake the film, one of her favourites, with her in the role Constance Bennett played. She says, "I think our chemistry would match very well and I'd give him a run for his money... If he would just return my call and give me a shot, that could be really great." ********************************************************* I have the video...it was one of the first b/w movies "colourized". It's a hoot! ********************************************************* Constance Bennett is my "fantasy" choice to play Deckard's wife, Iran.
