I LOVE Blade Runner. It was a major inspiration for Thief, too!:thumb: It had a major impact on me during my impressionable youth.

Good Eye! Actually, that's exactly what I had in mind, steam punk meets cyber punk. I even used that exact image with the Geisha as a reference. I was just thinking how fun it would be to explore a huge city like that.

Mh??
Anyway, the first time I've seen this movie it was in 2003, and I was AMAZED by it! So much, that I wrote to the very beautiful Sean Young (and she even relpied me :p). But I noted that really my preferred is Prix.

In the scene where Deckard enters J.F. Sebastian's home, hunting replicants, and Pris is pretending to be a doll, the place is mostly silent except for the ambients and J.F.'s toys. In the background you can hear what sounds quite like the Viki giggles.
Daniel Thron is a fan of Blade Runner, and the influence shows in his Thief work.
From his Amazon.com profile:
Quote:
I make movies for Looking Glass Studios, a video game company (I did the cutscenes for Thief: The Dark Project, plus a number of ads).
My favorite filmakers are Wes Anderson, Tarantino, Scorsese, Kubrick, Ridley Scott (at least for Alien and BR [Blade Runner]), Cameron, Hitchcock, 70's Copolla, 70's Spielberg.
Favorite films: Jaws, The Conversation, Blade Runner and Miller's Crossing. Movies are my whole dang life :)
Thief and Blade Runner use a lot of EYE symbolism. Also, the close-up of Garrett's mechanical eye reflecting and observing the fire and spray of sparks from a welder working is somewhat related to the close-up of the eye observing the big city with industrial fire belching into the sky reflected on it.
The City, industrial, grimy, smoggy, lots of smoke-stacks. Slow spinning fans. Garrett vs. robots that seem too alive to be mere machines. The future noir detective elements, the voice-overs.
