Subject: "On the Edge of Blade Runner" USA Premiere
From: Paul Sammon

Since I know the recent debut of "On the Edge Of Blade Runner" (broadcast this month on Channel 4 in the UK) has excited great attention amongst all BR fans, I wanted to let you and 2019:Off-world know that this first-ever, hour long documentary on the making of our favorite film will be having its American premiere very soon.

I will be hosting this event on July 23, 2000 at the Comic Con International, the world's largest comic book convention. A complete screening of "On the Edge" will take place on the 23rd (Sunday) between 1:00 and 2:30 pm, inside room 6CDEF, at the San Diego Convention Center. One day memberships for the Con / screening are still available; Comic Con telephone # is 619-544-0743.

The documentary features brand-new interview footage with Ridley Scott, Rutger Hauer, Darryl Hannah, Hampton Fancher and myself. "On the Edge" also marks the first appearance of part of the reconstructed, long-lost "Hospital Scene" (with dialogue), plus Ridley's thoughts on the "Deckard as Replicant" issue - as I'm sure everyone already knows. :)

I hope that you'll be able to post this information on your site, and be willing to spread the news about the premiere to other BR-lovers as well.

Looking forward to watching this thing along with the rest of you,
Paul M. Sammon
