October’s Favorite Edit of the Month ran into a runoff vote between Problem Eliminator’s Blade Runner 2049: New Vangelis Cut and TheUltimate’s The Room: Torn Apart. Both fanedits are excellent, but there can only be one winner and Problem Eliminator came out victorious.
What would a modern day Blade Runner score by Vangelis sound like? This edit rescores Blade Runner 2049 with new music from the composer’s 2016 album Rosetta and his Blade Runner tribute album from 2007. The music is supplemented by some earlier Vangelis tracks, as well as material by John Barry and others. No music from the original Blade Runner is used, except when sampled by Vangelis on the BR tribute album. In addition, the edit is approx. 15 minutes shorter, mainly from trimming Wallace’s scenes to a minimum and cutting Gaff and Rachael.
Congratulations to Problem Eliminator on winning the October 2018 FEOTM!
