I'm Doing a Movie With Rutger Hauer!
By Ann Magnuson
There won't be much blogging this week because -- YES! I'M DOING A MOVIE WITH RUTGER HAUER! It's an indie film called Happiness Runs about a debauced commune in Vermont where the messianic, yet dissipated, guru in charge is played by the fabulous Rutger Hauer! Here he is in all his iconic glory in one of the famous final scenes from Blade Runner.
Mr. Hauer shall make an EXCELLENT guru, dissipated or otherwise! Happiness Runs mostly centers around the teenaged kids of the parents who have followed Hauer's character into mind-numbing (and sex-crazed) oblivion. I play "Chad's Mom." I'm proud to say that "Chad" is one of the most fucked up of all the kids! We begin filming today in Malibu. I'll send missives all week... direct from the craft service table! Horray for Hollywood!

AWESOMe.......congrats...I think a little bird mentioned this to me previously.I love this Bladerunner scene....I hear he adlibbed that scene....at least thats what I read in Futurenoir ...the making of bladerunner.There is going to be a new directors cut of Bladerunner coming out featuring alot of material from the much coveted workprint followed by a big boxed DVD set of all the multiple version which exist out there.Its still one if not the best sci-fi film made ...partly because of the themes which it discusses...they are so human ...is a good word I suppose.Tell Rutger he rocKs....and he is pretty good/creepy in the original The Hitcher as well.
