Blade Runner: Based on Philip K. Dicks classic novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, Ridley Scotts Blade Runner featured a number of significant changes to the source material. Changes that could be attributed to the fact that Scott never actually finished reading it. The setting and year moved from San Francisco 1992 to Los Angeles in 2019, with the character J.F Sebastian (William Sanderson) not appearing in the novel at all. Contrary to the book, Ridleys version of Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is unmarried and electric sheep-less. Finally, the term Blade Runner is never actually used by Philip K. Dick, but was coined exclusively for the film. Rolls off the tongue easier than Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep though.
