  (Bladerunner by Alan E. Nourse and Blade Runner: A Movie by William S. Burroughs)

  (Only non-WP-derived divergent account of Burroughs's title i've noticed.)

• Book Information: Bladerunner, A Movie Ref among those i've found that most strongly if implicitly purports to have access to the Burroughs work itself.

[edit] More information needed

This article is almost completely about the naming of the 1982 film. Where is the plot of the original novel? Please add this. In the meantime, I am in the process of writing the article Blade Runner, a movie after Burroughs novella (it isn't a screenplay). 23skidoo 00:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
