Blade Runner (1982), poster, US John Alvin (1948-2008) Unframed: 60 x 40 in. (152.5 x 101.5 cm) John Alvin's artwork for Blade Runner is one of the most memorable posters of the era. He cleverly hid his signature vertically in one of the buildings. This size poster was produced for drive-in cinemas and special displays. Alvin's artwork was also used on the small main US poster.
