I ahu mai hoki ia i te whenua o "Hong Kong i te ra tino kino" me te whenua ahumahi o tona kaainga o mua i te raki o Ingarangi. Ko te ahua o te kiriata e whakaaweawe ana i nga mahi a te kaihoahoa Itari o mua, a Antonio Sant'Elia. I utua e Scott a Syd Mead hei kaitoi kaupapa; penei i a Scott, i whakaaweawe ia e Métal Hurlant. I whakawhiwhia a Moebius ki te awhina i te tukunga o mua o Blade Runner, engari i paopao ia kia mahi ai ia i te kiriata pakiwaituhi a René Laloux Les Maîtres du temps - he whakatau i pouri ia i muri mai. Ko te kaihoahoa whakaputa a Lawrence G. Paull me te kaiwhakahaere toi a David Snyder i mohio ki nga whakaahua a Scott me Mead. Douglas Trumbull me Richard Yuricich i tirotiro i nga paanga motuhake mo te kiriata, a ko Mark Stetson te kaihanga tauira matua. He maha nga ahuatanga o te Blade Runner ki te Metropolis a Fritz Lang, tae atu ki te taiao taone nui, kei reira te hunga whai rawa e noho ana i runga ake i nga kaimahi, e whakahaeretia ana e te whare nui <unk> te Stadtkrone Tower i Metropolis me te Whare Tyrell i Blade Runner. I whakamahia e te kaitirotiro paanga motuhake a David Dryer nga whakaahua mai i Metropolis i a ia e whakariterite ana i nga pupuhi whare iti o Blade Runner.Ko te whakaaturanga mutunga roa i te putanga tuatahi o te whare tapere e whakaatu ana i a Rachael me Deckard e haere ana ki te marama o te ra me nga pupuhi rererangi a te kaitiaki i whakaatahia e te kaiwhakahaere Stanley Kubrick. I whakapā atu a Ridley Scott ki a Kubrick mo te whakamahi i etahi o ana whakaahua rererangi rererangi mai i The Shining.  Pātai: Ko wai te kaitoi kaupapa a Scotts?
Ko Syd Mead
