Joanna Cassidy Blade Runner
Joanna donned Zhora’s costume once more in the spring of 2007 . This is 25 years after the release of Blade Runner. It was in order to recreate a climactic scene from the film for the fall 2007 Final Cut release of the film. During the release of the original 1982, a stunt performer played out Zhora’s death scene, with the physical differences between the performer and Joanna very evident (including the stuntwoman wearing a different wig).
For the Final Cut, Joanna’s head was digitally transposed onto footage of the stunt performer, making the death scene fit continuity. According to the DVD featurette, All Our Variant Futures, it was Joanna herself who suggested this be done; she is captured on video making the suggestion during filming of a retrospective interview related to Blade Runner.
