The beginning of The Shining, the end of Blade Runner

It seems like there is no end to the amount of information there is about Stanley Kubrick's The Shining of 1980 and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner of 1982, well here is something to add to the list...

Did you hear that? The closing sequence from the theatrical release of Blade Runner came from unused footage from the opening sequence of The Shining given Ridley Scott by Stanley Kubrick.


 Now, let's take a look at the opening of The Shining...

And now the closing of Blade Runner...

 

It is mind blowing that beautiful, but completely recognizable, footage from The Shining could be so transformed when seen in Blade Runner. The mist and fog rising become something other worldly altogether.
