All Those Moments - by Rutger Hauer & Patrick Quinlan (Paperback)

About the Book

The legendary actor and star of the classic "Blade Runner" speaks his mind about acting, movies, Hollywood, and life on the edge. Published to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the release of "Blade Runner."

From the Back Cover

He came to mainstream prominence as a machine more human than his creators in Blade Runner, terrified us as a hitchhiker bent on his own death and the death of anyone who got in his way in The Hitcher, and unforgettably portrayed a lonely king roaming the night as a wolf and pining for the love of a hawk during the day in Ladyhawke.

Rutger Hauer has dazzled audiences for years with his creepy, inspiring, and villainous portrayals of everyone from a cold-blooded terrorist in Nighthawks to a blind martial arts master in Blind Fury, but his movie career was nothing compared to his real-life adventures of riding horses, sword fighting, and leaving home at fifteen to scrub decks on a freighter and explore the world.

From poverty to working with a traveling theater troupe to his breakout European performance in Turkish Delight and working with legendary directors such as Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop and Basic Instinct) and Ridley Scott (Alien and Gladiator), Hauer has collected All Those Moments here.

Review Quotes

"With his matter-of-fact, concise writing style, Hauer offers up adventures that are as entertaining as his films. This sensitive work shows another side of the dedicated, passionate actor." - Library Journal
"Cinemaphiles will adore Hauer's autobiography....Anyone fascinated with the cinema should indeed seek the book out --it's fun, slightly odd, and a relentlessly likable window into the cranium of a true character actor....Hauer is his own man, and All Those Moments lets that man take a bow." - Buffalo News
"Pick of the Week....[A] fascinating book." - Rocky Mountain News
