We don't like to pat ourselves on the back here at MTV, but when one of the the industry's most legendary filmmakers tells you that he decided to go back and re-edit his film because of you, well that's when you begin to feel a little special. That was the case with Ridley Scott, who told our MTV News crew that seeing "Blade Runner"-ish music videos on our channel caused him to move forward with his "Final Cut" DVD edition. But we'll let him tell the story. Watch below.

Well, that's my assumption at least after spending a long time chatting with the 80's icon recently. You either get the Rutger Hauer thing or you don't, so consider this post for those like-minded fools similar to me. That speech in "Blade Runner"? The one about "attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion"? Please, the man can do no wrong! And don't make any cracks about his hair in the clip below! I'm talking about you.

But back to my headline...as gregarious as Rutger is, he turned a little prickly when asked about appearing in that "Hitcher" remake earlier this year. It just wasn't his bag.

For a whole lot more of my career-spanning chat with the first vampire to go toe-to-toe with Buffy, check out my Rutger Hauer conversation here.

Actor Bill Pullman is bringing the whirlwind life of visionary science-fiction author Philip K. Dick to the big screen...sort of. The film "Your Name Here" -- previously known as "Panasonic -- will tell the story of an enigmatic writer named "William J. Frick" in the non-libel, unsanctioned biopic of the classic storyteller.

In a role that the "Independence Day" star says is one of his favorite projects, Pullman will portray a slightly modified version of the man whose vast collection of futuristic short stories have fueled such Hollywood adaptations as "Blade Runner," "Total Recall," "Minority Report" and "A Scanner Darkly" (as well as less-than-stellar efforts like "Paycheck" and "Next").

According to Pullman, the film will focus on Frick as he arrives at the end of his life. "It's about a kind of a 'Fantasia' about his last days," he revealed. "You're seeing a writer who's starting to spin a little bit out of control and wondering what's real and what isn't real. Has he really written the most brilliant book that's ever been written or hasn't he? Has someone stolen the last chapter, or is he just insane?"

"Your Name Here" is currently in post-production, with hopes of premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in mid-September.

I'm kind of obsessed with Rutger Hauer. I mean..."Ladyhawke"?!? "Blade Runner"?!? Umm...did I mention "Ladyhawke"?!?

So when the opportunity came to talk to Rutger about his new autobiography, "All Those Moments," you can bet I swung into action like Navarre saving Isabeau (did I mention I like "Ladyhawke"?).

Soon enough you'll see a bunch from our extensive chat in which we ran through much of the man's storied career. But for now, a couple choice photos from his visit will have to do. By the way, how's this for an actual quote Rutger said to me after the interview: "you really got to my heart." Yeah! Hear that, James Lipton?!?
