Best Answer

As former head of Twentieth Century Fox, financing George Lucas Star Wars in 1977, Alan J. Ladd has founded in 1979 the production company The Ladd Company that financed Ridley Scotts Alien in 1979. After the huge financial success of Star Wars, Hollywood turned to Science Fiction, a genre long forgotten and doomed to the B-movie category. In this sense Blade Runner can be seen as the result of Alan Ladds personal interest triggerde by the initial success of Star Wars that lead to the revival of the genre in Hollywood in general.
