If there is one actor who has seemingly done it all it would be Rutger Hauer. From roles in genre favorites like BLADE RUNNER and THE HITCHER to appearances in all sorts of cheap DTV films he has stood the test of time. Recently Hauer has popped up in mainstream hits like SIN CITY and BATMAN BEGINS. While he still has many years of acting left in him, Hauer has decided to share a little insight into his life by writing a new book titled "All Those Moments."I'm looking forward to picking this book up. Hauer has worked with a wide range of actors and directors. Everyone from Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott to Ice-T and Gary Busey. Hopefully Hauer's writing style is as colorful as many of the roles he tends to play.
It appears this book's release was timed for the 25th Anniversary of when BLADE RUNNER first arrived in theaters back in '82. Personally I'd like to think the book is being released to celebrate the 26th Anniversary of NIGHTHAWKS.

in a sort of related note, I highly recommend John Woo's "10,000 Bullets" his autobiography (although it was ghostwritten). Some great thoughts on Hong Kong filmmaking and how it compares to hollywood.
I like to see another person appreciate the genius that is Rutger Hauer. I still love his performance in the bad, but still enjoyable "Blind Fury."
Not many people can continually transition from bad to good movies like he can.
Oh, and let's not forget "The Hitcher" for Christ's sake!
I think we can't forget the genius that was/is C. Thomas Howell in "The Hitcher" though.
