British film editor Terry Rawlings, who was responsible for editing Ridley Scott’s seminal SF movies Alien and Blade Runner, has died.

A fan of the original ending of Blade Runner (“I think it’s great when the door closes,” he said in a 2012 interview. “You make up your own mind. They’re not going off holding hands in a car, which was dreadful.”), Rawlings only received a supervisory credit on the film as he wasn’t part of the American union at that point.

His other genre work included Scott’s Legend, the animated Watership Down, David Fincher’s debut Alien3, the musical of The Phantom of the Opera, as well as Pierce Brosnan’s first 007 movie, GoldenEye and the 1997 Saint movie.
