Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Philip K. Dick's 1968 science fiction book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In 1975, when the rights were not available, Fancher sent Brian Kelly, a potential film director, to negotiate with Dick. Dick agreed, and Fancher was hired to write a screenplay before Kelly would later enlist the help of producer Michael Deeley. This made Fancher the executive producer, which resulted in differences with eventual director Ridley Scott, who then ordered David Peoples to continue reworking the script. Scott and Fancher had already disagreed over the movie, as Scott felt that the original script did not sufficiently explore the film's world, opting instead to concentrate on the interior drama. The rewriting process was too slow for the production crew, who nicknamed him "Happen Faster." Blade Runner (1982) was ultimately shot and released as a film.
Following Blade Runner, Fancher wrote two films. Denzel Washington and The Minus Man (1989) starred Owen Wilson in the Mighty Quinn (1989). The latter was also supervised by Fancher. He wrote the story and co-wrote with Michael Green on Blade Runner 2049 (2017), a sequel to the 1982 film.
Fancher lived outside of Los Angeles' Topanga Canyon in the early 1980s. Fancher appeared in a cameo role in the independent film Tonight at Noon (2009), directed by Michael Almereyda and starring Rutger Hauer.
Fancher's The Wall Will Tell You, a screenwriting guide, was released in 2019. The book is based on his personal experiences.
