Blade Runner Sequel?

[Chris]

A sequel to Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner†is gaining momentum, with Michael Green in talks to rewrite the script from Hampton Fancher, who wrote the screenplay for the 1982 original.

Alcon Entertainment has been working on the project for over two years, since announcing in early 2011 that it had secured film, TV and ancillary franchise rights to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic thriller. In August 2011, Scott committed to direct.

Alcon has noted that Scott and his “Blade Runner†collaborator Fancher originally conceived of “Blade Runner†as the first in a series of films incorporating the themes and characters featured in Philip K. Dick’s novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?,†from which “Blade Runner†was adapted.

Fancher’s original story/screenplay is set several years after the first film concluded in a dystopian version of Los Angeles.

I'll probably watch, but I think it's way too late for me to really care about a sequel. I love the first movie though, would be interested to see how they went about the sequel, and with the right cast, mainly a good lead actor, it could be good.

Not buying it this has been a on and off project for a few years now.

Too long of a break inbetween the two movies. We don't need a sequel. Blade Runner was perfect.
