Koete Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 EXCLUSIVE: After revisiting his classic Alien with the upcoming 3D Fox film Prometheus, Ridley Scott is committing to direct and produce a film that advances his other seminal and groundbreaking science fiction film. Scott has signed on to direct and produce a new installment of Blade Runner. He’ll make the film with Alcon Entertainment, producing with Alcon partners Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. This would be the most high profile project for Alcon since The Blind Side. They got control of the franchise earlier this year, but it's a whole different ballgame with Scott at the helm.

Koete Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It's going to be a sequel, with the original screenwriter involved and a female protagonist. Since it isn't a remake or a sequel with Deckard, I'm more open minded than when this first broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'd still be against this if Prometheus didn't look so fucking great. As it is just the trailers for that have restored my faith in Scott and his newfound commitment to sci-fi. Scott's a sporatically inspirational film maker, he has great highlights but sometimes it feels like he's directing films just to fill time. And that's not that Body of Lies or Matchstick men are bad, (MSM is awesome for me) but Scott shines on films where the world is built from the ground up.

D-Man Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 This BLADERUNNER sequel news disturbs me because I think it's a marketing ploy. They think that by promising a BR sequel they are exhibiting supreme confidence in the success of PROMETHEUS. "We're so sure your going to love Prometheus that we've gone ahead and started developing a Bladerunner sequel. How about that?" It's like when they announce with great fanfare that they are already planning the sequel to a film that hasn't been released yet. We're supposed to say, "Wow. They're already doing a sequel and No one's seen the first one. It must be awesome!" It's all marketing bullshit designed to generate positive word of mouth without actually committing to anything.

D-Man Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 And let me tell you something else. PROMETHEUS does not make me look forward to a BLADERUNNER sequel. Not by a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 If you asked me after the midnight screening, I would have been confident that a BLADE RUNNER sequel could be pulled off. Now that I've had a few days to think about PROMETHEUS, I'm pretty much in your camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I hope it's for an opening voice over so the dumb audience knows what the dumb movie is about cause they're dumb and they need to be told. Dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Well, Harrison Ford filmed his role at gunpoint for this year, so he's gonna need one for 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Now Scott is saying he might direct it. You're tearing me apart, Ridley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
