A24 4,333 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Well, Nolan would probably succeed in making a Blade Runner for the Blade Runner hater. Sorta like those people who prefer 2010 to 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Ridley Scott 30 years ago or Stanley Kubrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 It reminds me of the situation when Terry Gilliam asked Alan Moore: "How would you do a Watchmen movie?" and Moore said: "I wouldn't". Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Realistically, I mean. Given the remake/sequel climate as it is, I can't see this not happening. Is there really someone that could ease any pain or are they just better off giving it to someone terrible so we don't have to worry about whether it'll be good or not (ala Terminator 3/4/5)?

A24 4,333 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 So who would be a suitable director?Snyder. A 30 years younger Ridley Scott, like Steef has suggested, will also do.It reminds me of the situation when Terry Gilliam asked Alan Moore: "How would you do a Watchmen movie?" and Moore said: "I wouldn't". KarolNah, that's a typical attitude of the rebellious book author against film adaptations. Philip K. Dick also had problems with Hollywood making a film about DADOES.

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Danny Boyle might be capable. But anyway, it should be left alone.Or if they absolutely must make it because they simply can't help themselves, then I want a Verhoeven/Arnie reunion.Blade Runner 2: Replicant Recall.

A24 4,333 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I agree, it is scary. In fact, if I was Lucas or someone who plans a Blade Runner prequel, or Witness: The Barn Is Still Standing, I would take notice of this guy. OTOH, the audience might freak out, saying the resemblance is too close. The idea that nobody can replace Harrison Ford must remain intact! Clones are scary!

A24 4,333 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Strange, because it wasn't a rumor at all. It was already set in stone. OTOH, signing to direct doesn't mean the movie will ever see the light of day (meaning that it's still not a guarantee it will made)AlexAs long as it's like a completely different story set in the same universe it's fine. It wouldn't even be a sequel as I see it.But how this film could be, I don't know...It would be weird for me to see a Blade Runner 2 without a Deckard or a Roy Batty. It will be difficult for me to accept a Matt Damon or a Leo DiCaprio walking around in the same future. I think it's best to re-design the whole damn thing and place it 50 years in the future.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I say if it's a new story re-design the world and place it in a different world.It could be a Minority Report/A.I. kind of world, with nanomolecular tchnology and organ printing and advanced robotics and longevity augmentation and aneutronic fusion and shit like that. The same way the future of Blade Runner feels like an actual possibility while you're watching it, flying police cars aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,333 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Or Ridley has to come up with at least some very concrete ideas. Anyway, I no longer see Ridley working with these type of special artists. Did he ask Giger for Prometheus? No, he just continues working with the same crew from the previous film or so. Ridley is a factory. To him Blade Runner 2 is just one of the many, many projects he will do in the next few years.Still, the few photos on board of the Prometheus looked promising. It's like he can perfectly duplicate the atmophere of a 30 year old movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 "Ridley Scott updated the status of the second movie, saying it's, "Liable to be a sequel...I think I'm close to finding a writer that might be able to help me deliver. We're quite a long way in, actually." He said an entirely new cast will be involved. Asked if Harrison Ford will be returning, Scott replied, "No, not really." Scott also commented on PROMETHEUS, his quasi prequel to ALIEN, "the central metaphor of the film is about a "higher being" who challenges the gods, and the gods don't want to give him fire. "Fire is our first form of technology," Scott says, and so by taking fire, the higher being is punished "in perpetuity in a horrible fashion.". Much like the story of the mythological god, Prometheus, who stole fire from Zeus and for his actions was bound to a rock with an eagle eternally devouring his liver." Scott said the last eight minutes of PROMETHEUS is "a pretty good DNA of the ALIEN one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
