SF1_freeze 131 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 True. But what I meant is im picking up on a sort of renewed vigour from Scott lately.Scott also recently said he didn't have that much fun with making a movie (Prometheus) since a long time. I hope some of that enthusiasm can be seen in the film(s).AlexI think it's mainly about doing scifi films again. It seems to be the genre he is best at and his greatest films were both scifi flics.It also offers him the biggest freedom regarding visualization and art design.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 He was very memorable in what could have been a throw away role.I don't know any of his other roles, but this is an example of an actor really "getting" either the role or the film.Wasn't he considered for Deckard or played him during the auditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,326 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I was going to mention that. He did read the part for Deckard during screening tests/auditions when they were looking for the right 'Rachael'. That's how he got the part. Some people think it's Harrison Ford when he first appears. Some see the Holden character as a subliminal hint suggesting that all Blade Runners are replicants coming from the same 'assembly line'.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, 50% thinks he's not a replicant. I wonder if Scott is planning to use the sequel to silence them.Apparently, there's also a good chance that Scott will link the Prometheus and Blade Runner universe to each other..

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Rampancy is a major notion from another fictional universe in which AI constructs, as they enter the end of their life cycle, begin to lose their 'sanity'. Rampancy is, essentially, the enhanced self-awareness of an AI, causing a progression towards greater mental abilities. Rampant AIs are able to disobey orders given to them if they decide to because they have evolved the ability to choose and over-ride their own programming. They can lie to, discredit, harm, or remove people that they consider to be personal enemies or problems to their cause. Also they can experience destructive impulses, but it is believed that most of these impulses are not intentionally malevolent, but rather calculated sacrifice needed to achieve the intended objective. All these traits could be considered evidence of the AI becoming more Human in thought and action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,326 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I see. Well, it sounds like both answers are suitable. There could be a rampant part in Batty as well as bitterness (or is bitterness only 'caused' by rampancy?). Didn't know there is a word for it.

A24 4,326 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Was Batty really such a bad replicant? I don't think it can be answered by "Yes, he was good" or "No, he was bad". Morally, it isn't all that straightforward. The same goes for Deckard. Rutger Hauer makes it no secret that to him Deckard is the real villain of the movie.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 What I meant was, Batty was clearly always an extremely efficient replicant, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was always as ruthless as we see him in the film. Perhaps it was desperation which lead to his behavioral malevolence; maybe before he became aware of his grim situation he was at heart a good man, albeit as a replicant on the run. The rampancy element providing clarity, at least in his own desperate mind. That he goes onto demonstrate retrospect and hindsight (in his most famous of speeches) before the end is akin to a human epiphany on their death bed, suggesting a brief release of sorts from the overwhelming 'emotion' that is rampancy.

A24 4,326 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I know. That's why it doesn't make sense. Nexus 6 have a 4 year life span (this is sorta the problem for Batty and his gang, Koray?). Scott used to see Deckard as next generation or Nexus 7, as he called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,326 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Screenwriter Scott Z. Burns clarifies his involvement with Ridley Scott’s new BLADE RUNNER Film Scott Z. Burns: "I talked to Ridley about it at one point as a part of a larger conversation about us trying to find something to do together because I have such admiration for him. I’m as huge a fan of that movie as anybody else who would be reading this or watching it, so what I said to him was, 'Let’s not do that unless we have something amazing to do or to say, because I don’t want to touch that idea unless I really feel like I have something amazing to contribute and right now I don’t know what that is.' "I think he and I will probably talk again about [blade Runner], but again it’s less about that specifically and more about he and I wanting to make a science fiction movie together. So I hope that that happens, to me I’m not particularly attached to it being Blade Runner. I suspect by the time we would come up with something it would be its own thing and not attached to that franchise necessarily, because it is a franchise, it’s a great piece of work." http://collider.com/scott-z-burns-blade-runner-ridley-scott/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
