Prometheus is not an Alien movie anymore. It occupies the same universe however. So it's more of a spin-off, I guess.

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate. - Christopher Nolan

A spin-off that has been confirmed to have aliens in it.
Repeat the JWFan pledge after me: 'I hereby recognise John Towner Williams' place in the world as the great composer there has ever been, and I therefore renounce the works of Rozsa, Korngold, Herrmann, Horner, Kamen, Giacchino (unless the prophecy is fulfilled and he becomes the heir to JTW) and Goldsmith, especially Goldsmith. I understand that if I ever refer to Jurassic Park as anything less than "a masterpiece sixty-five million years in the making" I will be resigned to living out my days at the Zimmershrine.'

What is the substitute project for Mute?


I listened to the interview again and he's actually writing a new sci-fi story of which he's quite sure of that he will find the money to turn it into movie.


Great! It's good to have filmmakers with a love for sci-fi trying to put out stuff :)

Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Hobo With A Shotgun): "If Christopher Nolan would be on it I’d say, ‘All right, go for it'! But otherwise you can’t do it. ‘Blade Runner’ is such a unique film. How do you describe a diamond? I don’t think you should ever touch it again."


Nolan?! Et tu, Hauer?!

Nolan would be a good choice, but I'd rather they leave it for Ridley after he's finished Alien 5.

The moment Leonardo DiCaprio appears on the Blade Runner 2 set with his intense Blood Diamond/Shutter Island/Inception look in his eyes is the moment I know that he's a replicant.


No really, Nolan and Blade Runner? I don't see the connection.

Perhaps because of that he could make something that wouldn't just be a Singeresque slavish retread.

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)?

Snyder.

A 30 years younger Ridley Scott, like Steef has suggested, will also do.

Nah, 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.

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.

The polaroid of Hauer and Young together ... they look so young! And there's something really sexy about the photo of Young (in white top) and Ford (with goofy "What are you doing?" face and who is probably taking the picture). Rare stuff!

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!

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)

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.

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.

It should be a prequel. We see the creation of the Replicant project. The film can end with the birth of Deckard as a Replicant.
