I have no idea how this happened, but I've never seen Blade Runner. I literally do not know how I missed it for the last 30 years or so. I suppose I'll have to rectify that huge injustice of cinema. Maybe it's on Netflix streaming... -
I like Bladerunner enough that I'll probably see it in the theater if it gets made as long as it's not a remake and doesn't have actors I don't like in it. However, I wish they'd just leave Bladerunner alone. Why tinker with a classic? It went so well for George Lucas. (I guess maybe it did considering he's probably made another billion dollars off those terrible prequels.)Leave a comment:

Blade Runner, NEW Movie...Thoughts?
I thought it might be fun to speculate about Ridley Scott's new Blade Runner Movie.
My take:I LOVE Blade Runner, it's one of my favorite films(with the narration). So naturally I was a little apprehensive about a new sequel(or prequel?). But, knowing it will be Ridley Scott made feel a little better. I don't think Rick Deckard will be back(it's probably for the best, because I don't want to see Harrison Ford re-cast).
So, I'm thinking a new character. I think there's two ways they could do this...(1.) A rookie Blade Runner who has yet to develop any sympathy about "retiring" replicants. (2.) Or, another older veteran Blade Runner who has grown weary of killing.
My choice is for the seasoned Vet. And knowing how Directors often like to work with the same actors...my choice is Russell Crowe. I think he could capture the feeling of the original, but bring something new to his character. Plus, he's played a similar part before(L.A. Confidential).
What do you guys think?
