Blade Runner, NEW Movie...Thoughts?

[kennermike]

See, that's where we differ. I love Blade Runner so much that I finally got around around to reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". I HATED IT! I could not believe this was the inspiration for my beloved Blade Runner. I hated it so much I left the HC book on the break room table at work.
But all of this has given me even more respect for Ridley Scott for turning such a crappy book into one of the greatest Si-Fi Movies EVER!

Im with you Bro that book sucked arse ! Ridley is Brilliant making a film of that caliber from that!

I just want an accurate adaptation of Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep - Blade runner is a very different story than the book Scott never read the original story before making the film and Dick didn't adapt it to screen,

Seriously. I wouldn't mind visiting the world of BR again. There are plenty more stories to tell in that universe. Maybe they can reboot Rutger Hauer. He hasn't made a decent movie in decades...

Blade Runner is in my Top ten list, so I'm a little apprehensive about a sequel.
How about this for a story: Deckard went back to work as a detective after Rachel shorted out in the woods. It's now his last day on the job. But now a rogue Replicant (played by Jim Carrey) is on the loose. Deckard is paired up with a loose cannon cop (a really drunk Mel Gibson), for one final mission...

On second thought, let's not go there...

C'mon brotha! I'll pour the egg nog. But be warned... It's 'special blend' to give you that extra holiday cheer!

I just want an accurate adaptation of Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep - Blade runner is a very different story than the book (Scott never read the original story before making the film and Dick didn't adapt it to screen but I love it for it's cinematics the world it created was awesome. Really only a few character names are the same but Rick in the book is a far more average guy with much more empathy to the androids than Harrison's character has (at least until the end)

Similarly we can remember it for you Wholesale is the nugget that became Total recall but are very very different
I am a huge Phillip K Dick fan but Androids (to me at least) isn't even his best story I have to reccomend the Thre Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch and The Pentultimate Truth

what's the word on it? remake? sequel? Really liked the original, especially if you look at it as a film noir cyberpunk sort of thing. I could easly see this plot redone set in the 40's with Bogart as the detective and Sterling Hayden in the villain slot.

I was never a big fan of the original ... strangely enough that makes me want to see this.

I am with you. I found myself very bored when I watched the original.

BLADE RUNNER may NOT have been a commercial hit, but between it and ALIEN, Ridley Scott sort of helped to make the science fiction genre and bit "harder" than it had been since probably 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. This is one movie that I will always adore!!!

I think Blade Runner has always been more of A cult classic than commercial hit. I think a remake at this stage is appropriate and could be quite good.

Blade Runner is one of the best sci-fi films ever...I'll definitely check a new version if it ever happens.

I wish they'd just leave Bladerunner alone. Why tinker with a classic?

I agree with that, but regardless...it's going to happen because Ridley Scott wants to do it. So if it's gonna get made, I hope they do it well. Probably should start with an entirely new character. Deckard's story is finished...let him retire in peace.
