Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel
bowman9991 submitted a story that ought to make even the most stone-hearted amongst you cry. He says "Travis Wright, one of the writers behind Eagle Eye, has been working on a sequel to Ridley Scott's Sci-Fi classic Blade Runner. Script proposals have explored the nature of the off-world colonies, what happens to the Tyrell Corporation in the wake of its founder's death, and what would become of Rachel. Travis said he intends to write a script 'with or without anyone's blessings.' Director Ridley Scott appears interested in a sequel too. At Comic-Con in 2007 Ridley said, 'If you have any scripts, you know where to send them.' It's doubtful he'll have time anytime soon though. He's already stated his next two science fiction films will be an adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New Word with Leonardo DiCaprio and an adaptation of Joe Haldeman's The Forever War."
Go ahead. I write fanfics, too.

I don't understand...are they fighting in an arena? Are they fishing for sequels? I'm confused. Unless Taco didn't have the 20 seconds to double check the headline for a typo.

Do you really want to die being best known as the "asshole who wrote that god-awful sequel to Blade Runner"?
Depends on how many million I made off that movie.
Myself, I'll wait for the Final Ultimate Director's Cut Armageddon Release of this one.
Let me tell you about my mother.

SPOILER ALERT: Leonardo diCaprio (sp?) IS Soma.

Bah, don't worry. I'm sure Keanu will do a fine job as Decker.

We've already tried it - ethyl, methane, sulfinate as an alkalating agent and potent script treatment; it created a plothole so lethal the script was dead before it even left the table.
Calm down, everybody. There's no evidence that George Lucas will be involved.

You see, grasshopper, story is like tea leaves. When you have good tea leaves, you will have good tea. You take tea leaves, you take hot water, and you have good tea. You have wonderful tea. You savour tea, and you like tea so much that you think, you want more tea. So you take the leaves out of the water and save them, then you bring hot water again and you pour it over the tea leaves. But alas, no good tea. It tastes stale and bland. The flavor all gone.
If you want another cup of tea, you have to find new tea leaves. Using the old one will only give you bland, tasteless and generally worthless tea.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I think it's more about soiling the memory of something good.
It's kinda like when you meet a hot girl, you hit it off, then your friend tells you she has a penis.
MABASPLOOM!
dude... did you even watch Doom, how about Judge Dredd?
People committed suicide in the theaters over how bad those movies were.
Riots in the streets for 12 days, total dead was 15,000 opening weekend alone.
Do you really want that shitty of a movie to happen again?
DO YOU?!!?!?!
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
I JUST got that message from Amazon today:
God: When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
Shia LaBeouf as Rick Deckard
Mylie Cyrus as Rachael
Steve Carrell as Roy Batty
Michael Myers as Bryant
Shot by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. Soundtrack by The Jonas Brothers.
On one hand, they could be ridiculously amazing CGI
On the other hand, they could be crappy costumes...
On the gripping hand, they could be leftover muppets
My UID is prime... is yours?
Well, to truly appreciate Shakespeare, you really need to hear it in the original Klingon.
It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.
Wow, I disliked that book. Maybe some modern treatment in a film will improve the story. The interminable gay sex ought to be interesting, at least.
Who knows, you may actually produce the next Memento, Reservoir Dogs, or Slumdog Millionaire.
Thanks man! You've just given me ideas for my next three movies, Memento 2, Reservoir Dogs 2, and Slumdog Millionaire 2!
But the Enterprise doesn't have cannon. Maybe they'll alter the photon torpedoes instead.
There are only two Indiana Jones movies. What is this "Temple" people keep mentioning?
It's rare that you're presented with a knob whose only two positions are Make History and Flee Your Glorious Destiny.
And that's why business sucks. Everything: including science, law, medicine, art, politics, education, takes a back seat to money-making.
Except, of course, for super disco breakin'.
Bow-ties are cool.
To beam or not to beam; that is the question:
Whether 'tis Dagger of the Mind to suffer
The photon torpedoes of Outrageous Okona,
Or to take arms against a sea of Tribbles,
And by transporting, send them?

This isn't art, this is business.
Excellent point. If you want something artistic and original, go see an indie film. If you want something high budget, with mainstream appeal, go see "Blade Runner 2: Wrath of the Electric Sheep".
Yep, a Heinlein movie would be great! They should make Stranger in a Strange Land. The orgies would be epic!
In a world alien to man...
"We've lost contact with the Envoy!"
The child of human explorers...
(voice distorted by radio)"Repeat, we have found a survivor!"
Is an alien.
"Damnit, man, you don't understand! He - is - a - Martian!"
(cue wild drum beat, footage of Mike jumping around on Martian rocks like an ape through the trees - hovercars diving through clouds - Jill punching out a guard in Bethesda)
Douglas: That young man's claim to Mars will be MINE!
Jubal: THAT YOUNG MAN IS UNDER MY PROTECTION!
(beat... black screen, fade in)
Berquist: You're coming with me...
(beat... black screen, fade in)
Mike (snarling): I... GROK... WRONGNESS!
Stranger In A Strange Land... Rated R.
Bow-ties are cool.
Get off my thread.
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
Hmm...well, from the previews, and what little bit I've heard about the movie...doesn't sound very interesting.
No explosions at all that I could see....
But seriously...it doesn't look that interesting. I read a bit about the movie in wikipedia, it appears to happen in Mumbai (somewhere in India I guess)...and it says that about 1/3 of the dialong is in Hindi...I guess that mean subtitles. ick.
I dunno...just doesn't seem like anything I can relate to. I don't know or care what Bollywood is, I'm not interested in a movie where 1/3 of the dialog is in a language I don't know, and I don't relate much to Hindu-muslim stuff, all of which seem to have importance in this movie.
Even if this thing wins Oscars...I don't imagine that many people in the US will go out of their way to see it. I guess it will be out on DVD soon.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
Depends on how many million I made off that movie.
Uwe? is that you?
Can we get a "-1 Wrong" moderation option?
It was a Rocky Horror Picture Show party. I was appropriately dressed and you were seriously drunk.
