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."
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.
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.
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.
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?
