Ridley Scott To Direct New Blade Runner Movie

Posted by Unknown on from the deckard-shot-first dept.

In his first accepted submission, fwarren writes "Alcon Entertainment, best known for the movie The Blind Side, purchased the rights to Blade Runner earlier this year. The next order of business? Hire Ridley Scott. Scott has signed on to make a new Blade Runner movie. At this point it is not known whether it will be a sequel or a prequel. With no script or writer at this point, I think it is safe to say it will be a roller coaster ride for the next few years."

    I would advocate pummeling the director to within an inch of their life. For Ridley Scott I would ask politely to reconsider before pummeling.

      It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for being subtle.

    man that was a good movie. with the little guy talking about 'meesa no jibber jabber', so great - a classic film. but think about how much they could improve it with modern special effects like computer graphics and realistic animation.

    nearly sent me into screaming fits. You know, with Shea and Will Smith and other luminaries in staring roles.

    Deckard shoots first in this one.

    Kind of ironic that they crack down on illegal copies then continue to copy themselves.
