Yesterday a press release by Warner Bros.<\/strong> confirmed what has long been speculated, the new Blade Runner<\/em><\/strong> is officially a sequel.<\/p>\n

But now with the press release its been confirmed to be a sequel to the original Blade Runner <\/em><\/strong>and that screenwriter Hampton Fancher<\/strong> is confirmed his involvement.

LOS ANGELES, CA, MAY 17, 2012\u2014Hampton Fancher is in talks to reunite with his \u201cBlade Runner\u201d director Ridley Scott to develop the idea for the original screenplay for the Alcon Entertainment, Scott Free, and Bud Yorkin produced follow up to the ground-breaking 1982 science fiction classic, it was announced by Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The filmmakers are also revealing for the first time that the much-anticipated project is intended to be a sequel to the renowned original. The filmmakers would reveal only that the new story will take place some years after the first film concluded.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The three-time Oscar-nominated Scott and his \u201cBlade Runner\u201d collaborator Fancher originally conceived of their 1982 classic as the first in a series of films incorporating the themes and characters featured in Philip K. Dick\u2019s groundbreaking novel \u201cDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?\u201d, from which \u201cBlade Runner\u201d was adapted. Circumstances, however, took Scott into other directions and the project never advanced.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fancher, although a writer of fiction, was known primarily as an actor at the time Scott enlisted him to adapt the Dick novel for the screen. Fancher followed his \u201cBlade Runner\u201d success with the screenplays, \u201cThe Mighty Quinn\u201d (1989) and \u201cThe Minus Man\u201d (1999). He has continued to write fiction throughout his career.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott also will produce with Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove as well as Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO\u2019s of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The original film, which has been singled out as the greatest science-fiction film of all time by a majority of genre publications, was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being \u201cculturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.\u201d The film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 1993 and is frequently taught in university courses. In 2007, it was named the 2nd most visually influential film of all time by the Visual Effects Society.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

State Kosove and Johnson: \u201cIt is a perfect opportunity to reunite Ridley with Hampton on this new project, one in fact inspired by their own personal collaboration, a classic of cinema if there ever was one.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Released by Warner Bros. almost 30 years ago, \u201cBlade Runner\u201d was adapted by Fancher and David Peoples from Philip K. Dick\u2019s groundbreaking novel \u201cDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?\u201d and directed by Scott following his landmark \u201cAlien.\u201d The film was nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction). Following the filming of \u201cBlade Runner,\u201d the first of Philip K. Dick\u2019s works to be adapted into a film, many other of Dick\u2019s works were likewise adapted, including \u201cTotal Recall,\u201d \u201cA Scanner Darkly,\u201d \u201cMinority Report,\u201d \u201cPaycheck,\u201d and the recent \u201cThe Adjustment Bureau,\u201d among others.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
