The new ‘Blade Runner’ is Officially a sequel!
Yesterday a press release by Warner Bros. confirmed what has long been speculated, the new Blade Runner is officially a sequel.
When the new Blade Runner was first revealed to be in production, Scott wasn’t clear on if the new one would be a side story just set in the same time period/ same universe to the original Blade Runner, but he eventually did get around to mentioning that it was more likely to be a sequel.
But now with the press release its been confirmed to be a sequel to the original Blade Runner and that screenwriter Hampton Fancher is confirmed his involvement. For people who dont understand the gravity of his now confirmed involvement, he was the primary influence and was instrumental in Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep being optioned into a movie, which led to Blade Runner becoming a film in the first place. Although it isnt clear on the level of involvemtent but it is confirmed that he’s on board to “develop the idea for the original screenplay” for the new movie.
But along with all this news, Ridley Scott dropped a very interesting note while interviewing in regards to his upcoming Alien prequel Prometheus;
“Funny enough, I started my first meetings on the Blade Runner sequel last week. We have a very good take on it. And we’ll definitely be featuring a female protagonist.”
With all this news and the rumors of Harrison Ford even coming back for a cameo, I for one am beyond excited for all this news. Blade Runner is an amazing piece of cinematic art, its not for everyone simply because its message is extremely profound and its easily missed on those who cant see those kinds of things in movies. Blade Runner to me has always been a testament to what movies can be at their best, and I applaud Ridley Scott deciding to revisit one of his most epic masterpieces all this years later, I just hope that what he does with this movie is what fans are expected with Prometheus. Only time will tell, but I’m sure to be waiting on the edge of my seat until then.
