    Ridley Scott is set to produce and direct a new BLADE RUNNER film, Deadline reports.

    It is unclear whether this movie will be a prequel or sequel to Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic, or even if Harrison Ford will be involved. What we do know comes from an official press release sent out today:

    Three-time Oscar-nominated director Ridley Scott is set to helm a follow up to his own ground-breaking 1982 science fiction classic “Blade Runner” for Warner Bros-based financing and production company Alcon Entertainment (“The Blind Side,” “The Book of Eli”). ...

    More "why bother coming up with new stuff when we can rip off old stuff" from those geniuses in Hollywood.

    Amen to fettpett and enslaved1. Hollywood is bankrupt in the imagination department.
    When the delegates emerged from the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got?” Franklin replied, “A republic, madam, if you can keep it.”

    Well, Ridley Scott is involved, and word seems to be this will be a pre/sequel.

    So I'm not gonna jump on the "no imagination" bandwagon on this one just yet.

    My question is, will Ford play a significant role, or just do a cameo?
    In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.

    In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

    I never saw the original Blade Runner. It was a little before my time. I'll have to check it out. Hello NetFlix!
    "In England a king hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which in plain terms, is to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived."

    It's a good movie. I think maybe a little overblown, but a good movie.

    it's alright, fairly slow, not unlike the book, but I guess a lot of Philip K Dick's books are like that

    I saw Bladerunner at the Castro Theater in a double feature with Liquid Sky. Liquid Sky was the better movie, but I still listen to some of the music from Bladerunner.
