Ridley Scott Confirms ‘Blade Runner 2′ and Talks ‘Prometheus’ Sequel

There is a rumour you’ll be making a Blade Runner sequel.
It’s not a rumour – it’s happening. With Harrison Ford? I don’t know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don’t know how long he can live [laughs]. And that’s all I’m going to say at this stage.

Fuck it, just do it Ridley. Just don't let those writers from Prometheus near this one.

Wonder if they will/can get Vangelis to do the score. He did a great job with Blade Runner.

Re: Ridley Scott Ready To Direct New Version Of 'Blade Runner'

I wonder if Guy Pearce will be involved as Peter Weyland based on the Prometheus special features that indicated that Tyrell was his mentor. My guess is the sequel will take place around the time of Weyland's TED talk and officially merge the Blade Runner and Prometheus universe.

Makes more sense now that Scott selected Pearce to play a 100+ year old in Prometheus.

Ridley Scott Offers Blade Runner Sequel Update

Source: ComingSoon.net October 12, 2012

Ridley Scott's Prometheus is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D. Among the many special features is Scott's own feature-length audio commentary wherein he provides a brief update about the status of his upcoming Blade Runner sequel.

"I'm going through Blade Runner now," Scott says, likening the process to his work on Prometheus. "You start off with a blank sheet and you start to evolve. Sometimes you walk into this wilderness of mirrors that don't make any sense at all. Then, suddenly, two and two do make four and you think, 'Oh, that's good,' and you put that up there. It's a series of paving stones."

Among the commentary's other insights is Scott's explanation for casting Guy Pearce as a 96-year old man. Because of the way cryogenic sleep is portrayed in the film, Scott imagines a world wherein crew members are provided mental exercises to keep their brains from atrophying. A scene was planned and never shot that would have seen a younger Peter Weyland.

"I had every intention of showing him as a younger man on board the super yacht in the cyber-Mediterranean with a lot of cyber-girls," Scott says. "As if he was going to say, at 96, 'If I'm going to into a cyber-sleep and I can select that sleep, I may as well be in my prime at 42 with some super-girls having a jolly good time and doing it for two and half years.'"

Alcon, Ridley Scott Announce They’ve Hired Michael Green To Script ‘Blade Runner 2′
By MIKE FLEMING JR | Friday May 31, 2013 @ 12:30pm

LOS ANGELES, CA, MAY 31, 2013, 3:30 pm, EST—Writer Michael Green is in negotiations to do a rewrite of Alcon Entertainment’s “Blade Runner” sequel penned by Hampton Fancher (“Blade Runner,” “The Minus Man,” “The Mighty Quinn”) and to be directed by Ridley Scott. Fancher’s original story/screenplay is set some years after the first film concluded.

Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce with Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin, along with Ridley Scott. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO’s of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.

Green recently completed rewrites on “Robopocalypse” and Warners Bros “Gods and Kings.”

Alcon and Yorkin previously announced that they are partnering to produce “Blade Runner” theatrical sequels and prequels, in addition to all television and interactive productions.

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 “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” 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.

Released by Warner Bros. almost 30 years ago, “Blade Runner” was adapted by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples from Philip K. Dick’s groundbreaking novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” and directed by Scott following his landmark “Alien.” The film was nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction). Following the filming of “Blade Runner,” the first of Philip K. Dick’s works to be adapted into a film, many other of Dick’s works were likewise adapted, including “Total Recall,” “A Scanner Darkly,” “Minority Report,” “Paycheck,” and the recent “The Adjustment Bureau,” among others.

This is going to be a mess. This could end up being worse than Prometheus.

After the disaster that Prometheus was I hold little hope for this.

Though I will wait to judge until I actually see something.

Re: Blade Runner Prequel and Sequel in Works.

Just watching a futuristic Los Angeles, filmed by Ridley Scott, is enough for me. Bring back the jazz/synth score. Even better. Then, if the story makes me feel something more, great.

Re: Ridley Scott Ready To Direct New Version Of 'Blade Runner'

While promoting her new film, JUG FACE, actress Sean Young was asked what involvement she has in the developing BLADE RUNNER sequel with director Ridley Scott, to which the actress gave a rather scathing response, saying that "everybody should boycott it" if she's not cast back in the role as Rachel.

"Alcon – they’re the ones that own it and apparently they have Ridley to direct it — and when I met with them they didn’t make any offer-plans to include me. And when I called Ridley Scott’s office, he doesn’t call me back. So I guess they’re going to go, like, prequel or…I don’t know what they’re going to do. But my official opinion is that, if they don’t include me in it, everybody should boycott it. Because it’s stupid not to have me in it. It’s really stupid. That’s my opinion! I mean, you try to tell people something sensible in Hollywood and sometimes they just don’t listen, you know. And they usually pay the price too, because everybody’s an expert."

Yeah, the lack of Sean Young is what's making me worried about this production.
