Oh Crap...a Blade Runner sequel in the works...

[Boba Fett]

Worst. Idea. Evar!!

Okay, forgive me if I'm missing something - but didn't Hannah and Rutger die in the first one. Why would they need to bring them back? I agree it's a dumb idea - unless MAYBE if they went with an all new cast and just had a similar story - 25 years further into the future and there are still replicants roaming the earth causing mayhem.....sounds like the movie industry is running out of fresh ideas - they could bring a new sci-fi flick to the table with a similar story (look at Battlestar Gallactica) and not have it tied in as a Blade Runner sequel. As a sequel it is doomed because so many people loved the original and that's a tall order to live up to.

Some movies shpuld remain sequel less, plain and simple....what's next Forrest Gump 2?)( I know there was a book sequel written)

Hannah and Hauer's characters were replicants, they could be replicated through some plot device contrived by Hollywood's most average script and screenwriters.

A BR sequel would be a way to capitalize on the growing success and fondness for the original, which never saw success at the box office. At least, that's what I'm thinking when I imagine a Hollywood exec meeting.

I'm waiting for Titanic 2. Or The Passion of the Christ 2. Or Indiana Jones 6.

Yeah, they could, but who wants to see Blade Runner II: The Search for Spock?

Odd childhoods....'


How about Blade Runner will be raped?

 

[Blu Falcon]

A sequel? Hell no. A remake? I'd be interested. An entirely new Blade Runner story with a new cast? I'd be very interested. But a sequel? Hell no.

Harrison Ford hasn't had a hit in a long long time.

It's ranked #3 on top grossing films of 2008...

Sounds like a hit to me!!

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Thats crazy, there no way it could match the original.

 

[superado]

Hmmm...don't know if I'd appreciate a movie in which the storylines and characters resume without addressing the visually obvious passage of time, like what was done with Terminator III. However, a book series was released in the 90's that was supposedly a hybrid between Philip K. ^^^^'s and Ridley Scott's renditions of the story, and a strange one at that. The storyline from the movie resumes after some years had passed, and there are older versions of a human Roy Batty, a salvaged Pris, and of course a Deckard who too had aged a bit. Tyrell's real niece features in the story too. Frankly, that was consumption at the level of the geek-BR-fan (such as myself), which is why I would have mixed feelings about a movie sequel; to satisfy my curiousity regarding the BR story's continuity, yet trying to reconcile this with an appreciation for tastefully made movies of iconic subjects.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

maybe if they based it off of the game that was out. have it during the same timeframe just some other replicants running amuck.

I would say a hit is a movie that made a lot of money but was also a great movie, Indiana Jones 4 was average at best compared to it's predecessors & if it was a stand alone movie without three successful prequels it would have flopped for sure. Money doesn't mean hit, it was only because of curious fans that the 4th installment made those numbers & I'm sure if they're as big a fan as me then they'd be disappointed with it to say the least, it failed big time in comparison.

Oh but in Capitalism it does!!

I understand what you're saying, but facts can't be denied...
I hate Britney Spears, but I can't deny the fact that her music was a huge hit... even if it's crap for me...

Yeah if you look at it from the point of view of the guys that don't care about the movie just how much money it makes well it is a hit to them, but as a movie from the fans point of view it ain't even near a hit.

Maybe to diehards, but to the average movie goer Crystal Skull was a hit.

Exactly, just like Transformers...

 

[Sachiel]

A hit in the nuts.

Please don't ruin this movie also with a sequel.
