Ridley Scott to Return to 'Blade Runner'
Source: Deadline
Riding off the anticipation and excitement for his 'Alien' franchise revival 'Prometheus', director Ridley Scott has just inked a deal with Alcon Entertainment to direct and produce a brand new project based in the groundbreaking sci-fi world of 'Blade Runner'. Alcon previously gathered the rights earlier this year, but with Scott in the driver's seat, this may be the biggest news you'll hear all month.
The announcement shook Hollywood only hours ago, and it's still unclear exactly what the new project will be - a rebooted franchise? A new film? A sequel? A prequel? Based on the Philip K. Dick book 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?', the original film told the story of Richard Dekkard, a "blade runner" in charge of tracking down and eliminating advanced humanoid robots called Replicants who have hidden themselves amongst regular society. Outlawed after a bloody mutiny on an off-world colony, these super-intelligent, super-strong "skin jobs" don't want to be found and will do almost anything to protect themselves if discovered.
Alcon has already signed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Pictures (who made the original film), which means that this project immediately tops the list of hot film properties in the works. Scott is still hard at work putting the final touches on 'Prometheus' (which will be released in theaters in June of 2012), but is expected to begin looking for writers immediately to hammer out details of the film.

the remake/reboot/sequel will be a flop like the first one. while it had a great influence on the state of our sci fi films its still a boring piece of shit to watch.

I remember being 11 and seeing the original Blade Runner in theaters. Strangely enough I saw E.T. after this movie and wondered why people kept talking about it so much when Blade Runner was such a cooler film (IMO). Not certain if I want anyone to touch this universe again but that movie initiated me into the cult of cyberpunk, so I will give whatever comes out a chance.

Blade Runner had a great style that reminds me alot of Ghost in the Shell 2 (a dark, dystopian cyberpunk future). We get an idea of the distopian future through the visuals alone. I hope it does this through the same method but doesnt focus on them like in Robin Hood. This is a rare time where using CG would be amazing; as long as it's not a cash-grab.

I hope they use this to it's potential and expand on this world, that would be really interesting to see. A remake would suck because the twist is already known and a reboot is pointless.

i haven't even watched the first movie yet, and I have the frigging director's cut. Hopefully it's not a reboot/remake, but rather an expansion of the universe with different or new characters. Since it's the original creator, there's a slim chance, it won't turn out like the AVP franchise.

Once again, Fungusmonkey said what I was going to say before I said it.

All these reports of what he's signing onto and how he's going about things makes sound insane ... but we've yet to see his insanity so we can only trust his judgment for now.

This is really sacred ground they are treading. Then again, if they ever were to do another Blade Runner movie, I'd only trust it to Ridley Scott. Not that he can't make some really rubbish flicks, but he got it so right the first time

I really, REALLY hope he knows what he's doing.

You better not fuck this up, Mr. Scott.
