This is a terrible idea from a man bankrupt of ideas. Ridley Scott is apparently going to make Blade Runner 2 starring Harrison Ford.
Rather than make a sequel (if he had to) using new characters. He's going to take a 70-year old man and cast him as possibly a replicant that would never age that far.

On a relatively unrelated note, did you realize that both Blade Runner and John Carpenter's The Thing were released on the exact same day?
Is that the greatest day in the history of science fiction cinema?

Back on topic, I'm surprised Harry agreed to this, because he was pretty outspoken about not liking the first one.

Actually, this makes perfect sense. Harrison Ford's main beef with the film (other than the opening monologue) was that he contended Deckard was not a replicant, while Scott's director's cut implied that he was. If Deckard wasn't a replicant then he would have grown old (like Harrison Ford)... so maybe by coming back, Ford gets the "I told you so" he always wanted.
The original short story had a lot of things in it left out of the movie (almost all of the stuff about the AI animals and stuff) so there's more material there. But as for "Blade Runner," I felt like they already told his story.
And Blade Runner 2 was called Elysium, and it was terrible.

Good point. Deckard would have to be human. AND, yes, half the stuff in the book was never in the movie.
OK, Flack sold me on it. I am BACK ON the set. Fetch me my trailer!

I'd rather just see a sequel to Prometheus.

Ok everyone shut up, the remastered version of the game is going to be on Steam tomorrow.
I am going to break my New Year's Resolution as I don't know anyone involved in making it and get it.
WHO IS WITH ME? Flack? k-roo? Lex? CHAINGANGGUY?

I could barely make it half way through the first Blade Runner. Why?
