Ready or not, there's more Blade Runner in the works. Alcon Entertainment - the producers of Blind Side - have picked up rights to Blade Runner with an eye to turning the Ridley Scott into a franchise. Plans evidently include both prequels and sequels and may very well cross various mediums. Some reports also say Warner Brothers will be involved.

Blade Runner is set in an expansive enough world that I can see potential for a whole range of stories here - it could make an excellent miniseries - and I'd have no problems at all with a prequel story telling how the Replicants rebelled and came back to Earth in the first place. That said, I categorically do NOT want any more Dekard, particularly not anything in the timeline following the Ridley Scott film. Part of its perfection is that it is open ended and subject to interpretation and that should not be touched. Period.

Aber erst mal einen Akteur finden, der RUTGER HAUER in der Rolle seines Lebens ersetzen kann . . .

Blade RunnerEine Fortsetzung brauche ich persönlich nicht

Na das dürfte wohl kaum ein Problem sein, denn eine Oscarleistung ist das bei weitem nicht!

Das war Schwarzeneggers Leistung in Terminator und Conan auch nicht, oder Mel Gibson in Mad Max, aber dennoch sind sie in diesen Rollen unersetzbar.

P.S. Kennt eigentlich jemand die Fortsetzungs-Romane von K.W. Jeter und wenn ja, wie sind die denn so?

Ich kenne den ersten der Bände und naja... durchschnittlich. Nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht wirklich gut, wie ich fand. Anbei, die Fortsetzungen orientieren sich mehr am Film und kaum am Originalbuch von Dick.

As we reported, Warner Bros. has purchased the sequel/prequel rights for Blade Runner. Christopher Nolan has made it clear by his past statments and the films that he's directed that he is a fan of Ridley Scott. The rumor that is currently floating around is that Nolan is being courted to direct the sequel/prequel.

Producer Andrew A. Kosove is currently seeking big name directors to potentially direct the next Blade Runner movie. The first director on his wish list is Nolan, according to reports from JoBlo via io9

Kosove made the following statement:

"Our friend Christopher Nolan who we did Insomnia [with] would be the pie in the sky for us. To be clear I think what Christopher Nolan did - and to be clear, we cannot remake Blade Runner. As a legal matter, we have not bought the remake rights we have no interest in remaking it we can only do prequels or sequels. But I think the methodology that Christopher Nolan brought to Batman is precisely what we aspire to whomever the filmmaker is, whether Ridley Scott comes back and joins us or it's someone else. It's precisely what we aspire to with Blade Runner, that's the template for us."

Here is what Kosove said regarding Ridley Scott's blessing on the project:

"The answer to that question is as follows. I'm going to answer it very briefly - we won't say if we've reached out to Ridley Scott or not, but what we will say is that Ridley Scott's blessing to what we're doing is very important to Alcon. It's important to Bud Yorkin, and certainly we have the greatest degree of respect to him as a filmmaker. He's one of the greatest living directors and one of the greatest directors of all time. So of course he's very important."
