I kinda feel like I've derailed this thread with all this talk about the merits of Prequels so think I should direct everyone who wishes to continue the discussion over here:

As for Blade Runner, it's a film with a very specific style that I don't believe can be replicated by a modern day Sequel or Prequel. However, this move has very little to do with the artistic merit of extending the franchise and a lot to do with the business side of ensuring the rights to Blade Runner don't expire. This is why the news has been greeted negatively by the vast majority of fans.

Your brain just makes s**t up!

I was thinking about this.

IF "Blade Runner" needs to be franchised, I'd like to see 4-6 ambitious directors given a shot to make an anthology film. Each short film could be a different nook of the amazing "Blade Runner" Los Angeles.

  • How do you sign up for the outer colonies?
  • What is the normal relationship between a funtioning replicant and its owner?
  • A Private Eye is hired to follow a man he doesn't know is actually a replicant as a test of some sort by the evil corporation.
  • A nervous guy is trying to hide that his pet sheep is really a replicant (an aspect of DADOES ignored in the film).
  • A short film about the mood-organ thing from DATOES.

 

Just thoughts that might be neat to see.

That could work pretty well actually. If they did that it could be interesting

That's theBoost's calling card.

I've been trying to rehabilitate him for years, but... I'm done trying to change TheBoost.  Now I just let him move right through me on his way to you.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

Rewrite the Prequels!
