Wrath of Dagon Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Nothing's sacred if you can make money off it. You can always ignore the sequel of course.

Raithe Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Well they already wrote a sequel trilogy of books to Bladerunner.. It was only a matter of time before someone returned the idea to hollywood.

kirottu Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Since "blade runner" is a cop who hunts replicants I have nothing against Blade Runner 2. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 As long as it has Keanu Reeves in it, I'm game. Had the same thought.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Maybe it won't suck? Maybe it'll actually bring something new and interesting to the series, explore some other aspect of the BR world? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

We can see how Roy fell in love with Zhora and how that provided an impetus for him to want more life. You're too optimistic though. Why has elegance found so little following?

Gorgon Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Actually I don't have a problem with a sequel. It's going to be hard to top the original, but get somebody good and who knows. Better this than releasing another 'final, no this time we really actually mean it, cut' version. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Blarghagh Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Oh dear. Someone is making a sequel to a great movie. I guess that will just be a small pang of "too bad they screwed up the sequel" every time I watch the original. I guess I'm going to have to whine about that small discomfort on the internet and blow it up like it's a life changing negative experience.

Gorgon Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yes, he's got just enough range of emotion to play a robot. If we are assuming Dekkard is/was one that is.

Guard Dog Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Probabilities of it being any good are pretty small. I remember watching one of the highlander sequels in a room full of people, they said that iconic lone "there can be only one" and someone shouted out "There should have been". it was funny. Just look at the last Indiana Jones movie for how bad a sequel can be, "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) :: shrugs :: Sometimes it's just that a movie is pretty much perfect as it is. It would be nice just to let it speak for itself and for folks to make something new. I like Blade Runner okay, but it's a pretty shaky foundation for this particular argument. Seriously, how many different first-run, second-run, altered, re-edited, directors-cut, abridged, unabridged, no-that-last-director's-cut-wasn't-really-what-the-director-wanted-but-this-one-totally-is-director's-cut, 18-volume DVD box, etc., etc., etc., releases has that film had?? The Keanu line was funny. But to the extent that he has a real acting gift, it's in playing characters who may not be entirely real. Which is a very good fit for a P.K.Dick-style piece. He was pretty good in the film adaptation of Dick's A Scanner Darkly. Given Rutger Hauer's prominence in the original, I can't really see how Blade Runner fans can get too snobby about acting skills.

Monte Carlo Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Some movies (I believe they call them 'franchises') lend themselves to sequels. FFS, I love the Bourne movies, for me number three was the best. I just think that Bladerunner is complete. It's a gem. Leave it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
