Blade Runner, a movie with small cinema success, but a cult classic non the less, based on the the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, by Phillip K Dick is to get either a sequel or prequel according to the director of the original 1982 film Ridley Scott.
The images of a dysotopian earth in the year 2019, have been the source for many artists and film makers since, the vast expansions, and visuals that Scott visualized are simply mesmerizing and are still just as impactful today in the digital era where we see films such as Avatar day in day out.
It is said that Harrison Ford, the original Rick Deckard, will not star in the film as it is said to be a stand alone from the original. "This is a total reinvention, and in my mind that means doing everything fresh, including casting." - Andrew Kosove, producer
Blade Runner is a personal favourite of mine, and i can't wait to see what a proven sci-fi director, who created the original, will do for this new project especially since the technological advancements since the first. Coincidentally another of his sci-fi hits is to get a new movie loosely based on the Alien franchise, to which Scott directed the first, Prometheus.
