In this case, I would say it is better to do a sequel than try to do a remake. Doing a remake comes with a lot of baggage and high expectations. Doing a sequel for a movie that is almost 30 years old will give the writers much more leeway to expand on the BR universe without having to follow a certain pattern in an attempt to get a remake "just right". |

I agree, making the next in the series is a better idea than a remake/reboot or prequel. Plus after all this time they can really go in a different direction and use the idea that it has been 30 years. Now, if they try to pick it up, say, two weeks after the last film ended, then they better not go too far afield. |

I'll add that at least in this case Ridley Scott is in charge of the sequel. The producers didn't try to bring in another director who might be out in left field somewhere. |

That should allow for some consistency. Although, Scott can go out into left field just fine on his own. |

I hope more time than two weeks has passed in the context of the movie. As you touch on, that would still limit them I think. |

So now it is being said that Harrison Ford might be involved with the movie in some capacity... Harrison Ford May Be In The New Blade Runner Movie

Until now i didn't know anything about this new film, not even it's possible existence. "Blade Runner" was brilliant, even with all the tinkering. I hope this movie turns out just as well. |

Blade Runner is an interestingly created Sci-Fi world. As techies continue to develop more and more tech and advanced robotics, we may end up having to contend with some of the very ideas touched on in the movie (originally based on Philip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"). That is why I think movies like Blade Runner continue to interest people. |

Why do I have a feeling that all it took get Ford involved was a phone call. Either from his people or the producers. |

I don't see why he wouldn't do a cameo. He'll probably get a big check to do it too. |

I think it would be a massive boost to the movie having Harrison Ford involved. He is still a top actor and i would love to see "Rick Deckard's" story continued. It's been such a long time since "Blade Runner" was released that many in today's audience may not have seen it or know of it but i'm sure most know who Harrison Ford is and that connection may be vital to the success of the film. |

Harrison Ford seems to be slipping a bit on the acting end in my opinion. I thought he phoned in his roles for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "Cowboys & Aliens". However, I still wouldn't mind an appearance and I am just hoping he gets his acting game back on point for the upcoming "Ender's Game" due out in 2013. Or for whatever part he may play in the upcoming Blade Runner (if in fact he does sign on). |

I haven't seen "Cowboys & Aliens" yet so i will take word for it concerning his performance in that movie. After so many years at the top it would be a shame to see his career falter now. It took him a long time to become a star so i hope he gets his A-game back and continues to be a big box office draw for many years to come. |

Ford needs, I think, to enjoy acting again. He tried, after Indy, Star Wars, Blade Runner, the Fugitive, and so forth, to go in some different directions. Not a lot of those were terribly successful. Plus there have been stories for years that he can be a bit temperamental to work with. Put all that together and I think you have guy that just may not like his job as much as he used to. However, you don't find too many replacement careers that will bring you the same sort of money, prestige and opportunities that being a big movie actor does. |

I agree with you Swidden. I haven't watched that many of his movies over the last several years but the ones i have seen have mostly been poor, especially when he has tried his hand at comedy. "Hollywood Homicide" was a terrible movie and i gave up after 20 minutes. I'm certain he can do better with his choice of films. |

All I know about Blade Runner was that Ridley Scott directed it, and it - like Alien is a classic. |

It's a treat STF. Now, be aware there are a couple of versions available out there. I don't know if you are aware of the issue regarding a narration done by Harrison Ford in the original. It was added due to studio demands because they felt it was too hard a story to follow without. Some releases have dropped the narration. |

Its good for a few views, but its not one of those movies I watch over and over throughout the years. Its definitely a classic though and hope you check it out sometime. |
