I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Ford is a replicant, I'm out of this. The idea of an OAP robot is fcuking dumb on so many levels.

That's the thing.

How can Deckard be a replicant if this movie is set in 2049 and the man is 73? That goes completely against the replicant and their minimal lifespan setup in the original.

Out of all the movies that don't need a sequel....

I'm afraid that they might try to shoehorn it in. Scott's gone to great lengths to try and force it in the original, with his susequent cuts and eliminating it at this point causes problems. Although, it wouldn't for me, because AFAIC, the only 'Blade Runner' is the 1982 version.

I'm really hoping that that whole bullshit angle has been dropped and Deckard isn't some OAP robot in this sequel. However, I've heard that it's going to be left "open".

As for the trailer, it looks nice enough, but lacks the feel of 'Blade Runner'. It's looking more like an action movie, whereas the original was more restraint and thoughtful.

I suppose todays audience would consider that "boring".

I actually much prefer sequels that try to do their own thing, I think that they've got a much better chance of being a good film that way.

The example I always use for how to do a sequel is Aliens. Took the pure horror of the original and melded it with a war/action movie. The result was a fresh film that I preferred over the original, which doesn't happen all that often.

True. But, it can't be too much of its own thing. Otherwise, you might as well just make a completely different film altogether. But the big Hollywood problem of "biggerer and betterer" rarely bodes well. Not that I am saying that's what's happening here. Either way, a more pumped 'Blade Runner' won't be a deal breaker for me, so long as it isn't trash like 'Fast and Furious 20'. But, if Deckard is a robot, it can go and shite. That's the real no no.

I have always preferred 'Alien' myself. It's heavy mood is far superior to 'Aliens'. But, as sequels go, Cameron's film is at the top of the list, there's no doubt about it.

The thing for me is 'Alien' broke new ground (relatively speaking) in its world building. 'Aliens', as great as it is, feels like a bog standard 80's action flick at times.

Like your man did Sicario and Arrival, both really good films, but this?

^Thats a serious contender for "greatest scene you can ever watch in a movie" for the pumpkin.

Blade Runner is a perfect film like. A sequel is at best, unnecessary and at worst, a giant poo over the original.

ziggyman17 · 09-05-2017 07:10PM

Blade Runner is my favorite film of all time, I love everything about it, I just cannot understand why they want to make a sequel...........well I do £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££.....

Agent Coulson · 09-05-2017 07:17PM

I wonder how many cuts of this we will see over the next couple of decades.

To be honest didn't need to pause, first viewing of the trailer saw that and was like "well great, he's a replicant".

Trailers just show too much these days. Like anyone needs to be sold on Blade Runner.

The Black Oil · 19-05-2017 09:12PM

Liked the trailer, though Ford running - old.

pixelburp · 23-06-2017 04:51PM

A featurette was released, and while the talking heads don't add much, the video contains a smattering of new footage, giving a better sense of the world & its various locations. Nothing plot spoilery.

I think hes a suberb actor, he will most likely outshine Ford.

Way too much info.

Since he can't act and has the same facial expression in all his movies. He is a bigger piece of wood than Keanu Reeves

Yeah no more trailers for me, too much in that one.

I've always maintained this too, he just oozes 'charmless' to me. It's a personal view but I just don't like him as an actor so my heart sunk when I heard he'd been cast. It killed my interest in seeing the film almost as much as Ridley Scott's control as a producer after the debacle he's made of the Alien franchise.
