The long overdue _Blade Runner_ thread

well thats just great

the “Blade Runner” sequel will take place several decades after the 1982 original, which took place in a dystopian 2019 Los Angeles.

Ford will reprise his role as Rick Deckard in the film

so uh i guess that puts the 'is deckard a replicant' q to bed

Wondering how different this new movie Ex Machina is from BR

r-gos will be a great electric sheep imo

He'd look good with that red pupil reflection.

Aw hell, he'd look good without it too.

Ex Machina's quite good actually although I'm not sure why Domhnall Gleeson is playing American in it...

in future our position as global HQ for every large american multinational will have rendered us homogenous

Roger Deakins onboard, if that matters.

That's so weird--I've been sitting here debating the last hour whether I want to go to a 9:15 screening tonight of the final-cut version (which I've already seen). I'm tired, and I want to see Letterman, so very doubtful.

i'm sure ridley scott will come up with another "final" cut if he lives another 10 or 15 years

It'll be the one where he does a Lucas-style CGI insertion of stuff from the sequel into the first one for continuity purposes. And since he originally thought having Roy Batty in Prometheus was a way-cool idea, he can use the opportunity to fuck up Alien some more, too.

i'm sure ridley scott will come up with another "final" cut if he lives another 10 or 15 years

the 1992 "director's cut" wasn't actually by him and didn't include the material that he, nor the restorationist, wanted it to contain

Ex Machina was sort of almost a prequel. Also, pretty dull boilerplate, but I guess well done and acted.

right -- what was the cut released a few years ago called? the "definitive" cut or something like that. as opposed to the "director's cut" you mention.

the next version will be "blade runner: no, really, it's done this time."

you had it - The Final Cut.

Jared Leto has rounded out cast of Alcon’s Blade Runner sequel.

The pic stars Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling.

Directed by Sicario helmer Denis Villeneuve, the film also stars Robin Wright and Mackenzie Davis. Cinematographer Roger Deakins will reunite with Villeneuve on the project.

The sequel, set several decades after the original, is written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green, and succeeds the initial story by Fancher and David Peoples, based on Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Plot details are still under wraps.

The movie hits theaters on Oct. 6, 2017.

Warner Bros. is handling domestic distribution, while Sony is taking on international distribution.

Alcon Entertainment acquired the film, television and ancillary franchise rights to Blade Runner in 2011 from the late producer Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic sci-fi thriller. Cynthia Sikes Yorkin will produce along with Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. Bud Yorkin will receive a producer credit.

Ridley Scott will serve as executive producer. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEOs of Thunderbird Films, will also executive produce along with Bill Carraro.

Leto, who is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment, was most recently seen as the Joker in Suicide Squad.

Yeah, this is the time to get that annoying bag of nuts into a film I'm already dubious about.

dude is 44. crazy

i'm just going to pretend this dumb idea doesnt exist

So is this new blade runner going to be sick and twisted?

should choose to be one or the other imo

leto's far more offensive as a celebrity than as an actor. there's something fakey and otherworldly about him. i can imagine he might be good in this as a sketchball or a villain or a character type. as long as he checks his method bullshit at the con-apt port, he could be a gain for this movie. plus, denis villeneuve is great and the trailer for the arrival (so far) looks great, so y'all just take a perky pat or w/e.

I'm going to watch Arrival, Villeneuve's SF film that's coming out soon, before I draw any conclusions on whether I think BR2: Electricant Boogaloo will be a shitpile

although I will also be sad if that one ends up being a bad adaptation of Ted Chiang's story

remember how great rutger hauer was playing roy batty as a sad, complicated person who was flamboyant and threatening and paternal and painfaully aware of his own mortality?

i have an awful feeling leto has been cast in a similar role and will make lots of GREAT BIG GIANT ACTING CHOICES which are terribly embarrassing for everyone involved

no he's Pris

heh i can see that

he'd be just as terrible as pris tbf

for sure

maybe he's the detective that first investigates the replicants but gets nearly killed, and he's visited in the hospital. but only in outtakes that fail to make the movie, and he's all bandanged up and can only mumble

*fingers crossed*

fwiw Leto's androgynous look kind of makes him perfect to play an android.

what makes him androgynous

is it the pretty eyes

he's a beautiful human being

who unfortunately is a terrible actor and seems real dumb

I think I missed that jared little pill won an oscar haha

I don't hold out much hope of this movie being much good anyway, but if Leto's character is the 'genetic clone of Roy Batty' it's going to suck.

Genetic clone of nora batty

Villenueve is a shit director of entire movies but has an eye for a scene. This will be terrible but beautiful, fitting handover from ridley.
