Can we get them to get rid of Ridley Scott now, too?

Here's the storify, of a lovely ladify (Phil D.), Thursday, 8 August 2013 17:46 (eleven years ago) link

At this point I'm actually hoping they bring in Lindelof, because the only reason I'd see a sequel would be for the LOLs.

idgi. It's just clips of Blade Runner in black & white - they should have at least left the sci-fi elements out if they wanted it to look like a film made in the 1940s. Otherwise, film is so obviously noirish anyway that I don't see the point.

Yeah, and they didn't even use Harrison Ford's voiceover, the most noirish element of the whole movie.

Scott says that the new Blade Runner should start filming within the next year, according to Variety. He also gave some of the first details on what the movie will be about. Scott reportedly says that Harrison Ford has signed on to reprise his role from the original film, but Ford will apparently only factor into the end of the film. "Harrison is very much part of this one, but really it’s about finding him," Scott tells Variety. "He comes in in the third act." Scott also says that the script makes sense in the way that it relates to the original. He's previously called it "damn good." There's no word on who might replace him as director.

It's from a scene in 2010 where Dave Bowman returns from Jupiter and starts zooming around, appearing to his wife on her kitchen TV and showing up at his mom's hospice room where he brushes her hair telekinetically just one more time until she dies right then and there.

Here's the closest I could find to this scene on the Internet:

I guess we're not as advanced as Blade Runner as we thought.

“I can’t mount a film of this budget, where I have to rely on tax rebates in Spain, and say that my lead actor is Mohammad so-and-so from such-and-such,” Scott says. “I’m just not going to get it financed. So the question doesn’t even come up.”

seeing this on the big screen for the first time ever in a few weeks, pretty stoked.

so the screening i went to turned out to be the original non-director's-cut version, with voiceover et al, which i'd never seen before. thoughts:

-there's a lot less of the voiceover than i'd expected; maybe a few lines every 15 minutes. of course it's terrible, but it's so poorly integrated into the film that it's easy to sort of filter it out.
-even with the crummy voiceover, the script is remarkably taut and concise, so much so it's sort of elliptical; i'm hard-pressed to think of a scene, or even a single line of dialogue, that didn't seem essential to the story.
-the death scenes in this movie are remarkably upsetting, espec. pris.
-this is a really sad movie! i can't say i understood it at all as a teenager beyond thinking it was pretty and cool, but the whole thing just feels so mournful and miserable. i've made stupid challopsy remarks about this movie not being that good in the past, which i'm pretty embarrassed about now.

Yeah that's the thing about it -- even at its most compromised and chopped up (the network TV debut broadcast in 1986, when I first saw it), that uneasy melancholia still came through big time. Vangelis had a lot to do with that.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 31 December 2014 11:29 (nine years ago) link

death scenes *even more* upsetting in full gory Final Cut version!

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

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

pplains, Friday, 17 April 2015 12:58 (nine years ago) link

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

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

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Thursday, 21 May 2015 01:07 (nine years ago) link

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

( who ALSO my boss and his sister!) (sic), Thursday, 21 May 2015 15:22 (nine years ago) link

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

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 21 May 2015 19:29 (nine years ago) link

xpost

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."
