Harrison Ford confirms he is in talks to be in 'Blade Runner II' - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;42470194]Old people are still good for films, Clint Eastwood for example did some very good films despite being old as history itself.[/QUOTE] Problem with Harison Ford being in old movies is that they don't go with how old he is and try to put him in the same roles as his younger self. Which is one of the reasons Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sucked so much. Eastwood on the other hand stopped pretending to be a badass cowboy and instead moved on to being a badass old man.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;42470156]But hes so damn old, how could he possibly do a sequel?[/QUOTE] Same way he did the last Indiana Jones movie.

Shame my uncle (Brion James) won't get to be in this, since he died a while about.

do a sequel in other parts of the blade runner universe completely unrelated to to the original plot. only way i can see it working.

Only if the soundtrack is on par, that to me was the best part of Blade Runner.

[video=youtube;RScZrvTebeA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RScZrvTebeA[/video] will literally end ridley scott if he doesnt get Vangelis to do the soundtrack (IF the movie happens lets hope it doesnt)

[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;42470391]Sorry but I don't trust Scott to make good movies anymore, and especially a Blade Runner movie. I seriously doubt this, if it ever happens, will be up to par with the first.[/QUOTE] Just because of Prometheus you think he's lost his touch?

I don't have much faith in a sequel after Prometheus

[QUOTE=Trogdon;42472931]I don't have much faith in a sequel after Prometheus[/QUOTE] For the fuck's sake, it wasn't Ridley's fault. In terms of actual, honest to God directing, the film was drop dead gorgeous.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;42470156]But hes so damn old, how could he possibly do a sequel?[/QUOTE] If we can make a young person look old with makeup, plaster and special effects, we can easily make an old person look young using similar techniques and movie magic. (and some hair dye, of course)

blade runner is complete as an artwork, to make a sequel would be like making a sequel to a scanner darkly [editline]9th October 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=BrickInHead;42470721]i really dislike it when artistic films get sequels, and blade runner is one of the only sci fi films ever that's actually interesting from a film analysis point of view blade runner really should not get a sequel. it'd be like giving citizen kane a sequel. or dr. strangelove.[/QUOTE] or like giving alien a sequel, and then another sequel and then another sequel

[QUOTE=Furioso;42473001]If we can make a young person look old with makeup, plaster and special effects, we can easily make an old person look young using similar techniques and movie magic. (and some hair dye, of course)[/QUOTE] I'd say it's much harder to make an old person look younger than making a young person look older. E.g. Jeff Bridges' as Clu in Tron: Legacy.

Also giving [B]Blade Runner[/B] a movie sequel feels a little weird to me. It would be like making a sequel to Tarkovsky's [B]Solaris[/B].

[sp]Maybe Ford could play the original Deckard. You know, since in the original it's heavily implied replicants are like clones, not to mention the novels.[/sp] I don't think there should be a sequel at all, but knowing Hollywood, I can only hope they don't hire someone like Damon Lindelof to screenwrite it when it eventually gets made.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;42472982]For the fuck's sake, it wasn't Ridley's fault. In terms of actual, honest to God directing, the film was drop dead gorgeous.[/QUOTE] It was a damn good film.

You know, I don't often lower myself to blatantly just spouting memes, but I feel the situation calls for this. No. God. No God. Please no. No. No. Nooooo.

tough times call for tough memes, grimhound

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;42472178]Shame my uncle (Brion James) won't get to be in this, since he died a while about.[/QUOTE] no way, loved that guy in the fifth element [editline]9th October 2013[/editline] [t]http://www.propstore.com/img/products/155/5thEl-GeneralsSheet2.jpg[/t] speaking of another movie that shouldn't get a sequel because it's so f*ckin good

Ford shmord. It won't be the same Blade Runner if Rutger Hauer isn't in it. They need to at least get him to play some role in the sequel before I'm interested.

Leon Kowalski was a terrifying character, no argument.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;42472982]For the fuck's sake, it wasn't Ridley's fault. In terms of actual, honest to God directing, the film was drop dead gorgeous.[/QUOTE] sorry i didn't realize the director isn't at fault when their movies are bad

I've seen sequels you people wouldn't believe...Hmm. Indiana Jones on fire by horrible ideas. I've seen Ridley Scott butcher Prometheus with horrible writing All those... anticipated movies will be lost.. like tears.. in rain.

Isn't there already a sequel... in the form of a book?

[QUOTE=Tony;42474339]Isn't there already a sequel... in the form of a book?[/QUOTE] I dont think Dick did a sequel. I'd rather see them making another movie based on like Ubik than making a sequel independant from his books.

Am I the only person that didn't enjoy blade runner one bit.

[QUOTE=DigitalySane;42474586]Am I the only person that didn't enjoy blade runner one bit.[/QUOTE] Yes.

[QUOTE=DigitalySane;42474586]Am I the only person that didn't enjoy blade runner one bit.[/QUOTE] Which blade runner

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;42470762]True, Blade Runner stands well enough on its own. But if the sequel sucks I can pretend it doesn't exist.[/QUOTE] Correct. The quality of a sequel/prequel won't have a negative impact on the strength of the original. [QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;42472178]Shame my uncle (Brion James) won't get to be in this, since he died a while about.[/QUOTE] He was your uncle? That's really cool! Did he ever talk much about his work in BR? [QUOTE=Chocolate.;42472612]Only if the soundtrack is on par, that to me was the best part of Blade Runner.[/QUOTE] Vangelis or bust. [QUOTE=thisispain;42473081]blade runner is complete as an artwork, to make a sequel would be like making a sequel to a scanner darkly [editline]9th October 2013[/editline] or like giving alien a sequel, and then another sequel and then another sequel[/QUOTE] I'm interested in how this project turns out, even though I'm satisfied with how the original film ended. In the case of the Alien series, the second film was actually quite strong, while the assembly cut of the third one is pretty good. Fourth one has a cool bit with with a basketball. [QUOTE=Tony;42474339]Isn't there already a sequel... in the form of a book?[/QUOTE] There were several book sequels written by K. W. Jeter. No idea if they're any good or not.
