As 'Blade Runner' is a personal favorite, I'm skeptical that a sequel/prequel/remake is a good idea.

Thoughts from the rest of the peanut gallery? [coffee]

is there a prequel book to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" ??....I somehow don't think Philip K Dick did, but I could be wrong.

I've said it before but I am a huge fan of Bladerunner! It was really far ahead of it's time. Any time some one (even the original director) wants to make a prequel or follow up version of a classic I get a little pain in the gut. Yeah, maybe a few have been pulled off over the years but I just have my doubts.

I also love the first two Alien movies. But the article said Alien was a prequel to Scott's 1979 classic. What are they referring to?

I guess I'm with zarn02. I'm skeptical. They will have to prove me wrong.
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Bullmake the beast with two backsing shit   [thumbsdown] [thumbsdown] [thumbsdown]

Leave the Brade Runner alone.  The Director's Cut was phenomenal and anyone who messes with it should be crucified.

The new Conan remake/reboot is out now.  What a POS. 

There is nothing good about these.

Prequel to blade runner?  It sounds like crap.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Not to my knowledge.

I loved both BladeRunner and Alien. The Alien prequel is finished for release next year.
I don't have much faith in either to be honest.

The Hoff saw some acting talent in him years ago so Conan can't be that bad.
