Christopher Nolan Wanted For Blade Runner Prequels/Sequels

NOW I am officially interested.

[Drewza89]

As a huge fan of BR, getting Nolan to direct is the only way to get me to watch. It is well known that he is a big fan of BR, so we know that he would treat the material with the respect that it deserves.

[JLant19]

Def a great move by Alcon. Hopefully this all goes through and actually happens. Seems like they are taking these films very seriously.

[Lemmy Lugosi]

I'd see it, but as I'm not a fan of BR, I don't expect too much.

[radagast]

If Nolan does a sequel, it will be interesting to see which version of BR he goes by.

[csdot]

hes one of only maybe 2 or 3 directors who could make this work, one of which would be Ridley Scott. if they get Nolan ill be there opening day.
relieved its a sequel or prequel and not a remake.

[Walts Ghost]

It's funny, because I go on some websites and fans are freaking out over a sequel or prequel, and aren't just content that they aren't remaking it. I'm just glad it's not a remake. They can make a sequel/prequel to it, and if it doesn't turn out well, I still have the original. I think Nolan is definitely an interesting choice for one. Another I would say would be Alex Proyas. I'd like to see his take on Blade Runner.

What do you guys think about maybe 'David Fincher' doing one of these films?

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”


......But not really really lost if Hollywood can come back and make another buck off it!




I say NOOOOO......LEAVE IT ALONE!


Why can't our culture leave anything alone? It was there, look back and cherish it. Use it for inspiration going forward. But stop taking the easy route of remakes, sequels, prequels of whats already been done!

+1

Blade Runner is great. It has influenced many movies. Just leave it be to stand alone in the annals of greatness.

Nolan is probably the best director that's active right now, but some movies need to be left alone.

that was the third person i was thinking of in my previous post. his visual style is definitely perfect for it, and id love to see him do a (good) sci-fi movie.

Why waste Nolan's immense talent on something that will be inherently derivative and inferior to the original?

Why waste Nolan's time at all. Nolan is good at doing original and new things, and after he is through with Batman I want him to continue with his original ideas. Prestige was a book, but it wasn't a sequel or prequel. I am seriously getting tired of the lack of originality in Hollywood. I don't mind prequels and sequels, but I like a balance between them and original and new things.

[Beast]

Ugh. This is almost a guarentee that I likely won't see it. Only thing really good Nolan has ever done was Memento.

Agreed with those who say leave it alone. There's no need for Prequels/Sequels of the film at all.

[Foggy]

I don't care who's names involved, I don't want it.

Nolan will probably say no though if they approach him

[SammyB]

I always thought the book was far better than the movie, and that the movie was over rated. I've only seen the theatrical cut, so maybe there's more in the directors cut, or another cut. The movie skimmed along some of the most important parts of the book. In the book the animal part

[Show spoiler](how animals were almost completely gone, and the desire for people to still have them)

was made far clearer and really got me thinking, while in the movie it was just barely touched on. The movie just felt like the cliff notes to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".

I'd like to see somebody, Nolan maybe, make a Blade Runner that delved deeper, rather than barely touch the surface. A Scanner Darkly was a great adaption of Philip K. Dick's work. So maybe Richard Linklater, however I've never seen his other work, so I don't know if he only has that one movie.

[papaholmz]

With Nolan directing, we might finally get a BR movie worthy of all the hype.

Although Memento was his best movie (in my opinion), all of his movies have been pretty good. The only movies of his that I didn't think were great were Insomnia and Batman Begins, and I would still call both of those decent films.
