Blade Runner 2049

[Loki882]

Given Ridley's last few films (Robin Hood, Prometheus, The Counselor), sticking him into a producer's role and getting someone else to direct might very well be for the best. Quick, someone get Duncan Jones on the phone.

 

[Octoberist]

Jones is too busy with Warcraft with has a heavy post production.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I also wouldn't be opposed to Gareth Edwards. He has shown unusually strong deftness in handling visuals and sound that far surpass most commercial directors and echo Hollywood masters from the 80's. He just has to prove he can do drama as well. Because the human aspect in Godzilla was horrid.

 

[Loki882]

The movie doesn't shoot until 2015 at the earliest. Jones could very well be done by then.

 

[dude stannis]

Duncan Jones would be best.

 

[dustbros]

No Ridley, No Blade Runner. Period.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Duncan Jones would be best.

Spike Jones would as well.

 

[Marvolo]

This definitely needs a sensible tight budget with a director such as Duncan Jones. If they let this bloat and be some monstrosity its gonna clash against the original.

 

[I Am The Knight]

So The Force Awakens is about finding Luke, and Blade Runner 2 is about finding Han

Agreed.

In contrast, the human aspect in Monsters was great.

Duncan Jones has a passion project film called Mute which he has been planning to make for years. Mute is partly inspired by Blade Runner so perhaps he would be down for directing Blade Runner 2 if he has time or maybe he thinks it could ruin his chances of making Mute if he took the job.

“Prisoners” director Denis Villeneuve is in negotiations to direct the “Blade Runner” sequel for 20th Century Fox.

Might want to change the thread title.

And yes, Harrison Ford will reprise his original role: http://www.thewrap.com/denis-villen...unner-sequel-harrison-ford-will-reprise-role/

 

[Fallen Angel]

Damn that's awesome.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Filming to start in the summer of 2016.

Wow... I thought this project was dead! Villeneuve amped my anticipation for sure.

 

[Octoberist]

It would only bum me out if we ever saw this in the trades:

"Jai Courtney joins Blade Runner 2'.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Wow... I thought this project was dead! Villeneuve amped my anticipation for sure.

Did you change the title?

It would only bum me out if we ever saw this in the trades:

"Jai Courtney joins Blade Runner 2'.

............Don't even joke about it.

 

[green]

Great director...still on the fence if Blade Runner really even needs a sequel though.

 

[georgec]

Excellent choice for director. Between this an the Aliens sequel, I feel like I've woken up in the late 80s.

 

[Warhammer]

This better have one hell of a script. And if Deckard ends up being a replicant, a lot of people are going to feel cheated.

 

[kvz5]

Did you change the title?

Yessir!

 

[mclay18]

The prep time for BR2 seems awfully long... filming won't start until summer 2016? Geez.

 

[flickchick85]

Nervous about this, but I like the director.
