I don't if this has been been discussed before...but I went 6 pages in and saw no thread...so I thought I'd start one.
I LOVE Blade Runner, it's one of my favorite films(with the narration). So naturally I was a little apprehensive about a new sequel(or prequel?). But, knowing it will be Ridley Scott made feel a little better. I don't think Rick Deckard will be back(it's probably for the best, because it won't be Harrisin Ford and I don't want to see him re-cast).
So, I'm thinking a new character. I think there's two ways they could do this
1.) A rookie Blade Runner who has yet to develop any sympathy about "retiring" replicants. (2.) Or, another older veteran Blade Runner who has grown weary of killing.
But choice is for the seasoned Vet. And knowing how Directors often like to work with the same actors...my choice is Russell Crowe. I think he could capture the feeling of the original, but bring something new to his character. Plus, he's played a similar part before(L.A. Confidential).
What do you guys think?
