Scott protecting Scott

Ridley Scott is now signed to reboot Blade Runner:

As the rights were signed away last year or so, I think Ridley is taking this one just so no one else can fuck up Blade Runner. Only he can do that!

They’d be better off putting money into a big budget sci-fi based on an Iain M Banks novel. They were epic tales and could certainly be made into quality adult sci-fi films.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

(Starring Will Smith, of course)

I like how Ridley is somehow always going to reboot Blade Runner, or rebooting Alien, or or or but never does it.

Heard bladerunner was going to be a prequel.

rebooting Alien

Well he’s on this at the moment, but it seems Prometheus is not a direct sequel or prequel but a splinter film from the original. It’s got a cool cast so far - Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, … and STRINGER BELL!

Heard that ten years ago. Or was it six? No wait, it was four…

Trust me, it’s been discussed ad nauseum many times. I’d sooner see an original, even if it isn’t my cup of tea (Gladiator, Matchstick Men).

It’s not a discussion. They’re shooting the film now.
