[url=http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Ridley-Scott-Describes-Key-Scene-From-His-Blade-Runner-Sequel-31269.html]HERE!!![/url] [i]"There’ll be a vast farmland where there are no hedges or anything in sight, and it’s flat like the plains of -- where’s the Great Plains in America? Kansas, where you can see for miles. And it’s dirt, but it’s being raked. On the horizon is a combine harvester which is futuristic with klieg lights, ‘cause it’s dawn. The harvester is as big as six houses. In the foreground is a small white clapboard hut with a porch as if it was from Grapes of Wrath. From the right comes a car, coming in about six feet off the ground being chased by a dog. And that’s the end of it, I’m not gonna tell you anything else."[/i] Obviously the unshot opening sequence from the original BR with a few added pieces. Ever since I saw the story boards for the sequence and heard Fancher talking about "there's this POT.. a boiling POT...a boiling POT of soup" and all that on Dangerous Days I have seriously longed to see it shot! Glad Scott seems to be taking the same approach with BR as he did with Prometheus using unused concepts from Alien. And it's a beautiful thing that the FX industry has caught up with Ridley's imagination. I'm salivating aka drooling!

I can only hope to God he doesn't ruin this precious childhood memory of mine. This movie is practically sacred to me because of the bond my father, brother and I have over it. I will be very wary about seeing it after what happened with Prometheus.

Eye of the beholder I guess. Alien was precious to my childhood and Prometheus has surpassed it for me. I have the same feeling for Blade Runner and have no worries of Ridley messing it up.

I will quote a few words from Max Brooks classic book World War Z. Everything's gonna be all right!

If you're going to compare it with story and the pace to that of old movie, get ready to disappoint yourself. Time is changed, movies these days need to be quick on plot and lot of CGI. So blade runner is definitely not going to end up like old one, maybe better CGI and crappy plot. People will find way to like or dislike it.

I was thinking that to tie in with the potential up and coming sequel to have Blade Runner: The Final Cut re-released for one last horah in 3D. Just imagine the Spinners flying in from left to right on the screen and when Gaff and Deckard descend down to Station Headquarters with the 3D city scape laid out before us. I can imagine that would look awsome and Blade Runner is beautiful material that would lend itself well to the 3D format. I think Ridley Scott and his producers would be missing out on a gteat opportunity as well as us fans of the franchise to present Blade Runner in a way that we have not seen it in before as well as a convinient and well-timed advertising campaign that would be a great precurser to the sequel which would hopefully be presented itself in both 3d and eventually conventinal formats for us all to view it in. I guess we would be calling it: Blade Runner: The Final-Final Cut! HORRAHH!! And in 3d! He (Ridley Scott) would be wise to consider such an idea.

@Sky, I don't know about that. The 10 top grossing movies 2000 to 2010: Avatar Lord of the Rings Pirates of the Caribbean DMC Alice in Wonderland The Dark Knight Harry Potter Philosophers Stone' Pirates of the Caribbean AWE Harry Potter TOoTP' Harry Potter THBP Lord of the Rings TTT IMO None of these are great because they had the best CGI, they're great because as well as cutting edge tech, they tell fantastic stories. A movie is as good as the story it tells imo.

LOTR? :gulps: and Harry potter? :gulps again: These movies are catering to different crowd and they don't fall into sci-fi IMO. Both are fantasy movies, AFAIK. As for their financial returns and charts based on that. [u]Hunger games[/u] and[u] Twilight[/u] also earning in some regions, they are on top but does that mean they tell great stories? Great stories are rare to find. Matrix was one of them. So is Alien, 2001 and few others. Good story, story for particular crowd and great story is hard to differentiate.

As soon as we saw young, and then old, Weyland with all his hubris, seeking immortality, I was reminded of an un-filmed scene from Bladerunner where the REAL Elden Tyrell is frozen in cryo at the very, very top of the Tyrell building. Supposedly there was preproduction artwork of a cryo/sarcophagus scene where only JF Sebastian knows that the real Tyrell was frozen long ago. And he is covering up the fact that Tyrell is dead.

@Svanya Don't worry about it. The original film is "cast in stone" and your memories are intact. No matter what RS does with the sequel, the original is a constant.
