No worrying about Michael Green as screenwriter?

Well, there's been some apprehension from fans regarding Michael Green having been brought on to finish up the screenplay for 'Blade Runner 2' (and 'Alien: Paradise Lost') because he had "a hand" in the 'Green Lantern' script.  I've said it before, but Green was brought on to try to fix things in 'Green Lantern' and sometimes things are so messed up, it's tough to fix them, which is what I think the case was with that movie.

In a recent interview with Sky Movies, Denis Villeneuve talks about why he decided to do 'Blade Runner 2'.  One of which were his own abilities are at a level now where he is confident in himself to take on such a project, but the other thing is the screenplay that Hampton Fancher, Ridley Scott and Michael Green wrote.  Fancher and Scott had a framework, but Green made it into a full fledged screenplay and filled in gaps.  In the interview, Villeneuve says about Green...

"A young screenwriter that is a genius, Michael Green."

I like what Villeneuve has done so far and the stories in the movies he has directed are great.  The fact that the story for 'Blade Runner 2' and that he considers Green a genius, is good news to me for 'BR2' and 'Alien: Paradise Lost'.
