Good News for the Alien Universe - Scott Wants To Make Another Blade Runner Sequel

Let him do so if that is his what he wants to do. His interest is with the robots so I am not surprised that he wants to do another Blade Runner movie. It would not surprise me if it will flop like the last one did. Frankly speaking I will not watch it, it is on my boycott list if it will ever be shown because he made AC about an effing robot. Movie critics can say what ever they want, it gets no interest from me.

Don’t let Scott write otherwise we will get crap like David made the Alien. Let him direct since he is good at the visual thing but keep him far away from the story.

the plot of BR2049 was way ott imo. a human and a replicant mustering up the compatible genetic material to produce a sprog of their own?? cmon, some common sense here please. but the movie on its own was good I thought. good performances and decent character building with amazing scenery. but it seems many people can see past the idiotic idea of robots giving birth enough for the film to be nominated for awards. if he wants to do more Blade Runner sequels then he will. I think his interests suit Blade Runner better than it does Alien at this time. I wouldn't shed a tear if he states hes not going to do another Alien film but with his fascination for AI, BR is more down his street for future films and time to let someone else have a bash at the Alien prequel series.

Robots giving birth, how is that possible? Some sci-fi ideas are interesting but they got to have an answer that makes sense even though it could be a bit far fetched. Yup he seems more interested in things like Bladerunner, let him play with that but don't turn the Alien franchise into BR because they are two different things.

personally I don't see how it is any good news for the alien franchise that he wants to do another BR film. I just don't get the point of the thread tbh. don't get the connection as all it means is he has so many ideas for AI but cant fit them all into one franchise so hes gna use them both. alien suffers imo.

totally agree thoughts, he can make a separate BR spin off but don't use the alien franchise to do it. he wants something different for the alien franchise and I can actually understand his point. but he gave us something different in Prometheus. he gave us the black goo and the engineers yet he shits on the engineers and makes the goo so inconsistent people r scratching theirs heads about it and now the prequels have that BR spin off feel to it. he cant complain if he is going to go down this path and alien fans bash him for it.

Both of them are replicants (Deckard and Rachael)... made pretty clear by the Gaff visit.

Replicants are not robots... they are pretty much engineered humans and the right question is if you want to have a "product line" how would giving birth make sense, as by birth the new replicant is not guaranteed to have the desired traits.

Ali81: I don't know either, maybe a lot of the ideas that he has for another Alien movie are so crappy so it would be better if he stayed away from it and focus on the Bladerrunner thing, that is how I read the headline or how I would put it even though that is probably not what the content of the article says (LOL!) The black goo is interesting more of that.

"he cant complain if he is going to go down this path and alien fans bash him for it."

I agree

must have missed the gaff visit redguy, refresh my memory plz?

Red0Guy: OK, I get it. I do not know that much about Bladerunner other than that it is a lot about AI.

In the scene where K visits Gaff at the retirement home, the latter says about Deckard that he is retired (in both Hungarian and English, to be clear for the audience) meaning he is a dead replicant. To accentuate he also tells about Deckard's eye problem (in the first movie that single shot in which Deckard has that glowing thing in his eye making him replicant). 

If this is does not convince you, ok....nowhere in the movie it is stated clearly, however.

to me, going down the AI route just smacks of a lack of imagination for the prequels. its a lazy, easy plot that really anyone could have done. AI has a place within the franchise no doubt as 2 of the best loved characters were synthetic, sorry, 'artificial person' so it makes sense to have David. but im not watching alien coz Iv watched Blade Runner 5000 times and want more AI in my life. I watch alien because of the beast, the facehugger and the continuous efforts the company makes to get its hands on it and since Prometheus, I want to see the expanded universe teased by that film. but hey ho, Fox has obviously sent RS special order 666, stay in budget, get it made as fast as possible and make us tons of cash. all other priorities rescinded. fans and franchise expendable.

Vickers said that right before she was smashed dk.

Great news Ati. I know they are looking past the theater distribution towards streaming and Blue-Ray sales so I hope they put together a Blade Runner sequel again soon.

Ingeniero - It is suggested at the end of Blade Runner 2049 that the story would leave Earth in a sequel. I would like to see that space movie very much. Would it be a Prometheus prequel? Sounds interesting...

how would BR and Prometheus ever be connected?

I don't know, ali81, I am not a scripter...

their not even owned by the same studio.

Disney will buy them.

they certainly seem to have money to burn

a lot of money

As Red0guy pointed out the Replicants are Biological Creations, they are just Engineered and not the creation of Natural Procreation.

We in Science now are Creating Humans with 3 Parents, how long before Science unlocks the ability to artificially turn a Female Egg Cell into a Fetus with no SPERM but imprinting the Genetics that a Sperm would pass onto to a Egg?  While also then Manipulating Genes so we can make a Designer Baby, and remove Genetic Flaws and Manipulate it to have the Best of Human Traits, We could then be looking at Creating a Human Clone, that has the most attractive Human Characteristics, with Genetic Markers to allow it to become Physically and Mentally superior to most Humans.

ONCE we achieve something like this, that is Born without a Father but via Genetic Manipulation we would create the near Perfect Human being and in affect this would be a AI because it would not have been created Naturally.

People do seem to think AI has to mean something constructed from Synthetic Materials and a Machine/Robot but that does not have to be the case... WHY i am willing to bet the LV-223 Engineers will be revealed as a AI too.
