Merged.

And f**k. YES.

What to explore there, though? Are you aware that our very favourite Paul WS Anderson did some sort of a sidequel to Blade Runner, called Soldier with Kurt Russell? It bombed, though, but I haven't seen it.

I'm not gonna get into absolutes and say, "We need this!" or "We DON'T need this!" I'm sure it'll be interesting to follow.

[Ratchetcomand]

I don't know about this  ? Ridley still has been hit or miss in the past decade.

I've seen it, thematically and visually it was nothing at all like Blade Runner.

As for where to go, he could do anything he wanted with it. The possibilities are endless for what he could do. I've stated before that BR and Alien could be in the same universe. It's that open.

I'd like it to explore some dystopian backdrop and draw further from other Dick's works...I want something in the vein of Brazil-era Gilliam or early Jeunet/Caro...

I've not cast eyes on any Dick, so I can't comment on whether that's something I'd want to see realised. But again, the whole dystopian/steampunk look is something I'm craving right now. Maybe I'm still buzzing from Deus Ex, but I'm finding myself drawn to it at the moment.

Steampunk? No thanks. But cyberpunk? Hellz to the yeah.

You might dismiss it as cartoons but go watch ghost in the shell.

I concur.

harrison ford coming back then ? i mean... if ridley is serious about this sequel... he better hurry up..... harrison ford is what? 69.....

[Keg]

Very much doubt it. Sequel doesn't have to mean the same characters return.

[JaaayDee]

I love the idea of a sequel.  That means we can actually advance the technology as we please and get something even more beautiful.

Which reminds me; I've gotta rewatch that sometime soon.
