"Grab Neuromancer, it's been DYING to be made into a movie" — I agree but, be careful what you wish for. Johnny Mnemonic was based off of Gibson's short stories. Let hope that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer#Film_pro… doesn't butcher the book.

In reply to Crotalus. Not two days ago, I swore I would never Google this movie again, and you've forced my hand. Damn you. "Nothing", you say? Allow me to present Exhibit A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezAJeaCySV4

Given his notoriously bad rep amongst the American crew of BR, I wonder if Ridley Scott will stay across the pond for this one? I certainly wouldn't work for that guy, every interview I've seen him in, he's just so full of himself. What a douche.

The smile in the third panel so perfectly replicates (zing!) the smile of Wallace. This is fantastic.

Wasn't BSG AND Total Recal 2070 both based in the BR universe? Do they really need more?

I don't think it's something that should be done. Despite the numerous versions of the original film, I doubt they could ever capture that feeling again. However, if it must be done and they want to have some sort of geek cred to pull people in, Nathan Fillion must play Deckard.

$20 says they'll bring in Shia LeBouf as Ford's illegitimate son who takes up his father's Blade Running ways.

No! Just, no! We do not need another sequel. Stop with the damned sequels, and prequels. Seriously, the horse isn't dead, Hollywood has VAPORIZED it from all the kicking. What we NEED is for them to get the balls to make new movies, with new storylines. And that won't happen until people stop paying out the nose for crappy *quels. Don't do Bladerunner anything. How about taking a different tack, on about the same genre. Grab Neuromancer, it's been DYING to be made into a movie. Hell, break up the story, and make THREE movies out of it, there's enough materiel.

Just, don't "I, Robot" it… Actually, forget it… Hollywood can't help but to molest all of the goodness out of any book it touches…

In reply to Chenrezi.

Just a quick note to whatever FancyBastard who added the note about the Wheaton shirt. (or any other FB's who partake of wiki editing).
It's a good thing for there to be a link there to this shirt(it can only help with sales/site traffic), But as it is now, with wording like "brought forth into meatspace by…", and with how the links are done, some pedantic Wikiophile is going to just delete the whole thing. Someone should clean it up before that happens.
I'd do it up myself, but I make a point of staying away from wiki editing, it only leads to extreme annoyance, and the desire to kill people over the internet.

I agree, Batty's story would make for a great film set in the same universe – Chronicles of Riddick, as an example, was really fun.

Also, Wall-Josh in the last panel is eerily perfect.

Out of the fire like a red, hot Phoenix of vengeance, rose a sled on a downhill course with a repressed childhood…erm…vengeance. From the makers of "Transformers 9: Really!?!?!" and "Titanic Two: Electric Boogaloo" comes a movie more Kaney, more fastery, more vengeacy…Citizen Kane II: Rosebud's Revenge

In reply to theragingcelt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Wolf_Moon That should explain rather nicely.

Okay, I expect to be relentlessly snarked on for this. And I some point I expect a knock on my door to revoke my geek card.
BUT I DON'T GET THE THREE WHEATON MOON SHIRT!
I will accept any and all sarcasm and abuse if someone would just explain to me what it means.

Is it just me or does Josh impersonating Wallace fill everyone with merciless horror? Good job, Joel.

I'd rather they find a story worth telling in the same world than just try to give us more of what we already have. Any suggested prequel just screams Terminator 3 to me.

By: Ceri

Ceri — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 13:11:52 +0000

I don't think it's a good idea. We already have, what, four, five different cuts of the original movie? Yeah, I'm pretty much past caring.
Just imagine, if they try to digitally de-age Harrison Ford for a prequel… *shudder*

Would someone just freaking blow up Hollywood already.
I'm a nonviolent, tolerant person, but this shit just needs to stop.
they obviously will never stop themselves until they have remade/rebooted/sequeled/prequeled/moleseted EVERY movie/tv show EVER made. at which point they will just start remaking the remakes(not that they don't do that already).
Every time a new ones comes I have to fight the urge to jump out a damn window, I'd gladly sacrifice the handful of actually good remakes that come out, if it meant ending this raping of all past creativity.
(and if I have to see another movie based on a damn amusement park ride/board game/street sign I'm going to hurt someone)

Batty said he saw attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. He watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate…. perhaps he was the cause of it. That's the extended movie I want to see. Batty's escape to Earth.

@ Roger, +1 on the best Aardman/Scott crossover line ever.
That being said, would love to see the story of Roy Batty's escape from the off-world colonies. The more heroic the better, it would make his death at the end of "Blade Runner" all the more tragic. It would also keep the mysteries of the first movie intact. I hate it when a good mystery is destroyed by a mundane explanation.
