How about a Blade Runner sequel?
U know, Deckard running around offing replicant hunters trying to off him and Rachel.....

Deckard and Rachel escaped into the hills. They move into a small cabin and have a wise-cracking replicant butler clean up for them. The nextdoor neighbor is nosy and a real pest. Deckard and Rachel go camping but Rachel brings all the appliances along. Hilarity ensues.

K. W. Jeter wrote a series of "official" Blade Runner sequels in book form in the 90's. If I recall correctly they were rather poor. Jeter apparently couldn't decide whether to stick to the world of the movie or Philip K. Dick's novel, so the ones I read came out as a weird mish-mash of both.
A movie sequel will probably be even worse.

That part was actually in Jeter's books.  |

Maybe a prequel or spin-off about the replicants' offworld adventures... (but nothing like Soldier)

THIS part was at the end of the theatrical cut!

I'm well aware of that. I meant the cabin bit as an extension of the theatrical ending.

I actually think a series that pre-dated the events in the film would be interesting. (Of course, depending on what you believe would Deckard be in it?) You might actually have to not use Deckard anyway since if you take his character anywhere it leaves nothing for the film. Might get boring with a remorseless cop killing replicants every week. Could be about another Blade Runner, though. Or a series being the universe all its own with Deckard along the lines of Highlander. Maybe Rachel wouldn't come into it until S3 or so.
Total Recall 2070 was pretty close to a Blade Runner series though.

Re: How about a Blade Runner sequel?
The writers of Eagle Eye look to be hoping to make a sequel to Blade Runner. It's all just talk for now but something I'm sure the studio would love to capitalize on. I'll just say this.. I'd prefer a sequel than a remake.

Re: How about a Blade Runner sequel?
Deckard and Rachael find a house at the top of a mountain and eventually have a daughter. Unfortunately, the severe environmental damage causes the magnetic poles to reverse and both Ice Caps to melt covering all of the known world in water. Since the toddler daughter is too young to understand they encode a map back to their home in a 'birthmark' and entrust her to a trustworthy passing scientist to find her a suitable home before their 'clocks' expire since Tyrell hadn't been able to tell them how to prevent their ultimate demise. They eventually die in their mountain home, but the daughter lives on with some indistinct memories of trees and animals ..
Damn, I think I've finally gone completely mad.

That could be a great HBO miniseries. Perhaps if the Battlestar Galactica writers make that spin-off prequel show about how the human race built the cylons (and how their best-intentions went horribly wrong), perhaps that will cover the same material (the same issues). We'll just have to imagine that Caprica is Earth.

Re: How about a Blade Runner sequel?
How about someone remake the out-of-print Westwood Studios adventure game "Blade Runner" that was set at the same time (same month, same week) as the film, but had a different plot.
That was one of the best adventure games ever made, but it had 2-D backgrounds (albeit, lovely ones based on preproduct | |
