Dear Mr. Ridley Scott,
Put down the pipe and walk away. You already redid Blade Runner. Remember "Director's Cut" or "Extended Director's Cut" or "Extra-Special Extended Director's Cut." I do. It took me a while to find a good DVD copy of the original mix.

Right with you on this.
There are a number of versions. I own several, and in my opinion, the best cut is the so-called "Final Cut." From what I've read, the new movie (if it actually gets made) will be a prequel or sequel, but that better be one hell of a script, because I can't think of anything either could add to the original movie.
I am completely opposed to even the idea of Ridley Scott or anybody else making this film whether it's a sequel, prequel, remake or reboot--unless, that is, it's going to star Edward James Olmos and the entire thing is going to be about the monosyllabic, origami-obsessed Detective Gaff, in which case I am now this film's biggest fan/booster on the Interwebs. Because, (a) Edward James Olmos and (b) are you telling me you wouldn't watch a glitzy SF noir about a guy who pretty much does nothing but grunt, fold paper and shoot androids? Hell yeah you would, who wouldn't?
Anyway, for better or worse, a Blade Runner feature film sequel/prequel/spinoff has already been done: David Peoples, who wrote both screenplays, has insisted for years that Soldier was related to BR. So maybe the question for Mr. Ridley Scott is whether he wants to do a sequel/prequel to Soldier--and, yes, I know there are lots and lots of people who totally love that film for some reason I don't understand.
Rick, I think there's a lot of people in our camp. See our cooking fires burning, Hollywood?
Vince, it would have to be a prequel, which I think I can see some story lines for that. A sequel would have to deal with answering lots of questions (how did Rachel and Decker turn out, is Decker a replicant, how long does Rachel have, etc).
Eric, yeah, Gaff is a fun character, especially when he leaves the giraffe/horse at the end. Although, I don't think you can get much better than Rutger Howard and, "Time to die." Hmm, I haven't seen Soldier.
