I would be, but I got my hopes up so high for Prometheus and it was such a letdown.
Not sure they should tinker with these masterpieces and maybe should leave well alone.
I see there is a Mary Poppins sequel too. Dick Van Dyke in this one too, with Emily Blunt taking on the Julie Andrews role.
I love Blade Runner. One of my favourite all time movies, but this new one ..... hmm, not so sure.

Blade Runner is my favourite film of all time and it will always be there untouched, so I am really looking forward to this. I was looking forward to Prometheus too but it soon became apparent on various sites that it was going to be a disappointed.

Trailer was brilliant for that too, mind.
I think it could have been a great film if it had not been for the total miscasting and also weirdly theatrical Guy Pierce character.
Remember reading reviews on how bad the performance was and I didn't believe it could be that bad until I actually saw it.

It's so much more, Nick. Fantastically atmospheric, brilliant sets and music and some great characters too.I dont think I have seen blade runner, just googled and says its about androidsnot for me.
I love Ridley Scott films anyway, mind. Alien is right up there too for me.

Can't wait until October 6th - shame Vangelis isn't doing the soundtrack - Blade Runner's always been one of my favourite movies, if not my favourite - just glad this is a sequel and not a remake - Harrison Ford rates the script/plot of this so I'm fairly optimistic.

Who is? Are they going with something similar or a total change?

I guessed Prometheus was going to suck ass from the excessive advance publicity, what shocked me though was just how dumb the final storyline was.
Gotta love the end credits!

I understand your cynicism - but it's not what you think. Dark, moody, dystopian and no robots running around. You may be surprised.

I didn't see your reply before I posted. How odd that we chose the same adjectives.

Looking forward to seeing this. Nick, they are Replicants not androids, how very dare you.
As has been mentioned it's not star wars type stuff and is well worth a look.

Philip K Dick was a master of Science Fiction, you may be surprised how many of his novels have been made into films/TV series.I dont think I have seen blade runner, just googled and says its about androids

As for the subject matter it's really more about man having to adjust to the realities of new technology.

Well, the boy says he sees dead people, but he says it while looking at Bruce Willis, kind of giving the twist away.How did it end otis?
Shortly after that an alien bursts out of Willis's stomach and it all goes a little bat shit crazy.

I'm glad that this seems to be a sequal, rather than another bloody re-boot...Harrison Ford hopefully handing over the reigns to someone else, to take the story forward.
