Slash Film With the reputation of Blade Runner, it will be very hard to live up to the name. Considering the company's track record, it doesn't get any more encouraging:
I don't mind religion being injected in movies as long as it serves a role in the story rather than some attempt to beam dogma into my leisure time. BSG had a lot of Mormon influence and its ending ultimately ripped the themes and intents of the original series. Not that I was a fan of the series ending, but I wasn't outraged either. So I'm more skeptical than dismissive.
It'll turn out that Deckard built Rachael when he was a boy, and also was young phenom in spacecar racing. "Now THIS is Blade Running!"
Hell no. Blade Runner is one of my favorite films. Despite the producers saying they won't remake the film, I have a feeling greed will drive them to do something very close so that it will dilute the magic of the movie. Godfather III, the Star Wars prequels, the Matrix sequels.. all are guilty of ruining the initial movies that made the franchise.
I don't get a good feeling about this either but faith questions and sci-fi could work. Consider the idea of Blade Runner is the nature how human are the androids. An interesting take could be whether the androids have faith or even have souls. Similar ground was covered in BSG and some other sci-fi.
