Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner 2: What To Expect & What We Hope For
9 September 2011 10:11 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
It was recently announced that legendary director Ridley Scott has agreed a deal with Warner Bros & Alcon Entertainment to produce & helm a continuation of his classic 1982 sci-fi film Blade Runner, that Hollywood now deem to be a ‘franchise’.
Some two decades after it’s release where it was a relative box office failure, Blade Runner, like Alien, has creatively become a major influence in all kinds of genre’s, most notably in Christopher Nolan’s superhero film Batman Begins or The Fifth Element. A sequel could reinvigorate this inspiration, or alternatively mess everything up, but if there truly has to be another film set in this universe it might as well come from the man who made the original such a masterpiece.
Therefore I have assembled a list of what we should hope for Blade Runner 2 (for lack of a better name) to include in order to give the film »

Ridley Scott Set to Direct New Installment in the 'Blade Runner' Franchise

Was Deckard a Replicant? Was he human? Ridley Scott gave us his opinion on the commentary track and in the special features of the recent Blade Runner: Final Cut release and perhaps he will now explore the idea further. Deadline reports Scott plans to return to the world of Blade Runner, but it's not clear whether the goal is to create a sequel or a prequel to the 1982 film that was loosely based on the Philip K. Dick novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
The original film was set in Los Angeles in 2019 where a man we come to know as Deckard (played by Harrison Ford) is called out of retirement to kill four escaped Replicants--genetically derived androids of great strength, intelligence and nearly-human emotion who serve as slaves and prostitutes on Off-world planets. Led by Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), these Replicants come to Los Angeles to confront their designer, »

Blade Runner Review Pt.2 – Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young

Rutger Hauer in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner Blade Runner Review: Part I But let me step back, so I can provide a concise précis of the film (note: spoilers ahead), with the original elements noted when differing from "The Final Cut": In 2019, androids called Replicants have rebelled at an outer-space colony, and laws back on Earth have made it legal for cops called Blade Runners to execute them on sight. A few are known to have made it to Los Angeles, which resembles a futuristic Tokyo, where an ex-Blade Runner named Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced back into service after a fellow Blade Runner is killed by one of the rogue Replicants. The killer Replicant seems intent on infiltrating the headquarters of the corporation that made them, possibly to force their creator, the company's titular founder and CEO (Joe Turkel), to extend their lives, which are »

Cult Actors #3: Rutger Hauer – A One-Man Slaughterhouse
7 March 2011 3:04 PM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
“Do you know what happens to an eyeball when it is punctured?” asks Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher (1985), sliding a switchblade up to The Kid’s eye, catching a tear on the glistening blade and watching it twinkle in the passing highway lights. This was not in the script and co-star C. Thomas Howell may have had to contemplate the fact that this bear-like Dutch actor might actually show him.
After all, with his manic intensity, reliance on gut instinct and bloody-minded commitment to character Hauer had become one of Hollywood’s favourite psychos. Roles in Blade Runner (1982) and Flesh and Blood (1985) had cemented his reputation as an unhinged cinematic killer – “a one-man slaughterhouse,” as one critic labelled him.
In the 1980s Hauer seemed fearless. Onscreen he was intense and regularly insisted on fucking with his audience (and co-stars) expectations. He claims he put the blade to Howell’s eye because it, »

Hi there friends. Brian Gallagher here with your look at all the news that wasn't fit for print over the past seven days. There's a lot to get through this week, so let's get started with a cool new infographic about two of my favorite directors, Joel Coen and Ethan Coen:
Coen Brothers Actor Infographic - via Hello Muller
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen are among the few filmmakers who I love so much that I own every single one of their movies. Yes, even The Hudsucker Proxy and The Ladykillers. Even if you haven't watched every one, you've probably noticed that they have a penchant for casting many of the same actors in numerous projects. Graphic designer Tom Muller created this nifty infographic which connects all of the main actors in the Coen Brothers movies without the hassle of scrolling through IMDb.
