Blade Runner screenwriter in talks to pen sequel for Ridley Scott
19 May 2012 2:40 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Thirty years after the release of Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner, the scribe behind the story is stepping back into its dystopian world.
Hampton Fancher is in talks to reunite with Scott to develop an original screenplay for a follow-up film, it was announced by Alcon co-founders and co-chief executive officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove.
The project - in the wake of Scott's return to the Alien universe with upcoming Prometheus - will be produced by Alcon Entertainment, Scott Free, and Bud Yorkin.
The filmmakers have revealed for the first time that the new movie will be a sequel taking place some years after the first film concluded.
Scott and Fancher had conceived of their 1982 classic as the first in a series of films incorporating the themes and characters featured in Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, from which Blade Runner was adapted. »

Original Blade Runner Screenwriter to Reteam with Ridley Scott for Sequel
18 May 2012 9:17 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
With the release of Ridley Scott's Prometheus now less than a month away, we've got an update on an upcoming project that will allow him to revisit another one of his seminal early works. Last summer we were all shocked when it was announced that Scott had signed on to direct a new Blade Runner movie, although at the time it was unclear if it would end up being a sequel, prequel or just a spin-off. This week it has been confirmed that the movie is indeed a sequel, and one of the original film's screenwriters will be returning to help him continue the story. Unfortunately, it looks like the earlier rumours of Harrison Ford starring in the film are probably not accurate. They've got a new protagonist in mind and her name is not Rick Deckard. According to a press release from Warner Brothers, screenwriter Hampton Fancher is »

Director set to join forces again with writer Hampton Fancher as new film revealed to be sequel to 1982 classic with female lead
Ridley Scott's return to Blade Runner will be a sequel featuring a female protagonist, the veteran British director has confirmed. Alcon Entertainment, which owns the follow-up rights to the 1982 science fiction classic, announced in August that it had pulled off a coup by engaging the veteran British director to revisit one of his greatest triumphs, but it was unclear at the time what form the new film would take.
That uncertainty has now been dispelled, however, after Scott enlarged on an Alcon statement revealing that "the new story will take place some years after the first film concluded". "I started my first meetings on the Blade Runner sequel last week," the director told aceshowbiz.com. "We have a very good take on it. And we'll definitely be featuring a female protagonist. »

Blade Runner 2 Details!

Hands up who’s cacking themselves with excitement over Alien prequel Prometheus. Thought so. Despite initial concerns over Ridley Scott returning to a franchise all but destroyed by piss-poor sequels and crossovers, the film looks – let’s be honest here – fucking awesome.
The same concerns were voiced when news came a few months back that Scott was also planning to return to another of his most beloved films, Blade Runner. But now, with Prometheus-fever hitting critical mass, the thought of another Blade Runner sounds tickety-boo and a half. Further to this, it has just been announced that original Blade Runner screenwriter Hampton Fancher may return. Though plot details are sparse for now, we can confirm the film will take place some years after the original, and that it may stem from Scott and Fancher’s original plan, to produce several movies based on ideas from Phillip K. Dick’s original book, »

Ke$ha, Miley And Maroon 5 Cover Bob Dylan

Nashville, Tenn. -- Anyone who ever doubted the transformative power of Bob Dylan's music need only look to Ke$ha.
Yes, Ke$ha.
The irreverent pop star known for singing about brushing her teeth with "a bottle of Jack" turns poignant while covering a song from one of music's great lyricists on the new four-disc "Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International." The project features 75 newly recorded Dylan songs by 80 artists, including Adele, Sting, Sugarland, Elvis Costello, hip-hop artist K'naan and others to support the human rights organization.
Ke$ha is one of the more unlikely stars to contribute to the compilation, released Tuesday. The pop star defined by party anthems like "Tik Tok" and "Your Love Is My Drug" took on Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright." As she found herself alone in her bedroom for the first time in months, the »
