I guess Ridely has decided to pull a Stallone by returning and paying tribute to his early classics his damn self. “If you want the job done right” and all.
This semi-shocker comes from Deadline, who is reporting that Ridley Scott has signed a deal with the production company behind The Blind Side (good for them?) and that he will make some kind of film that 
is some way related to his ’82 classic, Blade Runner. Beyond that it all becomes speculation, as they nothing about the nature of the film. Could be prequel, sequel, or sidequel, and it could involve Harrison Ford but it could also not.
Release the conclusion-jumping hounds.
Obviously with the director knee-deep in Prometheus, the totally-not-an-Alien-prequel movie that has so far walked, talked, and acted like an Alien prequel, there is the easily-drawn conclusion that Scott has gotten himself all excited about tackling his old imagery using new technology and new techniques. But again, without having even the tiniest indication what kind of film he’s making, there’s not a lot of worthwhile conclusions to attempt to draw.
Either way, this is big. Big enough.
So let’s get to it– twitter, comments, boards. Spit it out: what do you want to see, and what are you deathly afraid of seeing?

I can’t wait to see all the impressive model work replaced by CG.
I’m speechless. Never saw this coming. If it’s an Off World story and not Earth based, it could be interesting. One things for certain – the budget just quadrupled.
this seems unlikely right after Prometheus. It might be cool if the 2 universes could be tied together, or maybe not.
He was playing around with doing a web series set in the Blade Runner universe a while back with his brother, so this doesn’t come as a total shock. I’d prefer to just see another story set in the universe than another story involving any of the characters – though I can’t see Scott recasting Batty with, say, Daniel Craig or something out of respect to Hauer.
Wonder how this affects Duncan Jones’ Mute.
While I admit the original movie is a classic, there are few movies that I find to be as sleep-inducing as Blade Runner(Barry Lyndon and Akira, both movies I enjoy, are right up there). If the new movie reaches the same heights, I will be immensely satisfied…and well rested.
Wonder if he’ll do a seperate sequel to each cut of the movie.
Maybe this one will have a story.
A dearth of those over in troll land is there?
Because CG requires no effort at all, the computer does all the work for you! I’m tired of people knocking CG just because it isnt what people used in “the good old days…”
Had Ridley Scott had modern day tools available to him in ’82, you know damn well he would have used them. The tools dont make the art or tell the story… the artist does.
