That would allow the original to stand distinctly apart (preserved and respected) from this new series. Simply stapling on a sequel or prequel to an existing masterpiece not only hamstrings the new creative team, but it absolutely requires that the new director echo the work of a 30 year old movie that everyone has seen. And you don\’t arrive at something visionary, worthy of the title \”Blade Runner\”, by hewing closely to something else. Anything less would simply be a bargain basement play for a series of direct to dvd sequels.

These guys need to acquire the remake rights and hand the whole thing over to David Fincher, Mark Romanek, Chris Cunningham, or Jonathan Glazer to visually and narratively reimagine as an ongoing franchise.

Now that would be awesome.
