I can visualize J.J. Abrams

Charles deLauzirika is the obvious choice. He was the restoration producer on Blade Runner back in 07 and he has worked with Ridley Scott since the 90\’s doing all his BTS work and curating his blu-ray releases (as well as those of the late Tony Scott\’s, Michael Bay\’s movies and David Lynch\’s recent Twin Peaks blu ray box set). He is known as the world\’s greatest Blade Runner expert and is an incredible filmmaker in his own right.

I\’d love to see what Glazer or Gray could do on a film like that, it would probably be could for them to try new things, something more entertaining, something bigger. Fincher would be great too. Alien 3 was one of his best film, and it would be nice to see him do Blade Runner 2 with Jeff Cronenweth who\’s father shot the firts one and worked with Fincher on Alien 3. Nolan and Duncan Jones would also be good at it but maybe it would be best if they chose somoene less expected, who hasn\’t done a lot of blockbusters.

The only contemporary director that has a natural inclination for the visual sophistication and slow burn narrative rhythm of the first picture is Jonathan Glazer. If he did it, one could take the sequel to be a serious attempt to build on the enigmatic qualities of the original. David Fincher would make a solid second choice because he is splendid with filmmaker mimickry and would probably be able to do a good job of both capturing the sensibilities of the first picture and delivering a fresh twist as well as adding some (much needed) marketing heft with his name.

Wild card: I\’d love to think the combination of James Gray and Darius Khondji would work, but Khondji did a really dreadful job of capturing the "Alien" aesthetic in "Resurrection." Slick, yes — but not "Alien"-esque at all. But James Gray + (brilliant cinematographer to be named later) could work.

From the vault: Both Adrian Lyne and Alan Parker (a wildly underrated director) come from the same commercials background and aesthetic perspective as Ridley Scott and could probably be counted on to do something very evocative of the atmoshpere of the first picture. And let\’s be frank: the atmosphere of "Blade Runner" is 90% of the magic.

David Fincher would be perfect.

What matters is that the way is unobstructed for him to direct Prometheus 2!

"…it\’s about finding him." Yep, he\’s a runner. I\’m more excited about The Martian. Tremendous book!

Blade Runner 2 needs a great formalist such as Winding Refn, Wong Kar-wai, Iñárritu, David Michôd, Xavier Dolan, Spike Jonze, Darren Aronofsky, Bennett Miller, J. C. Chandor, Derek Cianfrance and Alfonso Cuarón.

Alex Proyas is a solid director with an eye for future noir that, under Scott\’s guidance, could capture the right atmosphere and do this justice. (Although i still think Blade Runner should be left untouched.)

Blade Runner is a WB\’s production so probably Chris Nolan.

Logically, this project needs a post-modernist American director, so some good candidates are:

The Coen bros.
David Lynch
Sam Raimi
Steven Soderbergh
David Fincher
