More sequels? Talking about lack on inspiration in Hollywood, not to mention Hauer\’s lack of significant roles… And I beg to differ: without _Citizen Kane_ there would be no _Blade Runner_. _Inception_ was a visually dazzling film with very little content: the narration is banal nearing trite: pop-psychology of the cheapest kind. Gone are the days of _Memento_. 🙁

JJ Abrams is a horrible \’filmmaker\’. Yuk. He got used by The Cruiser for Mission Impossible 3. What a sellout. Who wants a threequel on their CV?

I\’m amazed to live in a world where Ridley\’s Robin Hood gets panned and JJ Abrams Star Trek gets praised.

Crazy.

\”Ridley just had the best decade of his career.\”

did you actually see Robin Hood, or that year in France movie?

Putting those two, not very good movies aside, seriously does anything in the last ten years hold a candle to Blade Runner or Alien?

It\’s okay he\’s made some bench mark movies, just don\’t see him doing it again.

so you\’re putting Body of Lies over Blade Runner?

Don\’t get me wrong they\’re better than most bigger budget stuff but I still think he\’s not the film maker he once was.

A Blade Runner sequel is just a bad idea. It\’s like that horrible \”sequel\” to 2001. How can you compete with an original masterpiece like 2001 or Blade Runner? You\’re just setting yourself up for failure and mockery.

Robin Hood is one of the best action movies in a while.

\”Putting those two, not very good movies aside, seriously does anything in the last ten years hold a candle to Blade Runner or Alien?\”

Kingdom of Heaven Director\’s Cut is right there with Alien as his best movie. Matchstick Men not far behind. Add that, plus American Gangster, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, and Body of Lies, and few directors have had a better decade. It\’s his strongest output of consistency in his career.

And I don\’t think Blade Runner is all that great.

It\’s funny. Ridley was 61 when he was filming Gladiator. Prometheus will be his tenth film since Gladiator. That\’s pretty inspiring.

Nolan would be a bad choice. His style really has nothing in common with early Ridley Scott. Zack Snyder has a feel that is closer to the Ridley Scott who made The Duellists, Alien, Blade Runner and Legend.

As for Scott, it will be interesting to see how Prometheus turns out. It\’s been exactly thirty years since he tackled the Sci-fi genre. Many would argue Alien and Blade Runner are the two best Sci-fi films of all-time. Thats alot to live up to.

Come on Juliet can you really dismiss gladiator as \’hazy and/or not all that interesting\’?

They should just let that thing rest in peace. A sequel would only serve to dilute whatever good will we (or maybe in this case I) have towards the first film. This has Tron:Legacy, Phantom Menace and Texasville written all over it. If this were done in the 90\’s I would be a bit more optimistic but way too much time has passed and it would really have to pull out all stops to match the first one in visual content alone, something I don\’t think could ever be done again. I\’d much rather see a sequel to Cabin Boy starring Will Ferrell as Chris Elliot\’s son or a sequel to Nashville directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

I hope that Mr. Scott stays far away from this.

My vote goes to either, Gore Verbinski, David Fincher or Nora Ephron. Each of these directors would also be great choices.

Chris Nolan would do a great job. Duncan Jones would do great, too.

Ridley… His work from the last decade and what he said about how there\’s definite story potential for a BR sequel shows how dull he\’s become.

For me, there\’s Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise and Black Hawk Down. Outside of those, it\’s pretty hazy and not all that interesting. It\’s amazing how much he\’s turning into his brother.
