I first hated the idea but good news cannot stop coming from this project. Villeneuves + Deakins is a winning combination for this. If we're lucky, it could become Villeneuves' maturity film. Apart from a terrific script (of course), what I need now is Deakins being more Deakinesque than Villeneuvesque.

Ryan Gosling joins the project.

"We’re just treating the new one as what it is; it’s an entirely separate movie that will stand by itself. I mean obviously it has elements that connect it to the original. But it’s going to stand alone by itself as a movie." - Roger Deakins

Looks interesting.

Looks crappy. Each shot a quotation.

You're crappy.

They got Hampton Francher to come back on? That's pretty interesting to see. Anyone else see the documentary about the first film, Dangerous Days ? Here's a Shorten Version of it that was broadcast for the BBC. Favorite part is the discussion about the adding of the voice over for the theatrical release.

Edit: Also, with the inclusion of Ford's character in the trailer. It is sad to see that he wasn't a replicate all this time.

They already stated they're not answering this question (in any way) in the new film, which is probably for the best.

It didn't quite convince me...

Ford was definitely no replicant in the original film. He suffers a lot, and has none of the supernatural abilities of the ones he kills/destroys. I can understand that they liked the idea of him being a replicant too, but it doesn't make any sense in the actual film. The adding of the unicorn scene in later versions wasn't a good idea.

Hampton Fancher was btw fired after Scott began to work on the film. And later hired again to rewrite some dialogues while shooting was nearing its end.
Fancher wrote the original screenplay, but Scott changed the stuff a lot to get his own vision of the material.
