apparently getting a pre/sequel:

"Following his work on Prometheus, Ridley Scott is ready to return to the world of "Blade Runner," reports Deadline. The site says that Scott is committing to direct and produce "a film that advances his other seminal and groundbreaking science fiction film."

While the site says it is not sure if the project will be a sequel or prequel to the 1982 film, Warner Bros-based financing and production company Alcon Entertainment announced earlier this year that they had secured film, television and ancillary franchise rights to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic sci-fi original.

Back then, Alcon said that the franchise rights "would be all-inclusive, but exclude rights to remake the original. The Company, however, may produce projects based on situations introduced in the original film."

Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce along with Bud Yorkin. Cynthia Sikes Yorkin will co-produce. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO's of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.

You can watch the original trailer for the Harrison Ford-starrer below. The movie was loosely based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick."

Anyone here seen the first one?? Either of the FIVE versions....

I wouldn't even put any of the other films in the same category as the one with Harrison Ford.

I thought it was ok. I liked The Final Cut the most out of all the versions.
