From/Film
“I recently attended a Q&A session with one of the writers of ‘Eagle Eye’ after a free screening organized by the magazine Creative Screenwriting. During the Q&A, the writer said that he and whomever it was that helped him co-write the ‘Eagle Eye’ screenplay were in the process of writing a sequel to Blade Runner, and had already contacted the producers of the original, etc., etc. This is probably a load of empty words/wishful thinking on his part, but I for one am appalled by just the notion of a Blade Runner sequel, and thought you’d be as well, so I thought perhaps you’d like to look into this yourself and perhaps use your soapbox to get some fanboys a little pissed, as well. If not, then at least you have a scoop.”
If there is any movie that does not deserve a sequel it’s Blade Runner; in my opinion not just the greatest science fiction film of all time, but the greatest film of all time (those of you who know me know I don’t play on this subject). Now before we all go and pound a bathtub of Jim Bean, keep in mind no production company has signed on for this. Hopefully all of the damning reviews of Eagle Eye will keep any studio from ever doing so. I’ve already been kicked in the nuts by you once this week Eagle Eye, what else do you want from me!?!?
