Son of Blade Runner?

There is a rumor on the wind that a prequel or sequel is planned to the classic science fiction film Blade Runner, which starred Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer. See this The Week article on Yahoo News for details.

As Edward Davis of Indiewire is quoted as saying, the key will be the involvement of director Ridley Scott. Scott started in films as a production designer and it shows in his directorial work. His original Blade Runner is the most richly imagined and depicted dystopia ever filmed, a masterpiece nightmare Hispano-Asian future Los Angeles.

I wish Alcon Entertainment, purchaser of the rights, all the best.
