I'd known Blade Runner 2 was happening for a while before I finally actually SAW the original Blade Runner. I'd known that I was a big deal, but honestly, it wasn't until I saw the original that it really dawned on me: Blade Runner 2 is ACTUALLY happening. It's got a director, it's got a cast, and it's about to start filming in July. As someone who's just recently become familiar with how much of a sci-fi masterpiece Blade Runner is, it's pretty surreal, and I'm beginning to come to terms with it, and I thought, to cap off my other coverage on this movie, I'd give my thoughts on the project as it's looking so far. Like I mentioned before, the production really seems like it's happening, finally emerging from development hell after several years of ideas being kicked around. Originally, Ridley Scott was working with his brother, Tony Scott, on a prequel before Tony Scott's untimely death. Christopher Nolan was even sought after at one point to direct (I'd have LOVED to have seen that, though I'm not sure how good it would've actually been), so the project has changed a lot over the years. But what do I think of the project as it stands?
