kowhite Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 As much as I didn't actually like Enemy, it was really interesting, and a Prisoners was excellent, so I'm totally on board to see what this guy does. So hopefully this rocks. Looks good, and it needs to be, cause I want to totally have faith in Blade Runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 A Blade Runner sequel on paper sounds like a terrible, terrible idea. I guess killing ambiguity is Hollywood's favorite sport right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhite Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) A Blade Runner sequel on paper sounds like a terrible, terrible idea. I guess killing ambiguity is Hollywood's favorite sport right now. It sounds terrifying, not terrible. Terrifying cause it's so easy to do it wrong. But man, if someone did it right...I would be in heaven. So far I haven't heard anything that makes me go no, don't do it. They're saying the right things, and this director has me optimistic. Honestly this director has me more optimistic than Ridley directing it. If I hear it's a 200m epic though, then I'll know it's going the wrong way though. It doesn't need to be, nor should be that. You can achieve what this concept needs more modestly, and you should, cause a Balde a Runner movie done right just isn't going to have mega GA appeal. I hope they understand that.

Joel M Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Blade Runner 2 sounds like a recipe for disaster. I 'll give Villeneuve the benefit of the doubt since I liked all his movies up to this point but it can very easily be a disaster. It's just one of those movies that doesn't need any continuation despite the open-ended finale. A lot of the movie's power comes from the abrupt ending (i'm talking final cut). But Sicario looks great, it gives me Traffic and ZDT vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 In DC? Where? I misread. Thought it was at Tyson's, but it will be there next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Blade Runner 2 initially sounded like Hollywood's lack of originality run amok, but Villenueve, Deakins, Gosling, plus Ford returning? I'm in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 In DC? Where? Don't you follow DC critics/screenings things on Twitter? I'm seeing it Monday in Friendship Heights. Technically I have two tickets and everyone else has class. Awkward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Bladerunner 2 won't do well at the boxoffice if its anything like the original. Bladerunner was a boxoffice bomb and it actually still is a "boring" movie to the sensibilities of a lot of modern audiences. They'd have to give it a lot of action or something because the budget would most likely be big due to the world its set in... and fuck that.

I'm in. I hate to admit it...but the only part that has me a little worried is Harrison Ford returning. But, I get it, you kinda have to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 They should've stayed with next week to expand this wide. I imagine there's a lot of audience crossover between this and The Martian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in. Do you have a list of your movie grades? Or any site you use? Just noticed that I agreed with most of your grades from last year in your signature, so thought it might be helpful to gauge movies I might be on the fence about, haha. Having said that, completely agree with your statement too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 More suspenseful and thrilling spiritual successor to Zero Dark Thirty is my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
