I don't think you could do Blade Runner on the cheap, I imagine getting Harrison Ford back cost them a pretty penny Nothing about the movie gave me a feeling like it needed to have cost $170m to be produced. If I read the budget was $80m-$100m I wouldn’t have been shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Blade Runner 2049 definitely looks like a 150M movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers are bad, but the pizza is still good. Clearly not an American pizza then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why they can't afford the same courtesy to say, a Transformers movie. They certainly did with Pacific Rim, a film more similar to Transformers than they ever wanted to admit.

UNDERDOG Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 9 minutes ago, Jonwo said: I know I joked earlier about Blade Runner 2079 but I wouldn't be surprised if a future financier company or studio does decide to make a third Blade Runner in 30 years time, with motion captured Harrison Ford and 66 year old Ryan Gosling and whoever the big auteur director is in the year 2047. Kinda bumming me out that somewhere in the next 20 years or so, Harrison Ford is gonna be dead. I mean, it's an obvious thing but still... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I read the budget was $80m-$100m I wouldn’t have been shocked. I remember how the movie development began, by sending Ford an offer via press release. Weirdest way to do it, but it worked Warner Bros-based Alcon Entertainment (‘Prisoners,’ ‘The Blind Side,’ ‘The Book of Eli’) has an offer out to Harrison Ford to reprise his celebrated role of Rick Deckard in its Ridley Scott-directed sequel to ‘Blade Runner,’ it was announced by Alcon co-founders and co-CEO’s Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson. Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the 1982 adaptation) and Michael Green are the screenwriters. While the story is being kept under wraps, it takes place several decades after the conclusion of the 1982 original. State Johnson and Kosove: “We believe that Hampton Fancher and Michael Green have crafted with Ridley Scott an extraordinary sequel to one of the greatest films of all time. We would be honored, and we are hopeful, that Harrison will be part of our project.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one at $150-185m not including P&A though. 1 minute ago, AJG said: Nothing about the movie gave me a feeling like it needed to have cost $170m to be produced. If I read the budget was $80m-$100m I wouldn’t have been shocked. I agree, I think Alcon probably got a bit ambitious with BR and Sony did it as well. I think both WB and Sony will want to work with Denis though for future films, Blade Runner 2049's performance won't deter them from working with him again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
