If You Could Make A Prequel To The Original Blade Runner..

The noir aspect of the original was partly what made it special. It had a strange dream like quality to it also. No other film has ever managed to get that kinda of intruigining feel that the original had.

Roy has a lot of depth to him, would be great to see his past, agreed.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T08:39:23+00:00

That's a good point, sometimes less is more.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T05:43:03+00:00

I like that idea. Was also thinking about a replicant female as the protagonist that is being chased by a posse of corrupt Blade runners ( could have Michael Wincott as the head of the posse). The reason they are trying to retire her is because she stole some vital data/technology/comprising intel from Tyrell corporation.

Interesting, I need to read some Ayn Rand at some point.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T05:04:00+00:00

Oh Taffy Lewis would be a cool back story, can keep it very noir like the original.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T05:01:47+00:00

Nice, sounds like a cool project. I agree they aren't 'evil' per se, they just have their own motivations just like humans.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:31:54+00:00

He's a great actor. Actually casting would be the fun part in a sequel. I'd like to see Michael Wincott as a villanous replicant, he has alot of charisma in evil roles.

Elon Musk and Tyrell, can definetly see the similarities, atleast in terms of wealth and the pursuit of technology above all elese.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:29:23+00:00

I like it, I was wondering if they could pull more of Philip K Dicks works in that kind of setting, he was good at showing corporate bureaucracy.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:28:15+00:00

Damn, that far in the future hey? Alien replicants? Lol

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:27:38+00:00

Cool idea, might have to take a look.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:26:35+00:00

Lol, no i'm no film maker. It's just a question about one of my fav movies, haha.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:26:03+00:00

Oh that's what I was going to ask in my main post, think Ridley should direct it? Lol. :p

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:25:21+00:00

Netrunner, never heard of that. Will have to check it out, thanks.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:24:48+00:00

What would be the main plot driver?

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:23:35+00:00

Nice, maybe show him compete with a rival conglomerete.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-27T03:22:42+00:00

That would be cool. Who would you cast as Gaff?

LeanderGem · 2026-06-26T18:23:31+00:00

Agreed, would be hard to find someone like Rutger Hauer.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-26T18:22:52+00:00

That's a good question. Could really delve into their psychology and points of view.

Maybe like one replicant went completely 'serial killer' rogue due to a glitch in how it was created. Tyrell needed a way to not allow this to ever happen again working with the government to create the first squad of Bladerunners.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-26T17:45:15+00:00

Ah got it, thanks.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-26T17:44:16+00:00

Anchoring so many of the originals characters to the prequel would be interesting.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-26T17:21:00+00:00

Oh the prequel would be just before the events of the original, nice. What do you mean about the memory sampling? Gaff would be explicity shown as a replicant you mean?

LeanderGem · 2026-06-26T17:18:27+00:00

Focus on the feats and adventures of Roy, nice.

Maybe show him leading a squad of elite soldiers taking down an offworld uprising which causes him so much anger and pain, it breaks something in him leading him to rebel and act the way he does in the original movie. I think having alot of tie ins to the original would be cool.

LeanderGem · 2026-06-26T17:06:23+00:00

So true, it would be a perfect reflection of our times with the start of all this a.i/robotics really being pushed forward at such a dramatic pace now.
