Very few classic science fiction films have remained free of sequels, prequels, remakes and various other efforts to milk them for all they're worth. Blade Runner has been one of those ... until now.
According to a press release issued by Warner Brothers Pictures, the studio-based production company Alcon Entertainment is in "final discussions" to secure the film, TV and other rights to make prequels and sequels to director Ridley Scott's 1982 masterpiece.
Alcon is buying the rights from producer Bud Yorkin, who was one of the executive producers of the original film and will serve as a producer on any new Blade Runner movies.
The press release states that Alcon would pretty much have the right to do anything except remake Blade Runner itself (whew!), but that the company "may produce projects based on situations introduced in the original film."
Just who is Alcon? The company has been behind a number of films distributed through Warner Brothers, including The Book of Eli and The Blind Side.
There's no word on whether Ridley Scott has any involvement in all this, but we would hope he'd at least be consulted. And just because the company has picked up the rights to make more Blade Runner movies, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll actually get made—although with all of Hollywood wanting to cash in on existing "brands" these days, you can bet they're going to try their hardest.

Tarantino pratade lite om vad han har gjort med filmen i en intervju med The Quentin Tarantino Archives. Dom har även bra och tillförlitlig information om vad som skiljer den här versionen av filmen med andra existerande.

Vissa filmer borde verkligen få lämnas i fred, som Blade Runner.Usch. Kan de inte bara låta filmen vila?

Dread Central fick en liten hint av en Clive på Moviehole som hört det tisslas och tasslas om det:
Ja, blir Prometheus en hit så är det väl inte helt omöjligt......the "Alien" series will continue – in another form. I don't know much, but I've heard whispers that sequels (to the original quadrilogy – Ripley's story) might be back [in] the cards; the whole 'Alien Planet' idea is still very much something everyone over at Fox and Scott Free are interested in. You ain't seen the last of Facehugger.

Deadline - Ridley Scott Ready To Direct New Version Of Seminal Sci-Fi Film 'Blade Runner'
EXCLUSIVE: After revisiting his classic Alien with the upcoming 3D Fox film Prometheus, Ridley Scott is committing to direct and produce a film that advances his other seminal and groundbreaking science fiction film. Scott has signed on to direct and produce a new installment of Blade Runner. Hell make the film with Alcon Entertainment, producing with Alcon partners Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. This would be the most high profile project for Alcon since The Blind Side.
Im not getting a clear sense at this point whether Scott intends to do a sequel or a prequel to the 1982 film that was loosely based on the Philip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Also unclear is whether they start fresh or reach out to Harrison Ford, who starred that took place in dystopian Los Angeles in 2019, in which organic superhuman robots called replicants escaped and are hiding somewhere on earth. Ford played Richard Deckard, a burnt out blade runner assigned to hunt them down. His tired life gets altered when he himself falls for one of the replicants and struggles to keep her from being destroyed.
The film was not a blockbuster when first released--it grossed $32 million in its original run--but the film has gained esteem over time. From the bleak but breathtaking visuals to the complex storyline and themes of mortality, Blade Runner became a classic. There has periodically been talks of doing a sequel but those never really went anywhere. After injecting state of the art 3D in reviving Alien, imagine what Scott can do with Blade Runner? Now, the filmmaker is ready to engage. Alcon has its output deal with Warner Bros, which remastered and released a 25th anniversary version on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2007. Warner Bros made the original film.
This is just the first step and the project will have to be written and it will likely evolve during that process. That's what happened on Alien, which began as a prequel to his 1979 classic. That changed when Lost's Damon Lindelof came in with a different take on the subject matter that imprinted on Scott and Fox executives. They wound up making Prometheus, which Fox considers an original but which I've heard is a cousin to the original Alien franchise. That film will be released June 8, 2012, with Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Patrick Wilson, Idris Elba and Guy Pearce starring. Scott is repped by WME.

Warner Bros has optioned the 1962 J.G. Ballard novel The Drowned World for Heyday Films. Harry Potter series producer David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford will be the producers for Heyday, and Warner Bros Jon Berg is overseeing it.
The deal comes right after the 50th anniversary of the book, which is set during 2145 and imagines a terrifying world in which solar radiation has melted the ice caps. Jungles have overrun continental Europe, and London is for the most part left submerged under water. The protagonist is a biologist who lives on the 35th floor of a high-rise, where only two floors sit above the water line. He battles a savage environment, and primordial creatures that prowl the undergrowth. Oh yeah, and there are also the Mad Max-like anarchists who rule the city and terrorize its inhabitants.
Ballard was certainly ahead of his time on the perils of global warming, and this sounds like an intriguing visual setting for a post-apocalyptic thriller. The producers will look to secure a writer quickly.
Ballards previous novel to film adaptations include the David Cronenberg-directed Crash, and the Steven Spielberg-directed Empire Of The Sun.

- »Based on a series of novels by Chohel Kamayashi, Yukikaze unfolds on an Earth that’s been attacked by a mysterious alien force called JAM, which have arrived via a hyper-dimensional passageway that suddenly opened up over Antarctica thirty years previously. Humanity fights back and manages to drive them back through the passageway to the alien planet Fairy, but now a special force (led by Cruise’s character, a second lieutenant) must enter enemy territory to keep them from coming back once and for all.« — [Källa]
Mmm. Och när jag ändå kan jag passa på att nämna ännu en intressant film "Snowpiercer" med bla Tilda "Vita Häxan från Narnia" Swinton i en av rollerna:
- »Why the downtrodden appearance for all? Well, Snowpiercer takes place on a train that carries some of the last remnants of humanity as it speeds across an icy landscape. The film, directed by the man who made Mother and The Host, produced by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Stoker) and based on French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, could be the big genre film at Cannes this year.« — [Källa]
- »Snowpiercer is set in a future where, after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews.« — [Källa]

Dean Koontz pratade redan 2008 om en filmatisering av hans böcker om Odd Thomas. Nu ryktas det om att Stephen Sommers kan tänkas vara intresserad av att ta hand om regin. Vi får väl se om det är sant..
Via Twitter/Production Weekly:
"Stephen Sommers is eyeing to direct his adaptation of Dean Koontz's popular Odd Thomas book series. http://bit.ly/cICFo5"
Det är sant, men av någon anledning så har den här filmen tagit gott om tid på sig. Själv har jag varit på gång med böckerna vid några tillfällen, men inte kommit längre än så. Får ta tag i det helt enkelt. Filmen är jag inte speciellt intresserad av att se.

Säg inte det, du kanske ändrar dig när du läst böckerna.
Böckerna skildras ju helt ur Odd Thomas perspektiv, det är hans tankar och syn på livet som man lär känna. För honom är det "övernaturliga" helt normalt och det som ur ett annat perspektiv skulle kunna beskrivas som mycket skrämmande blir här "vardagsmat".
På film kan man ju inte komma in i huvudpersonens huvud på samma sätt och man är hänvisad till att vara en yttre betraktare, även om vi får se samma syner som Odd får se så är vi ju inte vana vid det på samma sätt som han är.
Jag tror att det blir en helt annan berättelse när man ser den på film och jag tycker definitivt att det ska bli intressant att se hur dom lyckas.

It looks like another dose of Stephen King is on the way. In a press release from Cannes, the newly formed International Film Trust has announced that they're producing a big screen adaptation of King's 2006 novel "Cell."
The apocalyptic story follows an artist as he tries to reunite with his son after a mysterious signal broadcast over the global cellular network turns most of the population into vicious animals - sound familiar? The multi-director project The Signal shared a very similar story idea. John Cusack has been cast in the leading role of Clayton while Paranormal Activity 2 and Door in the Floor director Tod Williams will direct.
The last few years haven't been particularly good for Cusack who has been involved in some promising but ultimately disappointing projects (with the exception of his turn in last year's The Paperboy which is impressive) so he really needs a win here.
Cell is currently in pre-production and slated to begin shooting in September.

Minns ni actionröjet "Red" med bla Bruce Willis och Helen Mirren? Nu till sommaren är ju Red 2 på G och filmbolaget måtte vara förtröstansfulla över hur den kommer prestera för ryktet säger att manusförfattarna till dessa två första redan fått order att plita ned Red 3 på papper:
- »Red 2, directed by Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest), opens on July 19, at which point we’ll see if augmenting the original cast (Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Mary-Louise Parker) with Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones worked out. Based on the fact that test screenings have led to Summit hiring writers for a third, perhaps it’s all coming together a bit better than the first film did.« — [Källa]
Personligen gillade jag Red och skall väl se Red 2 när tillfälle ges (i soffan, tillsammans med tv och dvd troligen) och tycker det här låter kanoners.

Red var riktigt bra och underhållande. Jag kommer säkert att ge kommande filmer en chans. Intressant att man redan nu verkar ha gett klartecken till en del 3. Det borde ju peka på att del 2 är riktigt vass.

Faktum är att jag är "long overdue" när det gäller Koontz, för jag har inte läst någonting av honom än.

Förklaringen är ganska enkel, om än inte fullt så rättvis mot Koontz. När jag hamnade i slutaråldern så snöade jag in på Stephen King. För mig var det naturliga steget att pröva någon liknande författare och mina ögon föll ganska snart på Koontz. Nu var det så att jag gick en del på andras rekommendationer i den åldern vilket gjorde att när dom flesta sa att han bara var en blek kopia av King, ej värd att lägga tid på så tappade jag intresset. När man sedan nådde en mer respektabel ålder då man inte gick så mycket efter vad andra gillade/ogillade så tänkte jag ta och läsa något av honom. Bara att nu har det hunnit att bli så många böcker att man inte direkt vet var man ska börja. Men du kanske kan rekommendera en eller ett par böcker av honom som jag kan börja med?
