Speaking with Monsters & Critics, screenwriter Michael Green noted that the original draft of the sequel script by Hampton Fancher (the scribe behind the original Blade Runner) dropped into his hands with the name Acid Zoo.
From there it wound up oddly taking on some New York-inspired names like Queensboro and Triborough — despite the fact that the Blade Runner mythology famously takes place on the opposite coast in Los Angeles.
Even before Blade Runner: Android Dreams was being tossed around, the project had some even weirder development titles – though they probably were never actually thought to be used for the theatrical release.
