Ridley Scott has taken a page out of George Lucas’ book by expanding the Alien franchise beyond the original films, and it looks like he’s interested in potentially doing the same with the Blade Runner series.
It has been 35 years since Scott’s original Blade Runner film, starring Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, hit theaters, and long-gestating sequel Blade Runner: 2049 is scheduled to release later this year.
We’ll just have to wait and see what happens once Blade Runner: 2049 hits theaters later this year.
World-building isn’t easy, and franchising iconic properties such as Blade Runner without clear intent may not be the wisest thing to do.
