BLADE RUNNER RIGHTS TO BE SOLD: HOW COULD WE HATE THIS MORE?
Emma Rowley

Warner Bros subsidiary Alcon is in final negotiations to acquire the rights to Ridley Scott's 1982 science fiction phenomenon Blade Runner from producer/director Bud Yorkin, according to a story on Deadline New York. Their plan is to create multi-platform spin-offs.

Alcon has produced films including The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (1 & 2), My Dog Skip, Chasing Liberty and were the masterminds behind the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man, so not only are they known for their subtle and nuanced filmmaking, they actually have form when it comes to maiming the legacy of classic genre pictures (with or without the superfluous addition of bees). As if wishing to stave off infuriated reactions in advance, its co-founders Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove have been quick to pay lip-service to the film that some consider the greatest sci-fi movie of all time:
“We are honored and excited to be in business with Bud Yorkin. This is a major acquisition for our company, and a personal favorite film for both of us. We recognize the responsibility we have to do justice to the memory of the original with any prequel or sequel we produce. We have long-term goals for the franchise, and are exploring multi-platform concepts, not just limiting ourselves to one medium only.”

Oh good! They're not limiting themselves to a single medium, otherwise we could miss out on the TV series, the spin-off novels (SF writer KW Jeter has already written three novels intended to act as sequels to both Philip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Blade Runner – but why stop there?), the webisodes and more.

Still, we've come up with twenty ways they could make us hate the idea of Blade Runner prequels and sequels even more:
1. Cast Shia LeBeouf as Deckard
2. Cast Alex Pettyfer as Deckard
3. Cast Tickle-Me-Elmo as Deckard
4. Make the replicants into sassy teens
5. Have the replicants menaced by bees
6. Make the films in 3D
7. Give Deckard a wisecracking sidekick
8. Get Michael Bay to direct
9. Get monkeys to direct
10. Get Michael Bay/monkey hybrids to direct
11. Trade the Voight-Kampff machine for an iPad
12. Bring the Transformers in to rescue the replicants
13. Bring the Terminator in to rescue the replicants
14. Bring Charlie Sheen in to rescue the replicants
15. Get James Frey to write the screenplay
16. Get the cast of Glee to sing a musical number
17. Get Gywneth Paltrow to sing a musical number
18. Narrate the whole story in case someone doesn't get it
19. Add a twist at the end revealing that no-one was really a replicant
20. Get James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host it

Actually, scratch that. There is simply no way within the boundaries of ordinary filmmaking that this could be a more grisly idea. Not every film needs a sequel, and none needs to be followed up two decades later by a rights purchase that precedes (and probably precludes) any genuine concept ideas.

Aside from #6 [?], Emma Rowley is way too insightful to be hot.
