Now just in case, if you haven't caught up with the latest BR2 news then I suggest you go here really quick: [url=http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=31175]Harrison Ford in Talks to Return for "Blade Runner 2"[/url]
One line from the link/url above had me thinking, copy/pasted here:
[b]"Story details are being kept a secret, but it's been revealed that it will take place several decades after the 1982 original"[/b]
Now if the rumors are true about the story being set several decades AFTER the original BR 1982 movie, do you think the writer/director should toy with the audience by letting them decide if Rick Deckard is a replicant or not?
Since there is quite a few cuts of the original blade runner movie, several viewers may not even know if Rick Deckard is even a replicant or not depending on which cut of the film they watched, right? So if those same viewers end up seeing Blade Runner 2, should the movie indicate clues or possibly suggest that Rick Deckard is a replicant or should they just keep all that hush hush?
Another thing, I also wonder how the writer or director will present Harrison Ford in Blade Runner 2 as he plays his Rick Deckard character. Since if he is truly human they will obviously just show him as his old age/self unless they put tons of make up on him and try to make him look the same as in blade runner 1 since replicants don't age, correct?
Anyways, if there is anything that i am forgetting or mixed something up, let me know and I will correct it. I just thought this would be an interesting debate /discussion depending on the viewers since some viewers that have seen Blade Runner never even thought or suggested that Rick Deckard was a replicant/robot but that's probably due to whatever cut of Blade Runner they saw I supposed?
So should blade Runner 2 embrace that? Should they go more into details about the mystery of Rick Deckard character or should they just focus on whomever is the bad guys/enemies in the sequel?
