I heard they're making a new blade runner starring Vin Diesel and Kate Beckinsale, with Christian Bale as Roy Batty and Courtney Love as Pris. Can anyone confirm this?

No, the only thing I can do is express contempt and disgust at the idea. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

I hope that is a joke. I think Blade Runner is the best SciFi adaptation ever made. Hollywood seems intent on trashing every classic ever made these days. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

There has been a rumor of a remake for ages, but AFAIK the only Blade Runner coming out is a 25th anniversary "final re-edit" by Ridley Scott. <br /><br />When BR first came out it went over budget and the guarantors forced changes in the release version. 10 years later Scott did a re-edit, but again budgetary restraints limited what he could do. <br /><br />Last year Warner lost rights to the BR source material, but regained it this year so they could do the 2007 "final" version with all the bells and whistles. I hear the top package will include all 3 edits. <br /><br />Arguing against Vin Diesel, other than common sense, is that he'll be tied up until 2009 by the 3 movies he's already involved with;<br /><br />RockFish (2007) (filming)<br />Babylon A.D. (2007) (filming)<br />Hannibal the Conqueror (2008) (preproduction)(directing) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Yeah, I mean and while they're at it - why not a remake of Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Schindler's List, 2001: A Space Oddyssey.

If they use Vin Diesel, then they should get Ice T as well. The whole film would be in a monotone and you could save money on sound people. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Throw in Gilbert Gottfried as any victim you can name - he's so annoying, whichever Replicant terminates him will gain sympathy with the audience. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Oh, dear God WHY??!! Can't these people leave well enough alone? Can't they just try something new? Or better yet, bring back something decent like Whedon's 'Firefly'.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!  LEO is a <strong><em>Prison</em></strong> -- It's time for a <em><strong>JAILBREAK</strong></em>!!</p> </div>

<font color="yellow">I was wondering then, was Mike J. "Toto" then? </font><br /><br />IIRC, he played the scarecrow. Nipsy Russel played the tinman and Richard Pryor was the Wizard. Diana Ross played Dorothy.<br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078504/
